Jay and Mare’s trip to Las Vegas, May 2007

In May 2007 my girlfriend Mare and I met my very good friend (and ex) Tigris in Las Vegas. (Tigris lives in Hawai‘i, and had already planned a trip to Vegas to meet her dad, who lives in Connecticut. Vegas is a relatively inexpensive destination for both of them.)

We had a very good time! If you don’t gamble, or don’t gamble much, it’s a cheap vacation. I think we may be turning this into an annual thing.

The camera is a Canon PowerShot S410.
