There's a good possibility that Trista and I have decided on our honeymoon destination. She really wanted to head to the Caribbean and that would have been great, but not in September, as it is hurricane season. I'd rather just not chance it.
Our plan is to still take a Caribbean vacation sooner than later, but not right now. Instead, we'll save some money and take an abbreviated trip somewhere else.
I asked her, "What's one place you've always wanted to go?" Of course, the only thing she's ever wanted to do was go to some exotic beach. As for me, there are plenty of places: Vancouver, Boston, Yellowstone, San Antonio, Nashville, Yosemite, the Grand Canyon, Lake Tahoe, and the list goes on and on.
It was tough to make a decision. Did we want culture and night life or outdoor activity and site seeing? Well, I like to think we picked a place that has a little of both. The one place we could agree on was...Las Vegas.
I'm pretty excited about this. We are only going to stay for three days but we will go to a fairly nice hotel, see some shows, dance, eat, and enjoy the lights and the spectacle. Vegas is a place that has a mythical quality to it. Think of the TV shows and movies that have been set there. All the classic hotels, the famous casinos and "The Strip." Plus, it will be my first trip west of the Ohio/Indiana border. Hard to believe, I know.
There should be lots of time to see Mount Rushmore, the Badlands and all the natural wonders. But this time around, we are going for the ultimate man-made wonder. And to make it a little more special, on our first official date we went to see Ocean's Eleven. Which, of course, is based in Vegas. Unlike Danny Ocean and his crew, however, I'm not planning to knock off all three of Terry Benedict's casinos...or am I?
