Nate and Katie Weekend

So after YEARS of waiting for them to come up for a visit, they finally made it here. I will have to admit that it was worth the wait. We had a great time. Katie had actually NEVER been to Vegas and they of course had never been to our home. It was so great that they called last week and said they had some time off and wanted to come and visit us....

THURSDAY: They got here Thursday night and we showed them the house and then headed right out to get some food. We had dinner at Chili's. We then went and rented some movies just in case we got bored during the weekend and needed something to do. That night we sat around and talked and just hung out catching up with each other.

FRIDAY: Friday we went down to the strip in the morning and decided we were going to see what kind of show was available for that evening. We had a hard time choosing but ended up going with "Tournament of Kings" since we would get the dinner and the show and neither Nate or Katie had ever seen it and it is different every time you go. We spent some time at the strip seeing the M&M store, the Coke store, walking through the Venetian, etc. That afternoon we came home for a break and actually did watch one of the movies we had rented. "Lars and the Real Girl".... a strange but funny movie to say the least. That night we went to our show and had a great time... our knight not really winning but being the best night of course! We came home and talked for a while and then were off to bed.

SATURDAY: We had to go to an FSA BBQ in the morning but Nate and Katie were great sports. They helped set up with us and mixed and mingled with the best of them. It actually was a great BBQ and hopefully they had lots of fun too. After the BBQ we came home to relax before our show that night. We had gotten tickets to see "Toxic Audio" at 5:30pm. So we headed back down to the strip for our show at Planet Hollywood, which was fabulous, and then we did some walking around again on the strip catching the Bellagio fountains and seeing the shows in Planet Hollywood. We picked up Arby's on our way home and came home to play some board games.

SUNDAY: It had been a long weekend so we all sort of slept in. After packing bags and getting goodies for the road Nate and Katie were on their way home. It had been such a great weekend and we hope that they will be coming back again SOON.
