Viva Las Vegas

After five long years, Las Vegas and I finally met again.  Last time I went with Cora for our first girlfriend getaway when Lydia was only 8 months old, this time I got to go with just my hubby...no kids!  We arrived Saturday afternoon, got situated in our complimentary upgraded room, and headed to dinner at Planet Hollywood.  This would be the first of four buffets within 24 hours...darn that Buffet of Buffets!  After dinner, we watched "O" at the Bellagio and was amazed at the performance.  The performers were constantly moving, not to mention the stage.  

Sunday we literally just hung out, hitting three buffets, shopping, and lounging at the fabulous pool.  It was nice not worrying constantly about the kids, though they would have LOVED the buffets!  Monday came too quickly.  Since we had to tote our luggage around after check-out at 11, we didn't go far and stayed indoors as much as possible.  Before we knew it, we were waiting for the airport shuttle and were soon on our way back home.  Though I didn't want to go on this trip that much to begin with, I now agree that a break from the kids, even a mini one, really makes a difference.  See you in another five years, Vegas!

Approaching our "home" for the next two days
