Vegas Las Viva!

Ahhh, Vacation! We are home from our lil' trip; we had such a wonderful time. The best part of a getaway like this is having my husband ALL to myself. I didn't have to share him with anyone or anything. Not the kids, not work, not friends, not television (except for the Cowboys game), not even his cell phone! He left his phone in the hotel room every single day. This is big! (I'm not sure if he even realizes that I noticed. I did. Thanks Babe!) 

 He was ALL mine! 

We did a wholelotta whatever-the-heck-we-wanted. Sounds great doesn't it? We  had no agenda and we loved it that way. We shopped, walked, ate, slept, relaxed, lost a little mula, and a lot more. I will spare you the majority of the photos and only give you a peek into how we spent a lil' bit of our time.

One of my favorite things was the romantic gondola ride through the Venetian.

With a real, live Italian host. Oh wait, I mean...she had a beautiful voice.

By this point, we had walked about a million miles on this hot Las Vegas day. Thus, the fresh-from-the-shower look.

Awaiting the Belagio water show on our way to a Cirq du Sole show. 

Not posed. Promise. :)

And Brad's not-posed picture. He DESPISES having his picture made. Which is all the more reason for loving to have him 'make like a tourist' and smile.

And we relaxed by the pool. (This is the only pale, white bathing suite shot YOU will see.)

I had to show Brad how I could tie a cherry stem in a knot with my tongue ;-)

The Monte Carlo treated us right!

Viva Las Vegas!!!

Do you see the hand coming out of my arm pit? Kind of weird, hugh?

We were SO anxious to see our kids.  Kayt, Noah and the nice shiner on his eye greeted us at the front door.  We spent the evening kissing their faces off. Gosh, I missed those sweet kisses. 

To remind me of our lovely time, all I have to do at this point is turn my head and inhale deeply to smell my hair. I am still reminded of the cigarette smoke that spells Vegas. My body is still on Vegas time, making me think the night is young, but my mind knows that I am back in the real world. With that, I think I will shower and head to bed. 

Thank you to my sweet spouse for treating me to such a wonderful birthday getaway. You're good to me! I love you!
