WPPI Part 1


Here is the beginning... We live about 8 hours away from Vegas, and I love to drive, so my wife and I took off on Saturday Morning a week ago for the trip to WPPI. Along the way we got to spend time chatting and laughing about life, and really invest in our relationship. I am soooo blessed to have a loving and wonderful wife!

When we arrived at Paris Hotel, and settled in just a bit, we began our night out. I took Gina to Terribles Hotel & Casino for one of the best prime rib dinner deals in Vegas, and ate it all up! Good stuff.

We strolled back to Paris, and met up with a bunch of friends for a little while. Gina got tired so she took off back to the room, but I stayed out and ate again with David Escalante and Travis. A great Brie cheese burger! Pictures are lacking but trust me, it was good. :)

Later on I got some more great eats (2am!) at Le Cafe with some fantastic photographers and good friends: Harald & Aundrea from BluDomain, Mike Colon, David Escalante, Shane & Erin Melenbacker, Uncle Ray & Anna Santana, Michael Norwood, and Travis Hoehne,. I literally work in the best industry in the world! After finishing up with a creme brulee, a few of us went out to hit the poker tables at Caesars Palace. Of course, I didn't want to start my Vegas trip on the wrong foot, so I waited to take my chances later in the week.


You've seen my iPhone photos in the past blog entries to help carry you along, and I'm not sure how much details I'll include in a recap of the last week, but this is a good start. I'll begin to track down the images from friends and sync others with the computer to share with y'all. Until then, Enjoy! :)
