A Photo A Day

My 8-week sabbatical, told through a photo a day.

Day 52 at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas

Oct 10

The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas

Wrapped up the trip with the best center-strip brunch at STK's amazing all-you-can-eat table service, where I made another new friend. Got in some final gambling before catching an early flight home to beat the incoming storm.

Day 51 on Fremont Street

Oct 9

Fremont Street

The busiest Vegas day yet, centered around the Vegas Pride Parade on Fremont Street. Started with an early lunch at Javier's, chilled at the Reserve Pool, and finally checked out the Golden Tiki during happy hour, which was a trip! Left the parade early to watch the Valkyries sweep the Aces at the El Cortez Sportsbook!

Day 50 at Park MGM

Oct 8

Park MGM

Arrived for my final solo Vegas trip of the sabbatical. Had dinner at Bavette's before the mind-bending Magician's Study show. Highly recommend both! Hung at the Park MGM bar well into the next day chatting with newfound friends.

Day 49 at Chase Center

Oct 7

Chase Center

Kicked off an electric night with dinner at Miller & Lux before Wendy and I headed into Chase Center. We scored incredible tickets to watch the Valkyries take on the Las Vegas Aces for our first-ever live playoff game!

Day 48 at Aquatic Park

Oct 6

Aquatic Park

A beautiful San Francisco day! I spent the morning tackling logistics, but once the afternoon hit, I headed to Aquatic Park to take the pack raft out on the water. I wrapped up the day by hitting a local restaurant with Wendy for dinner.
