Grandma's 80th Birthday

Finally finishing up this topic I started...
While my Aunt & Uncle were visiting from CA for my Grandma's birthday, we all went for a big birthday dinner at Basil's. The food was wonderful and the atmosphere was very nice~no place for a 3 year old, who was with us. (Our whole family was there-so no babysitter) Actually, Mason didn't do too bad.

This was the third attempt at this photo~finally taken by Wayne.

After dinner we went back to my parent's to gorge ourselves some more with a yummy cake from Rick's Bakery.

The Birthday Girl!

My uncle sent this gorgeous arrangement~



Grandma had a great birthday and we all had fun laughing & spending time with our family!

Las Vegas Part 5~Dining

Yes, I'm STILL going with the Vegas pics! (sick of hearing about it yet? )
Here's pictures of several places we ate while there...

Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville...we visited this place frequently during the day since it was right on the Strip, it had a great casual atmosphere and a large bar with fresh margaritas (what better way to cool off?)
We had dinner here on our anniversary.

For lunch on our anniversary, we ate at Zeffirino, inside the Venetian. It's the only restaurant overlooking the Grand Canal and it was gorgeous! The food & service were amazing. (in the first pic, you can see the dark blue banner hanging down from the balcony. Our table was to the right of that) Their bathroom is in the Guinness Book of World Records for the most expensive bathroom because it's all imported from Italy.

The view from our table


My delicious Chicken Marsala & Wayne had what he refers to as "the best lasagna I've ever eaten!"
For lunch another day, we ate at the Rainforest Cafe inside the MGM Grand (Wayne is sitting at the table to the middle left)
Inside the Rainforest Cafe~great food & and very neat atmosphere. They have a "rainstorm" every 30 minutes. Our first night in Vegas~Dinner the The Grand Lux Cafe. My fresh mojito was really good!

Those were the Dining highlights...I think I'll do 1 more Vegas post then put it to rest. Part 6 coming soon.
