Vegas, baby!

A few weeks ago during dinner, Aaron broke the news that he had to go to Vegas again for a work Conference and he'd be gone for 5 days. But in the same breath as him announcing his departure, he suggested that I fly to Vegas and join him for a few days since he'd already booked the hotel room.

Uh, yes please!




So with a lot of effort (man, I'm really important around here), I found places for our kidlets to be for 48 hours (A HUGE thank you to Rebecca, Kristen, and of course Grandma and Grandpa) and I was off for a mini vay-cay with Aaron for the first time in two years!



Course, Aaron did have to attend his conference from 8-5 each day, but that didn't stop us from partying it up each night! And I have to admit, I rather enjoyed (borderline loved) having a full day all to myself. I slept in until 9:15, took a long bath and watched The View on TV at the same time, walked to the nearest mall, was there for four straight hours and even had lunch alone and loved it! Just me, my sandwich, killer sweet potato fries, a magazine and my book...all alone in a corner booth. HEAVEN.

At night we enjoyed buffets, sites from high up places (that made my palms sweat), the lobbys of some really cool hotels and staying out until the wee hours of the morning soaking in alone time.

The last night we were there, we went to see a Cirque Du Soleil show playing at the MGM Grand called "Ka" It was amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed the show from the music, really cool and CRAZY acrobatic stunts and the fireballs that were routinely shot up into the air every few minutes throughout the show.



So thanks Aaron for working so hard at your awesome job that I know you love, thank you to your employers who wanted to send you to Vegas to get smarter, and thank you for allowing me to tag along for a bit. SO fun.
