Dinner with Megan

I left you last night as Megan and her parents arrived for dinner. We ate at "The Buffet" at the Bellagio and it was indeed a buffet to be reckoned with. From sushi, to steak, to tofu salad, to jumbo shrimp, this buffet had it all!

As we arrived and toured the lobby and casino floor on our way to dinner, it became quickly known by pit bosses and passerby alike, this was no ordinary woman touring the floor. No ordinary woman brings a train of people and one photographer. No, this was someone extraordinary, and they knew it, or quickly asserted that fact.

Dinner was nice, chatting about the packed schedule of events while in California, the arrival in Vegas, upcoming competitions and her recent recovery from a brief bout of bronchitis. I talked with Megan about her feelings about pageant week so far and what message she would like to share with those at home. This is what she said:

“I am really excited. Because, its like a story... Because you’ve read a little about it... you think you know the ending, but you don’t know what lies between.”

No doubt this speaks to Megan’s will, regardless of Saturday’s outcome, to continue to be a stellar role model for the women of our fine state, and our country. I am sure we all share the same vision of how this story, doesn’t end, but takes off in these next few days, into full flight.

These photos are of Megan and Dianna Baitinger, Miss Connecticut. Megan and Dianna flew to California together and are roommates while in Vegas.

It was a fun dinner that ended too soon!
