Well, Matt and I are back home from our week long vacation in Vegas. It was so much fun! This is the first "date" we have had together in like 2 and a half years. Now some of you may be thinking yeah right! It is totally true, we have not so much as went to the grocery store alone without kids in that long. It was a long needed getaway for both of us. Weird how you can be busy non-stop all day and still feel like you relaxed. We got to Vegas pretty early and right away had to put on shorts and t-shirts because it was in the 80's. Soooo nice!! Here is the strip at night, Yes, I know it is blurry and out of focus, but that is true of Vegas, it never sleeps and never holds still.
The first part of the week we spent in the heart of the strip at the Excalibur. This is one of only 2 photos of us together (scary to ask weird people to take you picture so we took it our self).
The first couple of days we spent seeing everything!! We walked and walked and walked!!! I have to say the Paris casino is my favorite. Matt could not resist as we were there telling me "See I told you I would take you to Paris one day...here we are!!"
Matt's favorite (I think, he kept changing his mind) the New York casino. It is pretty spectacular, I love the statue of liberty.
Another favorite is Treasure Island, we never did make it there at the right time to see the show they put on. I heard it is good though.
While shopping in Cesar's we saw this lifelike of Yoda, I had to take a picture for Chase to tell him we saw Yoda..he thought that was awesome!!!
One of the funnest things we did there was seeing the Mentalist (he is pretty famous, been on all kinds of shows). No, I did not ask to go on stage but somehow got picked anyway. Here is Matt's best photography of me on stage....
After the show we got a better picture.
The last night before we went home we went down to Fremont Street and watched the light show they have there. It is really cool, they play music and have this like mile long dome above all the shops there that has different light shows.
We really had the best time, laughed alot together and just fell more in love with each other. It was funny as we pulled into the driveway of our house Matt looked at me and said "See ya again in 2 years".
Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for making it all possible, Chase is missing you already!

Wow, It looks like it was a great trip. Glad you guys we're able to take it. Really you should get away on a date at least every two years. NOT, you need to get away more than that you two, just to keep your sanity.
How fun! I bet it was nice to get away just the 2 of you!
Welcome home! I'm so glad you had a great time. We missed you here but I'm glad you and Matt and a great time together without kids.
Looks like you guys had a good time. I couldnt remember when you were going so I kept checking your blog. I got tired of reading about your hair dryer. I'm glad that there are a few new posts for me to read. What is the mentalist? Can he read your mind or something? Anyway, glad you are back from your well deserved break. Talk to ya!
