As I chill on my own room & begin to make up on all of those lost ZZZ’s, here’s this lengthy little caption…
Almost from the very moment that this was all set in stone 127 days ago back on June 30, I literally waited all summer & fall all for just a precious four days of the biggest thing I look forward to… and invested time, resources & the like to prepare for it.
After all that my family has been through in the 708 days in between my eleventh & twelfth trips to this happy place in the desert, there’s a reason why Las Vegas is the perfect escape from all that’s going on in this chaotic world. And if you love this oasis as much as I do, then that’s why it meant so much for me to return once again like a reunion of a friend you’ve never seen in a while.
And after spending 64 hours on the ground in Southern Nevada, I seem to have had the perfect Vegas trip. I got to accomplish what I wanted to do and to enjoy: taking in this vibrant atmosphere of this favorite city, building on my burgeoning skills of being a well-rounded & full-time content creator, and adding a few more moments to the stories I’ll be telling all in my blog post on this trip. Not to mention, I had one of my greatest supporters in my mom by my side during all this — and had my dad been with us in person, it would’ve made this trip even more special — but he was with us in spirit.
But over the years, there’s some things just never change: that includes having to bring out an extended stick from the F***y pack in the middle of the greatest 3-mile stretch in our country, taking 10 seconds to get all prepared, and flash that smile with the Strip as the background… and in that same spot & same place outside of my family’s favorite casino. Just one exception: this one takes place during the daytime hours, but the feeling is the same as in every edition of this… and one that never gets old even as I await my birthday next month.
Here then, this very special DC Selfie from Weekend 2023 in Las Vegas, NV. And for the first time ever for all of you following this all brand new DC page, it’s in 3D… and watch this feed for more of these (& new pics) coming up here.
