I couldn't be more thrilled about my most recent purchase....a digital camera with an LCD screen on BOTH sides! I've always been a fan of the self portrait and recently, that's all Will and I have taken when we get together and have a camera in hand. I don't know how many self shots I've butchered by cutting of his head or missing the key element in the background, etc. This is sure to make all our self portraits one hit wonders. Why didn't anyone think of this sooner?! It is the most genius idea I've ever seen (except of course for all the creative inventions that Katie B. Nauman and I plan to develop and launch). The next blog post is sure to be filled with picture perfect self portraits - just you wait!

Dating around the world continues with a trip to Las Vegas over superbowl weekend. It wouldn't be complete without some travel dilemmas and thanks to Snowpocolypse 2010 on the east coast, we were forced to pull out the back up plan to the back up plan. Good thing Will always has some of those up his sleeve. I nearly missed my Friday morning flight out of D.C. and literally made it to the gate within seconds of departure. The flight was actually delayed 10 minutes which was my saving grace. But, because I was so late to board, they had given my seat in the back of the plane to another passenger, forcing me to endure an upgraded economy plus seat for the first leg to Denver. Flights on the way home were cancelled due to weather and I nearly got stuck in another storm in Charlottesville Tuesday, but managed to thwart the jet stream just long enough to get home. Not that being stuck in Vegas would have been such a bad thing! Anyway, we had an incredible weekend and even got to revisit a few of our favorite Paris landmarks.

The Eiffel Tower, Vegas style by day
And by night

Gondalas in Venice - The closest I got a few weeks ago was the Venice Airport
They really sing as they paddle

We stayed at the NY NY - just like the real skyline. It was incredible.

Spent a night dancing at Tryst
At the fountain in front of the Paris hotel

Dancing the night away
