Vegas day 2-3

The second day in Vegas we woke up and decided to go to a French restaurant for brunch.  Jess and Dawson found it because it was gluten free.  Jess recently found out she can't tolerate gluten and so this resturant was a gem for her! The food was GREAT! I had smoked salmon eggs benedict and Justin had a fantastic quiche.  It was more than we would usually spend but was totally worth it! We decided this would be a trip we would spoil ourselves a little.

The rest of the day was spent wandering around the Venetian hotel, and the Paris hotel.  

I

They are just amazing, Vegas's commitment to theme is great! After we got back to the hotel I had to rush to my first scholarship event and Jess and Dawson had to make their way home. It was soo good to see them and we can't wait to see them for the wedding! 

 I guess I didn't mention that we got to go to Vegas for a conference -western veterinary conference - and I received a scholarship called the food animal incentive award for showing early career involvement in the food animal industry.  It was an honor receive the award and it allowed me to go to this great conference for free.  The first event was just a quick briefing and we got to meet all the board of directors.  I got to see Christie our old intern who is now at UC Davis.

 I have missed her so much so that was amazing. After the briefing Justin got to meet up with me and we went for a reception with heavy appetizers and cocktails.  The event that night was a comedy show.  I had never heard of the guy but he was on America's got talent. It was actually very good! Christie has a cousin that works in Vegas and she was able to get us tickets to cirque de soleis "O". It was such a treat.  

It is water themed and was amazing. The stage raised and lowered and the people appeared from below the water. Such a cool experience!

The third day was full of conference activities. I went to talks starting at 8am and Justin then met us for lunch.  The afternoon was spent with more talks and some that Justin even sat in with me for Online Marketing. He is such a good fiance....ready to help with my business when we move home!  We also spent some time walking around the exhibit hall. It is still interesting to note that when we walk around they look at Justin first expecting him to be the vet- then they realize that I am and he is my guest. It's a changing world people!  That night we walked the length of the strip to get to Maggianos.  We had a coupon for dinner. I LOVE that restaurant.  We had a great time looking at everything and then walking off our meal by walking all the way back down the strip.
