Vegas, baby!

May 31st, 2009 3 comments

Vegas is the perfect weekend getaway. It was only a three day trip (Sun-Mon), but we were able to cram in a lot of activities into that time!

I went on a safari! Not in Africa…just right here in Northern California. Safari West is a drive-through wildlife park - you sign up for a tour, and a guide takes you in an open-air Jeep ride through the entire property.
