Vegas '07 In Pictures

Here's a breakdown of our Vegas Vacation....


We stopped at the Mad Greek in Baker, CA on the recommendation of Guy from Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives



Unfortunately it wasn't all it was cracked up to be oh well...



Food is a big part of our lives and our vacation was definitely a reflection of this fact. We ventured off the strip, and thanks to Sarah and Jeremiah's awesome research we found some very delicious places to visit. One of them being Jamm's, where we had one of the best breakfasts that I've ever had. Here is my Sandy Omlette which had bacon, avocado, a TON of cheese and some sour cream, with a side of Pot of Bread, Home Fries and coffee of course.



Me with a lightsaber



On Wednesday evening our food journey took us to Rosemary's, a place Saramiah had visited on our last trip to Vegas in '05 and it did not disappoint. Pictured are the remains of my entree of Apple Bacon crusted Salmon.

We left Rosemary's oh so satisfied and a little dizzy....so...much...good...food...


An outside view of our hotel The Paris.



Us at the gardens in Bellaggio



We visited two buffets this year, yeah, we don't mess around. The first was the buffet at Sam's Town, also off the strip, also another Food Network recommendation. Rachel Ray visited here one time on $40 a Day (a mantra we definitely did not follow) this place was a great deal though with a lunch buffet for only $7.99! AND we parked next to a sign that had their employees of the month; behold Ellen


I kept wanting to take pics of the food before we ate, but I kept forgetting, so those were the remains....


A mantra we did try to stick by was "never go outdoors". So many of the casinos and hotels are interconnected which is awesome....however we did have a little walking excursion, which was hot, but we had the HONOR of passing by a Seigfried and Roy tribute


In the car...



Le Burger Brasserie was our next stop on our food tour. I had a lamb burger with mushrooms, some sauce stuff and fresh buffalo mozzarella mmmm....again, only the after pic, not even of the food! just the sign...


Here's Bran when we went to Napoleans, it's a lounge where these two guys play requests all night, we had a good time


Sadly our last day came, our view from the hotel


Again, it was a great get away we're sad another vacation has gone by

saying goodbye

Once again this post comes from the backseat of the Belts car but this time we're on our way back home and we're oh so sad about it. We had a really great time...I put a dollar into a penny slot machine last night (thanks Bran) and walked away with $50.90! It was fun and surprising. So today at the Las Vegas Premium Outlets I was able to get this sweet jacket from French Connection, so that was cool.

All I'm seeing is road in front of me which is quite depressing, so I think I'm gonna watch some Planet Earth.

Watch for a Vegas recap in pictures coming soon.

Oh yeah and Fergie's song "Big Girls Dont Cry" was our official Vegas '07 anthem. I think our final count of times we heard it was 7.

Vegas baby!

This post is brought to you straight from the backseat of the Belts car, on our way to Las Vegas! We've been planning this trip seriously since January and we couldn't be more excited. Just getting away, relaxing, eating out a ton, and hanging out enjoying being away from our jobs.

Alright starting to get carsick so I'll update later when we're stationary.

Oh! And last night I finished Harry Potter and it was very very awesome! More to come later...

Music in 07: Keep 'em Coming!

07 has been an awesome year for new music....and it's only halfway over! That means a bunch of my favorite artists are still lined up to release new material by the years end.


Here's a list of new music still coming our way:


-Rascal Flatts Sept 25, or Fall

-Carrie Underwood Oct. 23

-Alicia Keys Oct 23

-The Afters Dec 25

-Junior Senior Jul 31

-Gnarls Barkley

-Jimmy Eat World Sept

-McFly Greatest Hits Oct

-Saves The Day, Fall

Only time will tell how firm some of these release dates are, or if all of them will even make it out by the years end, but needless to say 07 looks like it can only get better...

iPhone madness

Yes folks its happened. Those who know me well know that ever since Apple teased us back in January about the iPhone its the piece of technology I've been dreaming of owning. On Thursday July 12 my life changed. I am now an owner of the best toy a grown up could ever want. Yes its awesome. Yes the keyboard takes some getting used too. There's no flash support in Safari or a video camera, but who cares? Its sweet. And its killing my thumbs at the moment because this post is brought to you directly from my iPhone. Crazy!

In other goings on Bran and i were joined by good friends Brianandheather and Geneandkelly in seeing the new Harry Potter movie, it was my second favorite one (behind prisoner of azkaban). Now I cannot wait until the moment this Saturday when the UPS man arrives with my copy of the final Potter chapter. Its gonna be intense! Looking forward to it....

im outta here take care everyone
