Garth Brooks!

We went to the final show of Garth Brooks's 9 sold out shows in Nashville! With 100% of ticket sales going to flood relief, over 5 million dollars was raised. Apart from that the Mayor came on stage to thank Garth for his efforts, and stated that because of these shows Nashville has also seen close to 15 million dollars come to the city from tourism. The show itself was one of the best things we have seen. He is a true performer, and with these shows being the first time he has played with his band in many years, you could tell he was enjoying himself as much as we were. He opened the show with Rodeo as he was raised up from under the stage through the hole that you can see in the picutre above.
We took our old camera bc we were scared our good ones wouldnt make it past security...Its not the best, but did alright

Christmas Cards

Vegas Baby, Vagas!

We had the time of our lives in lively Las Vegas! We went non-stop for 3 days, and it took its toll, but it was well worth it. We stayed at the Flemingo Hotel, right in the heart of the strip.

The first night we decided to just walk, with no plans, and no direction; just to see what we came across. On a whim, we walked into the Planet Hollywood Casino. This guy just came up to us and handed us 2 tickets to the movie premeire of "Casino Jack." We didnt want to see a movie in Vegas, but we thought maybe the movie stars would be walking the red carpet. And we were right. Just as we got to the entrance, in walks Kevin Spacey!!

Afterwards, we continued our trek on the strip and stumbled upon a movie crew shooting a scene. We got one quick shot before security told us ''NO PICTURES". Glad we got this one cause its one of our favorites!

We then went to the Belagio Hotel to watch the Fountain Show. Ocean's 11!!??

A valcano erupted outside the Mirage...

The next night we took the bus to downtown Las Vegas on Freemont Street, which ended up being one of our favorite parts of the trip. Its the old part of Vegas; like what you think of when you think of the days the city was all mobbed up. Vintage Vegas. 

Every hour they have a light show under the dome that covers the whole street! It was unreal!

We hopped on the bus back to the strip and decided to take the elevator ride up 475 feet to the tip-top of the Eiffel Tower... The best view of the city!

We reached the top just in time to catch the Belagio fountain light show!

Seth thought we should renew our vows until he realized they havent expired yet...So we just took a picture!

We also got to see the History Channel's TV show "Pawn Stars" Pawn Shop! We couldnt go in because they were filming...So we just took a picture

Our friends Cassey and Dylan came in for our last night in town... we may have had a bit too much fun!

And here are some other photos taken on our adventure!

 

An awesome trip indeed! But it is not recommended if you want a vacation to get some much needed R&R. We are still recouperating, but wouldnt change a thing!

Christmas Card and a Huntin Dog

The Wellingtons asked us to take a family photo that they could use as their Christmas Card for this year. They are an amazing family who mean so much to us. They also wanted some new shots of their families newest addition Davis Wellington.

 

Also, Seth's brother Josh wanted us to take a picture of him with his new huntin dog Chance. We went out with him as he was training him, and took a few. Here is one
