They did that with chocolates?

The wonderful thing about Vegas is you'll always find unique and creative things to gawk at. I don't think I bought a thing at this store in the Bellagio Hotel/Casino, but the chocolate sculptures were certainly fun to look at.

Viva, Las Vegas!

Viva, viva, viva ... Las Vegas!

Chocolate fountains

And the grand dame of them all ... Lady Chocolate!

Dam it!

Yeah, I'm way behind in my blogging ... but since this is also serves as a journal, I'm back dating a few entries to catch up.

Over President's Day weekend in February, I went back to Vegas with Julie and Janeen. One of the things most definitely on my list was to go back to Hoover Dam. So, here's the dam ...

... and the new sky bridge that just opened this past Fall.

You can walk on the bridge, but didn't do it since parking was ridiculous and we were too lazy to have to climb stairs to the top to just walk across a bridge. We did drive across the bridge, but the barriers kept us from seeing anything. Oh well, maybe once the novelty of the bridge have worn off, I'll attempt walking up there for a photo op.

Stopped at a scenic stop near the dam to look at this wonderful view of Lake Mead.

Loved the sun on my face, especially since it was reported that it was snowing at home in Salt Lake on this beautiful day.

For a single gal without a true Valentine,
I'm lucky to have great friends who won't let me forget that I am loved.

Hersey Kisses from boss, Lynda

and ... even though I ate it last night without taking a picture,
Julie made me a cupcake just like in the picture
... just not with so much frosting -- the way I like it!

I feel so ♥'d! Thanks, friends!
