They don't call it March Maddness of nothing.

Last weekend I kidnapped my niece and met up with my parents in Vegas. I really only had two goals while there. #1 sit by the pool and soak up some rays and #2 go watch the Y beat up on some unsuspecting team. Honestly that doesn't sound like too much to ask for of a short weekend does it? Well unfortunately, neither of them came to pass. The pool was closed for cleaning and the Y lost to San Diego, yes, I said San Diego. Thus the Mad part of March Maddness enters the picture. How can you lose to people you've already beaten this season? Annoying! Oh well, I got over the lose pretty quick and the rest of our time there was pretty fun. My niece and I had a blast driving down and hanging out with my parents. And despite the Coogs losing their game, we had a great time cheering them on! Our seats were almost to the top of the arena so we had a great view of the court :) and we had a bunch of really fun Y students sitting in front of us. It was fun. Just being in Vegas is a blast. I love that place! Take away the prostitution, people drinking until they pass out and Strip Clubs and you have a pretty fun place. :) How can you not like a place where they have ton's of food for really cheap? The buffet at the Sunset Station Casino was loaded and delicious! I didn't stuff myself so I'll call the eating part of the trip a success. :)

The Cougars got an 8th seed in the playoffs and they'll play Texas A&M in the first round. I'm completely positive we'll win that one. We might have a little bit harder time in the second round but I'm sure we can pull that one off too. Who the heck is UCON anyway? I'm sure we'll cream them...right? :) A girl can dream.

I'm glad you had a good time. Vegas is great when it is cold at home. Sorry about the Y.
