Day One & Our Suprise Guest!

The Fabulous Cushing Sisters have two Fabulous Cushing Brothers.  Our youngest, Chris, lives in Phoenix with his family and it's hard for him to see Rene and Don since they live in Kansas with their families.  In fact, it had been over three years since Rene had seen Chris.  Unknown to Rene, Chris and I cooked up a suprise for her at the Vegas airport.  Chris was able to fly in right before our planes and we met Rene at the baggage claim.  She was expecting to see me, but was completely suprised to see her baby brother.  Once she recovered from the shock, we got in a taxi and went to our timeshare condo.  The place we stayed at was called Summer Bay Resort and it was great!  We had a beautiful one-bedroom apartment/condo with all the ammenities and transportation to the Strip.  We quickly unpacked and took the shuttle to the Strip.  We walked the entire north end of the Strip and had a wonderful dinner at Ceasar's Palace's Buffet.  Who can complain about eating prime rib, crab legs and shrimp cocktail??  Everything we tried was yummy and we loved the dessert bar with it's mini desserts.  They even had some sugar free desserts so Chris was able to enjoy them too!  After dinner we walked to the Bellagio and watched their beautiful fountain shows and then went inside to their Hanging Gardens.  All I can say is "WOW!" what a beautiful place and I am in awe of the talent it takes to make such a wonderful spring display.  One our walk back down the Strip we saw the Oscar Meyer Wienermobile cruising the strip.  Of course, we had to take pictures of that too!  We also started our picture collection titled "People of Vegas".  Watch for it in the sidebar, once I get Rene's pictures from her camera.

Day One ended with a good hot tub soaking and lots of laughter and joy at being together!
