Vegas and Busts (oops) Vegas or Bust!


We had so much fun in Vegas last weekend. Thanks Clint and Meghan for spending your anniversary with us. Adam had a dental course in Vegas and I wanted to come along and relax too. Thanks to fabulous friends and my mom and grandma that flew in to watch the kids for the weekend we were able to get away and relax.
weekend agenda:
Thurs. Adam and Carlee to dental courses, BORING! but fun to be together.

Thurs. night or should I say Friday morning at 2:00 Clint and Meg drive in. We stayed at a really nice hotel, THE Hotel at Mandalay Bay. Thanks Tom and Melissa for the recommendations in planning our trip. Adam had to get up at 8:00 and go to class, while Meg, Clint and I slept in until 11:00 then went to the pool and read our books and enhanced our skin color. It was lovely. That night we went to the best Mexican restaurant at the hotel, all fresh homemade... delicious. Off to a great show of Phantom of the OPera. The Theatre was amazing and so were the Phantom's hand movements when he sang. Clint needs to post a video of his singing, we were laughing so much afterwards. Not much walking around because Meghan had the heels from hell on and was a mile behind us. :)

Saturday: Adam to class at 9:00, clint, meg and carlee sleep till 11:00 and then to the pool for more reading, laying out and floating the lazy river. Lots of smoke inhalation but so relaxing. In-and Out for dinner and then we walked around a little bit because Meg and Carlee's shoes were better this night. We watched the Bellagio Water show, and hit a soft nerve on Clint. He said he could watch it all night. oh so romantic. We really wanted to see Cirque de soleil "O", so Meghan worked her magic and we got tickets close and for cheaper. It was really cool and we were so glad we got in. We saw the two shows we most wanted to see and saw all of Vegas that we could handle, as we followed a Boobie girl on a trailer home to our hotel. The boys tried to get around the car trailer but just couldn't make it around in traffic, so gross!

Lots of fun, lots of laughs, lots of memories, lots of money spent, lots of nudity, smoking, drinking, gambling.... We are surely a peculiar people and you realize it after you visit vegas!

So fun!
Thanks guys!

I am laughing out loud right now!You guys must have had the greatest time ever! So jealous! I think it is hilarious how much Clint loved the Bellagio water show...Brett would stay there all night too if we let him. And the Boobie truck...classic.

Remember the Bellagio dancing waters at the end of Ocean's 11? It is put to the music of Clair de Lune.....absolutely beautiful. I am right there with Clint. Explain this boobie trailer? I don't get it.
Las Vegas is definitely going down in flames one day.

I'm so glad you did that...not the nudity, gambling, drinking part...but getting together and laughing a lot. Nothing makes me happier than my kids enjoying each other. See ya in Santa Barbara.
