Vegas Baby!

We had a fun trip to Las Vegas last week to celebrate Gordon's 60th birthday!

Kevin and I went on Wednesday and the rest of the crew (Karen, Gordon, Margie, Katie and Scott) came on Thursday. We all stayed until Saturday.



We stayed at the Mirage which was a great hotel! I was very pleased with the room, restaurants, view, and the casino (although the could have been a little more loose with their money for us!).



We walked until our feet were about to fall off - I am sure it was at least 5 miles a day or more! By the last day, I didn't care what I wore except tennis shoes was a must! We saw all the hotels, the new City Center, Bellagio fountain show from the ground and from up in the Eiffel Tower at the Paris hotel, and some very interesting people!





We had a birthday dinner for Gordon at Stack in the Mirage and it was delicious. We ate at several other yummy places including Battistas Hole in the Wall - very good Italian food, but not a "Vegasy" place at all! Kevin and I decided to see the Cirque de Solei show called Love with the Beatles music - it was AMAZING! I am so glad that we got to see it!



We had a great trip and it was really fun to have some "adult" time, but of course we missed the kids.


They had their own adventures with Aunt Jennifer, Uncle Rob, Trey, Kendra, Emorie Claire, Nana and Grandad! From what I gather, they got to watch several of Trey's basketball games, go to the park, eat with Trey's basketball team at a burger place, and lots of playing outside! Thank you so much to my family for taking care of our sweet babies while we were gone! This was the first time we have left them both more than one night while we were far away, but it was a much needed break!
