K and I had a very low-key New Year's. I didn't have work on New Year's Eve so we went and crossed off one of the items on our Las Vegas Bucket List: "CSI: The Experience" at the MGM. I'm not a huge fan of the show, but K likes it and had been wanting to go to "The Experience" for a few weeks. We went early in the day so we could get out of downtown before things started to get crazy and the roadblocks went up. Once you get inside, they give you a couple of different scenarios and you pick which one you want to "solve". Then you go to a simulated crime scene (don't worry, it isn't scary) where you take your notes. After that, you go through a few different stations where you do "lab work" and then present your findings to the CSI Supervisor (the main guy from the show) via computer, and if you solved the crime correctly, you win! You don't actually win anything, but we did get diplomas stating we are now "Rookie Crime Scene Investigators" according to the MGM. Hooray! We had a lot of fun (and got free t-shirts) so if anyone visits Vegas and wants some fun not involving alcohol and clubs, I would suggest checking it out.
Later that night we went to dinner at Texas de Brazil, an amazing Brazilian-style steakhouse, and then counted down to the New Year at a friend's house. Our first day of 2011 was spent hanging around the house, making a Starbucks run, watching movies, and some Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner. It was a successfully lazy day, which is exactly what we were going for.
We took our final picture of 2010 at dinner:
And our first picture of 2011 just after midnight:
Happy New Year!!
