On Friday, we took Leah to school and had an entire day TO OURSELVES. We actually went to a movie. We used to go to probably 20 movies a year and this is only our third (?) in almost nine months! We saw Edge Of Tomorrow. It was pretty good.
Then we headed to the Linq on the Strip for bowling and lunch at Brooklyn Bowl. BB is a restaurant/bowling alley/concert venue that McCarthy built. It's a really cool place and Brian gave me some goos bowling tips. I more than doubled my score in our second game (and no, that's not saying much).
After a quick trip to Macys to make sure Brian got the watch he wanted for his birthday, we picked up Leah and headed to temple for Shabbat services and dinner. We haven't gone too often since Leah was born, so we are trying to at least make it once a month when services start early.
Saturday morning we met some very old, dear friends on the strip and had a quick bite to eat. Then we headed to Mt Charleston for a little bit of camping! Finally, CAMPING! We've only been taking about doing this for six years and owned our unopened tent for three.
We had The Best Time. Yes, we froze. Yes, we had to borrow matches from people camping down the way because ours had been in an unopened camping box for three years and didn't work. Yes, we skipped s'mores because it was so cold and we couldn't have a real fire. Yes, we bailed on our morning hike because you could see our breath and we were just not prepared. But, we went! And we hiked and made hot dogs and played cards and slept under the stars and it was cold and amazing and wonderful and cold. Also, it was really cold.
Breakfast at IHOP ended the Ten Days of Brian. They were ten special, amazing, wonderful days, but 1st Father's Day and 30th birthday only happen once. Next year, maybe we will just celebrate nine special days :~)
