Tony Hawk

As a lot of you know I am a dental hygienist and the dentist that I work for always does something really nice for us girls around Christmas time. Last year he sent us to the Green Valley Ranch spa for the day and a nice dinner at Hanks steak house. This year he included me in the festivities even though I am still on maternity leave, I was so excited. He took us to dinner and this restaurant called Fukuda where they make Japanese food on the grill at your table. Then after dinner he took us to see the show at the Mirage called LOVE. LOVE, Cirque du Soleil celebrates the musical legacy of The Beatles through their timeless, original recordings. It was an amazing show, we all had a very good time. Here is the pretty cool part about my night though. We were standing in line before the show and I looked behind me and I saw Tony Hawk, well I thought it was him but I wasn't sure. So Chaz, my coworker and I talked Ruth the other Hygienist I work with to go ask him if he was indeed Tony Hawk and sure enough he was. So we took a picture with him, and of course my eyes are closed in the picture. He was really nice and laid back, he had quite a bit of gray hair too, crazy! Joey said he is like 40+ years. So, that was my eventful evening, pretty cool huh?

oh....lucky. I'm such a HUGE fan of Tony Hawk. He became famous when I was in Jr. High. He's an awesome skateboarder.
