Mike and I had the opportunity to get away for a couple of days with Mike's mom to go to fabulous Las Vegas! The trip started off Thursday morning. We left Houston Intercontintal early Thursday morning. We had fun going into the President's Club at the airport for breakfast and looking completely out of place in there. The flight there was great...not bumpy and on-time. What more could you ask for!? We arrived into Las Vegas around 10:30am local time and had the coolest cabbie ever from the airport to the hotel. He was from Scotland and was absolutely hilarious. This put me at ease because I hate taking cabs. We stayed at the beautiful Bellagio hotel. We checked in and went to the Conceirge Desk to get ticket's to see the show "O". We quickly found out that there were no 3 seats together, but with a little pushing and a phone call we finally were able to purchase three together. They were literally the best seats in the house, after all they were the Producer's Seats! The show was truly awesome. Unfortunately, we went to the 10:30pm show, which was 12:30am our time and we had been up for almost 24 hours straight. We were exhausted and so ready for bed at the end of the show! Mike and I also went up into the Stratosphere one night...that was so cool! I love being up that high and being able to see everything. I certainly was not crazy enough to ride any of the rides up there though. We also did alot of shopping while we were there. Sue and I stocked up on some holiday decorations and Halloween goodies for Braden. I think my favorite place was New York New York and I loved JP Chocolates located in the hotel...they had the best crapes!! The biggest bummer of the trip is that Mike and I took a camera with a full memory card!! (OK, no wait...the biggest bummer is we never got to go to In N Out. So sad!!) So, we were only able to take a few pics with the iPhone. When we got back from our trip, we were so excited to see Braden...he stayed with Grandma Carol and Grandpa Joe. He was like a different little boy when we got back....in just 4 days he had changed. It's amazing. Well, that's it about the trip. We had a great time and enjoy the couple of pics!
What Happens in Vegas Doesn't Always Stay in Vegas....Mike actually drank a Martini!
