Nathan and I decided that we had not had a vacation to just ourselves in almost 8 years. Our last vacation was our Cruise to Alaska and I was 11 weeks pregnant with Griffin. In celebration of our 15 year wedding anniversary coming up in June and Nathan's 38th birthday we decided to go to Las Vegas. We went last here with the boys and Nathan's parents. There was just so much to see and do that we thought coming back by ourselves would be fun. Griffin kept asking us when we were going on our "honeymoon". Boy it sure felt like it!!
We stayed the first few nights on the strip in the Aria. That place is something else!! It is a resort with in itself. We would have to walk for about six minutes to get to our room once we got off the elevator. It was a very nice hotel. Nate attempted his hand at craps the first night did not do so well.
Monday we hit the pool early, and walked around the strip. Weather was perfect. Monday night we went to see the Jabbawockez. They were amazing to watch. We were about four rows from the stage. Great show.
Tuesday we checked out of the Aria and into the Wyndam. We rented a Mustang convertible to run around the last few days in Vegas. The pools at the Wyndham are so warm and the one by our room was vacant most of the time. We took advantage of the pool all afternoon.
That night we watched the most amazing David Copperfield magic around. My mind is still blown. You can tell he has been doing it forever and he knows he knows that he is good. What a narcissist and kind of rude to be honest. But it still was an amazing show.
It was a beautiful night so we decided to cruise the strip with the top down and had a late night steak dinner at The Brand at the Monte Carlo.
On Wednesday, Nathan and I slept in and had a late breakfast. The clouds had slowly started to roll in, although there were some breaks. We decided to take a road trip through red rock canyon. When we got there the sun came out and God gave us a beautiful tour of his Canyon.
The rest of Wednesday was just a nice slow down I'm our last day of Las Vegas. We rented movies, ate ice cream, and just enjoyed each other's company.
We flew home Thursday afternoon with no problems. We sure missed our boys, but they had a wonderful time making memories with grandma Sherrill. They were so thankful to her for allowing us some alone time. It was much needed and now we won't wait so long for next time.
