I have to complete my Continuing Education credits this year, so I thought I would pick a place I could learn and have fun. Why not Las Vegas? Greg was totally on board. We haven't been on a trip together without the kids since Caleb was born. In fact we hadn't left them for more than a day before now. So we were excited but a little nervous. My mom was an awesome sport to volunteer to keep the kids during our 4day trip. The flight was long, but we were excited once we reached Vegas and saw all the lights. Greg surprised me with a Limo drive to the Bellagio hotel. The little man was holding a sign with our name on it. It was only 9pm Vegas time, but 11pm our time so we didn't do much our first night except order some room service and watch the fountain light show from our room. It was an awesome view! My conference was only in the mornings, so we had all afternoon and evenings to do what we wanted. Greg had scheduled us a couples massage after lunch the first day, and we enjoyed all the amenities they offered. We were thoroughly spoiled. Then he got us reservations at the Mix Restaurant at the Mandalay Bay hotel. Supposed to be one of the best restaurants to eat at in Vegas. Our table overlooked the Vegas Strip. What a romantic husband I have! The next day we tried out the slot machines for a while, then took a tour of Planet Hollywood, and the Mile Mall. That night we had tickets to the Cirque de Soliel at the O theatre. It was an awesome show! I was amazed with the effects and talent displayed. The stage would be water one moment, then ground the next. I had never seen anything like it. We had an awesome time in Vegas and a much needed Romantic getaway. But we were excited to be back with our babies. Unfortunately for my Mom, Lex got a cold while we were gone. She ran low grade fever and was up coughing the first 2 nights. I felt awful being so far away, but I knew she was in good hands. Mom said they did pretty good the entire weekend otherwise, but she did have her bags packed and ready when we arrived. Lol!
