Saturday - Registration Day
Well today we got up early after a fantastic night's sleep and we headed out in our little vibe to explore the desert around vegas. We threw the GPS system on and ended up at Hoover Dam. We skipped the dam tour but brought our cameras to shoot some photos. I won't post too many here, but they will be show eventually (I promise!)
After that we went for a little scenic hike to check out some view of lake Meade. It was a hot sunny day with beautiful clear blue skies. A perfect day for a walk in the desert! We found some cute lizards and chipmunks and birds, and of course we snapped a few shots :)
When our desert trip ended we headed back down to the famous Las Vegas Strip to register for the WPPI convention at Bally's. Afterall, that IS what we came here for ;O) It was a bit of a gong show finding the registartion room as they don't like to label things very well in the WPPI organization, lol, But after we grabbed our convention gear and passes we felt official. There are a TON of photographers here and everyone in Bally's and Paris seemed to be wearing the nifty blue name tag lanyards.
Bally's is across the street from the Flamingo, which just happens to be where we got married, so we headed over there to visit our wedding site. Upon poking my head into the indoor chapel to be nosey, I saw the minister tha married us standing there behind the counter! LOL. I asked him to come outside and take a photo with us and explained to him that he married us 5 years ago, he was super friendly (just as I remembered him) and he gladly popped outside for a photo! I only had my 20D on me so I threw it into autopilot mode and grabbed the nearest stranger, instructed her to just point the camera and push the button and away we went! Not the best photo, but still a great snapshot of a very cool moment for us!
