On The Road: Day 5 (part 2) and Day 6

Yes, we made it there alive. I apologize for the lack of posting (I blame Vegas) but also we got so wrapped up in completing the trip and then getting Will situated in San Diego that our adventures fell by the way side. Here, however, is a brief wrap up of the last days on the road…

Day 5 (part 2)
We spent the night in Vegas at the Sahara--one of the first hotels on the strip that was impressive in its heyday and has since declined pretty dramatically. However, it was cheap.

Dinner was at Strip Burger, which was running a $2 beer and $2 slider happy hour special. And I know what you're thinking, but no, all of the staff was fully clad.

From there, we proceeded to give away our money and decided that it's probably best to do Vegas at the beginning of a trip, not after 5 days of heavy driving. We went to bed embarrassingly early and neither one of us woke up married or tattooed. A poor showing indeed.

Day 6
We had brunch in Paris and had perhaps the best crepes I've had (even better than those from the real Paris I'm a little ashamed to admit). We split one with mozzarella, prosciutto and basil and another with mixed vegetables, boursin cheese, mozzarella and basil. Both were topped with a béchamel sauce that was rich but surprisingly light. Then it was off to San Diego and the end of our journey.

San Diego
All I can say, is that I now officially hate my brother. Here are select images from his new house (a 4 bedroom, 4 bath that overlooks Pacific Beach with an infinite pool, outdoor bar and kitchen and rent that makes me nauseous it's so cheap).

Oh, and did I mention that he's only 10 minutes from the beach and that the convertible's staying out there with him? Life is so unfair.
