Vegas, Baby








Earlier this summer, I took a trip out to Las Vegas to teach a shooting course. Amy flew out to CA to visit Amber, and was able to stop by in Vegas for a few days. It was a good time. We saw the Blue Man Group (which was way cool), the world's biggest chocolate fountain, and all the amazing hotels (we especially loved the Venetian).

Oscar the Pup II

Oscar continues to grow bigger every day. He's on his third kennel, but it's already too small for him. He sleeps on the floor anyway. A couple of days ago we left him alone for a few hours during the day... I guess he was bored because he chewed up the corner of our window sill. So, I cayanne peppered the whole thing. Then he chewed up the leg to our table. So yesterday, Amy let him chew on a stick... which made him sick, so he threw up a bunch of stick chunks. He's a lot of fun, although he tries Amy's patience daily. Lately he's been doing a lot of barking, which is not cool. So I've had to jack him up a little to let him know who's in charge. Other than that, he's been a good dog...who really likes yogurt.

Savannah

This fall Amy and I had the chance to drive down to Savannah, Georgia. We ate at an ok restaurant and walked around downtown. The city was really old and had some of the original cobble stone streets and old buildings. Pretty cool. On our way back home, we stopped in Hilton Head, SC to do some kayaking. That was pretty fun too. We saw some dolphins and other ocean critters. All in all it was a good trip- aside from the fact that we were still in the Dirty South.
