| I felt just like George Clooney watching the fountains! |
The first weekend in March, I met up with my oldest, dearest friend, A, for her birthday weekend in Las Vegas! Neither of us had ever been- so we jumped at the chance to meet each other in a new, fun, sin-filled city. A lives in New York, and if I'm lucky I see her once a year. I was really honored when I got the call asking me to join her!

| Before the race! It is so cold in the desert in the morning, we needed Snuggies to keep us warm before moving! |
A is a runner too, although a much better runner than me, so the impetus for the trip was to run a half-marathon in Red Rocks Canyon, just outside of Las Vegas.

The run was grueling, the first 7 miles were all up hill. I am not exaggerating this point. And the last 6 miles were all mostly up hill too. It was not the best half marathon I've ever run, but it was great to see A's smiling face at the end!
 |
| Red Rocks Canyon. Hills, hills and more hills! |

After an afternoon of relaxing we went to L'Atelier Joel Robuchon for a celebratory/birthday dinner. It was an amazing culinary feast (reveiw is next).

| This guy really wanted his picture taken with me. I oblige the people. |
A little more than 36 hours after we arrived we were on our ways on seperate flights in different directions- it was a whirlwind weekend!
