Tommie,
I am at work today. I just want to tell you that we had the best time and I thank you so very much. Your grandparents were like two little children who were seeing things they had never seen before and your Granddaddy wants to come back next year to visit you.
The trip was exciting for start to end. The airport was a breeze in Atlanta, we even checked in and got our boarding passes without your dad being present.
When we got to Vegas we took a taxi van and we were dropped off at the Paris valet. The bellman took our luggage to the room. When we stepped we were in the center of the casino bells and whistles of the winners were going off. Once we got out of the casino the lobby was dripping with pure elegance, chandeliers, rich silks and satins. The check-in was a snap with the chasseurs were very nice. She told us that she was putting us in the Parlor Suite on 30th floor. We took the elevator up and were looking for the room down the hallway when your dad spotted the door to the room in the center of the atrium.
Behind those large Parisian French doors was an 800 sq. ft room with the most expensive furniture, two large beds, an armoire chest with the television sitting in the middle of the floor. The TV was on a revolving platform that you could move from living room to bedroom. We had a wet bar with a liquor wine cabinet, refrigerator lots of flowers two large bathrooms one with a Jacuzzi and the other with a steam room shower.
But most impressive of all we had the view on 30th floor you could see the entire city of Vegas and beyond at night all you can say is aaaah.
The Grand Tour to The Hoover Dam, Lake Mead and the Grand Canyon was excellent. When we returned to the Hotel the all you can eat buffet was the bomb if I am allowed to say that, yum, yum from the lobster to the steak and all things between.
When we prepared to leave the bellman delivered our luggage and got us a cab, which cost us $10.00.
Then we got to Phoenix got a rental car and took off to your place. We made a wrong turn but corrected it right away. Your home is so lovely and it makes you feel like you are on a vacation, everything around your home the community is so clean and beautiful when we decide to change homes I would like to have a floor plan like yours.
The ponds are great and the ducks on the pond are really nice to look at it makes you slow down and the catnaps just comes. Your Dad went back to work on yesterday and he called me and thanked me for making him go because he said he really had a relaxing time and that he truly needed the get-a-way.
Dinner with our family friends was really good. The lady of the house is a good cook and a nice hostess. Her Sister was fun and her nieces were very nice. I picture the entire family as intellectual people. The Man of the house and your Dad both like 24. Your Dad said he and the Man of the house could be good friends because of the same movies and books.
Our family friends had a big black dog, he scared your Grandmother and she remained frighten until we left, we would have stayed longer but I could tell Grandma was a little uncomfortable. However once being there I realized the dog was harmless at least the big one. The little one was the one to watch.
Oh! at the airport we were pulled from the line, they said someone in the traveling party was a security risk. One of the skycaps told us that who ever it was would be in the FBI list for life unless we did something to remove our name so I tell you this just in case you might get tied up with the name since you are in Iraq.
Your Granddaddy told us after we got back home that he had a knife in his suit case and he traveled back and forth with that knife without telling us. I told him he but us all at risk of ruining our vacation and even wrote them a letter telling them no knives, sharp finger nail filer, brass knucks, mase, bullets or guns.
We love you Tommie and your text message made your Dad and I tear up at the airport, tears of joy. So everything you did when you were growing up that was bad you made up with the vacation.
Also your Dad said you cannot spend any more of your money like you did on this trip for us what you have done he said will last him a lifetime.
Again, thank you and your grandparents couldn't stop saying thank you so from them to you Thank You very much.
I love you
P.S. It took me this long to get this message to you I had a meeting and at least 12 people have interrupted me while I was trying to send this message to you.

Guess what Mom, I love you too.
You know it's funny, my folks are talking like this was a lot of money but for what they did it was really a cheap trip. I mean the money as far as that was concerned had no value to me. I just wanted my folks to have a good time. Them having a good time without stressing over this and that was what had value the way I see it.
I know I was calling them or texting them all the time checking to see if they made it in or if they were ok or if they needed anything. I mean for me it was really important that everything when off without a hitch. They spent my whole life taking care of me I wanted to do the same for once.
P.S. Yes, Mom you can use the word bomb. I pefer the word shizzle but, for you bomb will work just fine.
P.P.S Dad can't tell me what to do anymore.

This was a wonderful thing you did for your parents and grandparents. I think I told you that when you initially mentioned your plans for this trip. Wow...I mean, I don't know what else to say. You are truly a wonderful son. I know they will never forget that. *heart melting*

Here here!! Job well done Tommie Boy. They sounded like they had a ball! I bet you were so wrapped that it went like it did.
That was a wonderful thing you did Tommie. Ten bright stars to you!
But isn't the feeling you get just wonderful when you see the joy that you have caused in the ones you love - THAT is worth more than all the money in the world!
