CPCU Las Vegas Convention

John completed his CPCU (Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter) last year so State Farm sent him and a companion (me) to Las Vegas. Abby stayed with John's parents while we took Katie. I was a little worried about how it would be with a baby but it was surprisingly fun. We got there on Friday, October 21st and Christina picked us up. We went straight to In N Out of course! It was delicious! We hung out and went to the Outlets where John had a little fun in the Nike Store. We then took Christina and Brian to Cafe Rio, another restaurant we miss. On Saturday we were able to check in to our room at Caesars Palace. They gave us a beautiful view of the Bellagio Water show and the strip. We met up with Mike and Kirsten Esselman and Ashley and Dave Horlacher who came to see us! Thanks friends! We walked the Strip, went to the Coca Cola and M&M Store. We also met up with Chris and Amanda Ray who lived in Texas but were relocated with State Farm as well. We saw Mystere (a Cirque de Soliel show) that night and it was good. On Sunday we went to the State Farm Dinner and saw some other State Farm friends. We went to the pool a couple days and hung out with Samson and Natalie Tufts (a New York State Farm/Church friend). We went to the Blue Man Group. That was Amazing! I loved it and would definitely see it again. We found an amazing restaurant that we went to everyday called Max Brenner Chocolate Restaurant. It was just delicious and located in the Caesar Palace Forum! In the end, I bet $2 and ended up with $19.45, not bad!


Here are some pictures but in a random order.
