Trip to Las Vegas

Well, we finally made it to the end of the Weapon's School. It has been a long six months and then at the same time it feels as though it has flown by. Ruth and I flew out to Las Vegas from South Carolina on Friday, for a whirlwind trip, leaving on Sunday. We stayed at the Flamingo hotel, so we got to check out casino and some of the other nearby hotels and casinos while we were here.

 

Here we are in front of the Venetian.

Sarah, Isaiah's sister, and Jud arrived in Vegas for their own vacation within 30 minutes of Ruth and I getting in. We all met up to hang out for a while. This was the first time Miss Ruth got to meet her Aunt and Uncle.

We met several of the other people from Isaiah's class and their family at a German biergarten - the Hauf Brau House. The food was great, and they had the traditional German band.

Here we are in the hotel before going to graduation. One of my good friends from Wichita, graciously agreed to keep Ruth while we were at the event.

Here's Isaiah's class and their spouses. We were being silly since the guys kept their mustaches the whole class. They just shaved them off on Thursday at Patch night.
