Vegas

Here's a quick recap of our first weekend away from the kids.

First day:

Checked in and ate breakfast.

Took a three hour nap.

Walked around the new A.ria and V.dara hotels.

Went to the chocolate fountain and botanical gardens at the B.ellagio. 

Took a bath.

Went out to dinner.

Stayed up until midnight playing Craps, our new favorite casino game.

Second day:

Slept in.

Watched a movie in bed.  (The B.lind S.ide -- good flick.)

Got a facial.  I'm not usually a spa-goer, but dh insisted.  And I'm very glad he did!  I mean, who wouldn't want to relax on a lounge chair next to this?

Went to a late dinner (at a Russian restaurant where I got a steak and dh got lobster fettuccine - hmmmm?) and then played our new favorite game for another 4+ hours.

Third day:

Woke up early.  No idea why since we didn't go to bed until past 1 am.

Had the following conversation: 

Me:  I had fun, but I'm ready to be home.

Dh:  We'll be home soon.  I'm hungry, let's go eat.

Me:  Maybe we can catch an earlier flight?

Dh:  Remember, you already had me ask at PDX before we even left.  And yesterday you had me check online.

Me:  I remember.  But maybe we should check again. 

We actually did catch a semi earlier flight but had to transfer planes in Sacramento.  It's a good thing we did though, because our original flight took off 2 hours late.  I can only imagine the tantrum I would have been having.

Once we finally found our way out of the new long-term parking structure at PDX (a slightly embarrassing but funny story) and drove home, we were greeted by this.

Best part of the trip: Coming home!  

Second best part: Being able to reconnect and spend some much needed time with my hubby!
