Vegas Baby

We decided Vegas could quite possibly be the funnest place on earth. Kinda like a huge amusement park for big kids. This video is of us on the freeway, super excited to get to Vegas after driving for about 7 hours that day. I also let out a sweet burp right at the end of this video and it’s worth watching just for that.


This pic is taken from the Walkway over the strip from MGM Grand to New York, New York.
Besides the gambling, shows and walking up and down the strip there’s all these amazing tourist traps, such as the M and M museum.

I love this picture, Sandi hates yellow….

We were hesitant to gamble with our hard earned money so we decided to get a head start, we signed up for a time share sales pitch in the new Planet Hollywood, which isn’t built yet, and for our time they gave us show tickets, buffet tickets and gambling money. So we had to play our $40 free slot ticket and ended up winning $90 on this star wars game at Planet Hollywood then another $10 on the machine right next to it, then later that night at Slots of Fun casino I won another $40 playing star wars. The force was with me.

We went to see a burlesque show at the Flamingo, twas quite the sight.

After having all our senses attacked while in Vegas we were craving a little simple life, so we camped outside Vegas in the desert, this is Red Rock Canyon.





Brookings – San Fran

Brookings is on the edge of Oregon and California so we got up early and headed south. We tried to make good time but Sandi couldn’t get enough of these pirates.

This was our campsite in Sonoma, CA. It’s underneath a big nut tree so all kinds of stuff was falling on us all night.

This grape vine was on a tour of Ravenswood Vineyard.

Sandi tasting some wine straight out of the barrels, the little glass tool he used was called a “thief”

These were all the barrels we sampled from, there’s thousands of these in the room we were in.

Just outside of Ravenswood, I’ll be sending this one away as my demo model shots.

Sandi’s model shot outside the infamous Cline winery with their Red Truck.

After touring vineyards and living the high life in wine country we took off towards San Francisco.


This picture was taken in the bay area of Alcatraz, we were hoping to get on a boat tour but unfortunately ran out of time and started driving to Vegas.
