What happens in vegas..stays on my blog!

hi guys! hope everyone had a great week..i know i did!
I'm very excited to say my facebook blog page is up and running.it's also called "living in the city". Please become a fan and leave your comments for me!!I would love that!!
So now to the blog..I finally took a vacation with keith (our first real one since march 09')
Our first stop was  sin city itself..Vegas!!
We arrived there at about Midnight (and it was still 97degrees..phew!)
Our cab driver Judy (AKA Wendy Williams look a like)  was so nice and very fun with a beautiful blonde weave. She asked us about what we thought about the benefits plan(which was code for "I know you two are gay!")and was pleasantly happy to hear we were married almost 3 years now.
She spoke about how she believed it was about time for gay marriage to be recognized everywhere. Then shared with us her moonshine and shotgun upbringing and suggested we go there for a visit(i think it was S.Carolina,but I don't think we will!)She was very cool!
She dropped us off at Paris...our hotel away from home! Paris is so beautiful inside and out..and we even got their beautiful Red Room..Truly gorgeous!
Keith and I decided to toast our arrival with a glass of champagne and then go downstairs for a drink and some slot playing.(we eventually lost..but not a lot.)
The next day after about 4 hours of sleep we met up with my sister Saundra and her husband Kelley who had flown out there just to be with us!
We did some sightseeing outside(about 15 minutes worth since it was 110 degrees now) and then decided to remain indoors as much as possible!
My sister and her husband decided that they would have their vows renewed by Elvis downtown which i found very exciting to do! When we got to Graceland Wedding Chapel(which I had to gps it for our cab driver) the woman who worked the reception also spoke up on mine and Keith's marriage favorably!(we were only 999,996 people shy of a million man march now!) I told Keith it seemed like we were the ambassadors for gay marriage..which does sound like a fun job!
I missed my sister's marriage 13 years ago,so it felt great to be there and walk her down the aisle and give her away at the Vegas one!I highly suggest getting vows renewed in Vegas by Elvis!(5 Jefferson's)
Afterwards we were left in Vegas's skid row to find a cab..and there were none!
So we went to 7-eleven where the guy at the counter called us one.It was sad to see the lives people led in this area of Vegas,definately not glitzy or glamorous!
That Night we ate at Rao's with Saundra and Kelley and had a lovely birthday dinner.
Excellent food there!(5 Jefferson's)
Now it was time to really kick  into the Vegas experience! We took Saundra and Kelley to see our friend Lyssa perform in her band (Mr. $ Mrs. Smith) at Harrah's Carnival Court! Lyssa is the lead female singer with some amazing pipes on her!!
We were even on a VIP list!
Their band was amazing playing all of the big hits of today.And Lyssa was bringing the house down with her beauty and her talent!She has such amazing stage presence..she is a true performer..watch out cher!(they get a huge 5 jeffersons!)
Afterwards Keith,Lyssa and I went for a drink which turned into 3 drinks and brought us to about 5 am(now we are in vegas!)
 we decided to go to a great authentic mexican food drive-thru.We sat there at their table outside watching the sunrise while eating delicious tacos and nachos.Truly an amazing experience!(you have to try it at least once!)
Afterwards we went back to our hotel and 3 hours later I got up and had breakfast with saundra and Kelley before their flight home.(Keith slept in)
That night we had a great dinner with Keith's fun vegas family Tayla,Leslie,Auntie Pris,and were also joined by Lyssa and her super fun mom..momma B at the Rainforest Cafe in MGM Grand. Keith got a lot of great gifts but the coolest one came from Lyssa who gave us a bottle of her wine(She is on the label doing a very cool 50's lingerie " pin up girl" pose).
Not many people can say their friend is on a bottle of wine...but we can!That's one off the bucket list!
Later that night we went to have a drink with our friend michelle's sister ,Dana and their mother Barb at our hotel(they were just starting their vacation.)we hardly get to see them,so we were glad we could!they are so sweet!
Now that we had our vegas fun (and 11 hours of sleep in 3 days!) it was off to Disneyland,California!
And we had the pleasure of having Lyssa and Momma B. come with us!
It was a very cool drive...nothing but desert but really amazing to see!(you just don't want your car to break down!)
After we checked into our lovely hotel(The Ayres Hotel..highly recommend it!)we headed over to Disneyland and had a blast!
 Having Lyssa there made it more enjoyable for me since she is as crazy about Disney as Keith!And Momma B. really added a lot of fun to the experience!Probably my best day at any Disney park!I highly suggest bringing them on your disney vacation!
We had an amazing dinner at "The Blue Bayou" which is inside the pirates of the caribean ride! amazing food(I had Gumbo(2 cups) and delicious crab cakes!)and our waitress amanda was so great!(5 jefferson's)
And then we rode space mountain and Thunder mountain at night...the best way to do it!It felt like we were kids again and had no cares in the world!!
At the hotel afterwards we tried very hard to stay awake and one glass of Lyssa's delicious wine!only Lyssa and I made it!the others passed out before they could!
The next day i finally slept in(yay!) and said goodbye to Lyssa and momma B.(which was sad!) and met Keith back at Disney( he got there at 9 am!)
We had a great day together at California Adventures(their other park) The california scream roller coaster is so fun!And I love my Tower of Terror!
Later we had dinner at Wine Vineyards Trattoria inside california adventures.Amazing food and wine..and really cute cocktails with colored iced cubes!
(definately 5 Jeffersons!)
After a nice nights sleep it was back home to NYC  with our beautiful girls Zsa ZSa And Eva waiting eagerly!(who survived thanks to our friend David's great care!)
.But first we met the 3 stooges(or should i say 3 flight attendants)on our flight home, they were really bad!!Like reality show bad!
This was such an amazing vacation with Keith and all of our friends and family!
I'm very excited since next week my nephew Dylan is coming to visit us for the week here in New York!So I'll see you all in two weeks with a blog of all of our adventures together!
