Well, we're back, but not into the swing of things yet. I kept thinking that yesterday was Friday because Thursday and Friday ran together due to our late night flight home. We left Las Vegas at 11pm and flew into Hartsfield at 6am, that includes time changes. All together it was a four hour flight and I slept all but 45 minutes of it.

We walked in the door at 8am and we slept. We woke up at 1pm, ordered pizza and then slept until nearly 6pm. My sister called, made sure we were home and asked us to come pick up Reagan and Icarus. We brought them home and relaxed a bit and watched the Comedy Central Roast of Bob Saget. I was back in bed around 12:30am. I don't think Amanda went to be until 4am. She was uploading pictures on Flickr.

Anyway, Las Vegas was fun. We got there around 10am, but we couldn't check in for a while. We checked our luggage and ate lunch in the hotel. By the way, the ceilings in the Paris (obviously French themed) are painted like the sky and the stores have these neat facades. The hotel also has a replica Eiffel Tower out front.

After eating, we caught a cab and headed to city hall. They have this all setup very orderly. This place is open until 12am. It took maybe five minutes. We were a ways from our hotel, but we were just a couple blocks away from Fremont Street. We picked up some discount tickets to LaCage, a drag show at the Riviera. It was a buy one, get one free. Thank God they had that too. It was a $75 dollar show (per person). Parts of it were funny, most of it was lame. Amanda enjoyed it though and that's what counts.

Monday was our wedding day. We were up by 8am. She went to the lobby and bought us crepes. We left around 11:30am. The Deuce takes forever to get you places and the chapel, the Little Chapel of the Flowers, was just past the end of the Strip. Some of you saw the ceremony. Some of your sent me e-mails or text messages saying that I looked nervous. I was not at all nervous, though maybe a little anxious.

We initially were going to have a civil ceremony. The pastor, Dean was his first name, asked us about our church background. I explained my issues with the church, and he understood and was very cool about it. We ended up including the reading of 1 Corinthians 13 and prayer at the end, which I felt was important.

We headed back to the Strip after the ceremony. We had reservations at Pampas (very similar to Fogo de Chao) in the Miracle Mile at Planet Hollywood. Very good food and well worth the price. I played the slots in the evening and won around $240We walked the Strip up to the New York New York for the rest of the night.

We did a lot of walking on Tuesday. We started with breakfast at Planet Hollywood, which was next door to the Paris. We check out some of the stores in Bally's and Paris. We picked up our pictures from the wedding (I'll post those soon). We caught Stomp Out Loud at Planet Hollywood, which was very cool. Somewhere in all of this, I won another $80 on slots.

Wednesday was another day of riding the Deuce and walking. We went to Madame Tussauds Wax Museum at the The Venetian. We took a ton of pictures there. Our package from Madame Tussauds included lunch and a gondola ride.

Amanda wanted to check out the animal exhibits at The Mirage. We have a ton of pictures of the tigers, lions and dolphins on Flickr. We made our way back to our hotel and got ready for Penn & Teller.

Our hotel offered a free shuttle to the Rio, where Penn & Teller do their show, but the line was too long. We just took a cab. We got dinner at the Rio and headed to the show. As most of you know, I am a big fan of these guys. I wasn't let down. The show was great, probably the best show we saw. I spent way too much money in their store and got my picture made with them.

I got an e-mail from Dave Weigel while we were at Madame Tussauds. Dave is one of the writers for Reason magazine and he was in town to interview Wayne Root, part of the LP ticket. He was about to fly into Vegas and wanted to get together. We ended up meeting for a beer late in the evening on Wednesday. Both of us agreed that Las Vegas is the town that best personifies libertarianism. We thought it was great.

Thursday was our last day. We started off by having a breakfast at the Paris and then heading up the Strip to Bonanza. We bought gifts for friends and family and ended up having to lug the damn bag around the rest of the day. Amanda wanted to see Excalibur and the Luxor. After spending a couple hours at those hotels, we headed over to the MGM Grand and checked out the lion exhibit. We had dinner at the Rainforest Cafe. We dropped $100 there, including tip. That is the most I've ever spent on a meal. It was worth it.

We caught the Deuce back to the Paris and hung out for a bit and eventually headed to the airport.

We had a great time and we didn't want to leave. You can see our pictures here. We are talking about going back for our anniversary next year.

Thank you all for the comments and e-mails.
