Music Monday – “He said ‘Son, you ever been to Vegas?’ I said ‘No’/He said ‘That’s where we’re gonna go, You need a change of pace’/And when we hit the strip with all the wedding chapels and the neon signs/He said ‘I left my wallet in El Segundo’ and proceeded to take two grand of mine/We made tracks to the Mandalay Bay hotel/Asked the bell boy if he’d take me and my monkey as well?”

So glad the tour guide on this snorkeling tour didn’t actually need a bribe to make sure he didn’t drop our water camera when he swam underneath us to take this unique photo! 😉
