Vegas Baby!

Dan & I got to take our VERY FIRST vacation together - that right FIRST {in nearly 13 years of marriage}! We went to Las Vegas for a long weekend with our friends Ethan & Jen. We had so much fun! We found these amazing flights on (nickel & dime you to death) Allegiant Air. The cost of the flight was like $40.00 round trip - per person. However, our hour flight was delayed a hour and a half....But good news! The captain announced during the flight that he had "found a shortcut" to Las Vegas! hahaha!

I had to send Livy a good night, I love you picture and this was it!

We stayed at Bally's. The hotel was mediocre but it is connected to Paris which was SO FUN! We had lots of fun lounging by the pool watching all the men peacocking around.

 We did get to go see Phantom of the Opera at the Venetian. This was not the first time I have seem Phantom, but it was AMAZING! This stage was specially built for Phantom and it was wonderful. I have never seen anyhing like it. If you can get to Vegas in the next month or two go see it! I think it ends its run in September.

We had amazingly close seats, we were in the 9th row - center! I could have touched the chandelier with the top of my head if I had better posture when it came crashing down! Amazing.

Did I mention we hung around at the pool?? Ya.. its cheap and relaxing.

I WON! I had no intentions of gambling while in Vegas but Dan and I were waiting around for Ethan & Jen in the casino one afternoon and so I decided to take the $2.40 I had in my purse and put it into a penny slot! Just when I was down to my last .20 cents I won!! I imediately cashed out! To stressful. Then we went out to eat with my "earnings".

Finally, we were on our way home! Yay! We had so much fun, but we sure missed the kids.
