Las Vegas

Don was asked by USA Basketball to help with a filming project in Las Vegas so we spent Sunday through Wednesday enjoying (Don working, meeting, filming) Vegas.  The Wynn was the hotel where USA put us which we love!  Sunday night we went to our favorite Cirque du Soleil - O.  Sitting on the third row put us up close to the swimming, diving, and acrobatic show.  It is amazing.  Monday night we had to cancel Motown as Don was involved with the filming later than expected, but we did enjoy a wonderful later dinner at the Wynn's Lakeside complete with steaks and lobster.

We spent Saturday night at the Kahlers to be
ready for a Sunday 6 AM flight to Vegas

USA reunion time - it's always great to see everyone.

Did he win big?  NO, but it was fun.

Berry martini - cheers!

Tuesday Don went to the practice (younger NBA guys here for mini camp to prepare for next summer's competition).  Wednesday I went to practice to see some of our favorite U16/U17 players who are now playing in the NBA.
