Vegas

Ryan and I had a great time in Vegas! We just spent one night there but it was definitely just enough time to do a little bit of everything! We stayed at the Bellagio, which was a beautiful hotel. When we walked in the lobby you could smell the beautiful flowers that were everywhere! They had a beautiful display of fresh flowers in an atrium! I took a few pics for Avery - of a ladybug and a tree with a face on it!

Vegas is like a completely different country! There were so many different types of people there and I hardly heard anyone speaking english! It's dirty and there is a ton of construction everywhere! It's been about 10 years since I was there last and about 17 for Ryan. It's definitely not as glamourous as on tv or as we both remembered. We did do a lot of walking - but once you've seen one casino, you've seen them all! We ate at the Bellagio's buffet - recommened by a friend and it was delicious! We will be talking about this buffet for years to come! I wish I hadn't eaten for 3 days prior because there was so much food I could hardly eat 1/2 of what I wanted to! Oh, it was so good! We went to see The Blue Man Group - a popular show in Vegas. We wanted to see a Cirque Du Soleil show but we couldn't get 2 seats together for either of the shows that were scheduled that night. But we made a good choice in the Blue Man! It was better than Ryan and I thought and was definitely worth it! We walked "the strip" back to our hotel and played a few slot machines! No big winners....I think I lost a whole $8 and Ryan lost about $60 after the whole day! I am not a gambler! I hate losing money...such a waste!

It was a great trip overall but we sure missed our Avery! She was sooo happy to see us when we got back! She told me 3 times in the car "I miss you Mommy!" - awwww! Next year we will have 2 kids to leave behind! Ugh! That will be hard! Oh, next year's trip is in Bermuda....anyone want to tag along?
