Las Vegas!

Scott had a random week of vacation at the end of February so we decided to finally travel somewhere we had never been.  We chose Las Vegas because airfare and hotels are so reasonable and we got a deal we could not pass up staying at the MGM Grand Hotel.  We were gone for 3 nights and I missed Sophia more than I ever expected.  I have decided that for now I am not leaving her for more than 2 nights, and really all I need is a nice long dinner away from her and I am good!  Las Vegas was quite an experience, to say the least.  There is so much to do and see, but I feel we gave it our best shot in the few days we had there.  It was not exactly the most relaxing vacation I have ever done(you do soooo much walking) but I am glad that I finally was able to see all the sights that I have heard about.  The highlights of the trip were:
Seeing Cirque de Soleil's KA-BEST SHOW EVER!
Enjoying two fancy dinners minus Miss Sophia
Sleeping in as long as we wanted
Spending quality time with just Scott and I

We are here!!!

Our beautiful hotel room-they just renovated all the rooms:)

The lobby of MGM

First night eating at Fiamma before the show-so yummy!


It worked out great that the show was in our hotel-there was so much to do you didn't need to leave!

If only I was a millionaire-I could have done some serious shopping at the Forum Shops!

Caesar's Palace was one of my favorite hotels

One of many water falls inside Caesar's Palace

The Forum Shops inside

The atrium inside the Mirage-another favorite hotel of mine:)

Gondola rides at the Venetian

I took this picture after we were waiting awhile for people to walk by and Scott's face cracks me up!

Our enormous hotel

Our last dinner was at Olives in the Bellagio-this was in the lobby and I loved this hotel:)

Our last night dinner just before we watched the Bellagio fountains outside!

The Eiffel tower at Paris

Vegas was fun but it sure made me realize how different your life is with kids.  My next vacation will be on a beach doing absolutely nothing with Sophia close by!
