Not your Grandma's Vegas

Going to Vegas for a non Elvis wedding and mini vacation takes on a whole different flavor, literally. This Vegas had amazing food, outlet shopping and a day at the Mandalay Bay Pool with the best Cabana Host in Vegas! It costs considerably more, but being able to say that you didn't eat at ONE buffet the whole time is worth it :) This picture is at the bar at Bouchon, a French restaurant in the Venetian. It was one of the best French meals I have had, even compared to France itself. Dining in Vegas has taken on a whole new meaning if you want to drop the cash and want a meal that doesn't involve standing in line for peel and eat shrimp.

Why Iron Man?

I tend to get excited about Super Hero movies. Maybe it's because of my love of Wonder Woman or growing up with Underroos or maybe it's just because they are so much fun. The hard part is that so many of them are really not that good. Enter...Iron Man! This movie had an early trailer that made me NOT want to see it. It seemed weird and strange, I didn't even know who Iron Man was other than the beginning of a kick ass Ozzie Osborn song (or was it Black Sabbath?). Anyway! The reviews came out and it sounded like a movie worth seeing, despite the trailer I had seen months before. I am here to attest...go see Iron Man for the following reasons: Robert Downey Jr. is amazing, it is funny, legitimately funny and it makes you root, silent, in your seat for the most believable manufactured Super Hero in a very long time. Batman Returns, awesome! But, Iron Man is giving it a run for it's money because it is smarter than it is dark.
