What Happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas

Sorry to break the news... I cannot divulge any information on what I've been doing in Vegas. Maybe I will let a little for the future post.... In the meantime, I am home safely. I took a red-eye flight back home. I got into Newark at 5:15 this morning with a bloodshot eyes. The good part of Vegas was that I did some running on the famous strip. Here are some pictures... My brother in law took a lot of pictures of me. He just flew to Miami for his extended vacation from Las Vegas. As soon as he gets back home, he will send me more pictures and I will be posting in the near future. Here's the photo album...

Remember folks, it was *expletive* DRY as a martini! Stay tuned, folks!

Ahh Vega$.. last time I was in Vegas was 2001,with the wife... long and short of the trip, crashed Hef's B-day party at Studio 54, crashed Holyfield fight, and met OJ there.

I must be the only person in the world who's never been to Vegas. I need to remedy that.

So far, the pics paint a fun-loving picture!

ShoreTurtle said...

Your photo montage is hilarious. Glad that you had a good trip. Welcome back to Jersey!

Xenia said...

Jess, I haven't been either.

I'm going to channel Marcy here and say 'Day-um!' Those be some hot temps!

Can't wait to hear more about your Vegas Vacation. :)

Marcy said...

No Jess, I have not either. BAH!

Ted, I can only imagine what kind of naughty things you are up to :P

Hi Ted - yeah, we run the same local races at the same pace - I'm sure we have crossed paths at some point. We will have to meet up one of these days at one of the upcoming ones (whatever that may be).

Running on the strip in 100 degree weather, nice (although I notice those pictures are conspicuously absent)

BeachRunner said...

That is one HOT, top secret trip. Welcome home.

Michelle J said...
