What happens in Vegas.....
Well you know the rest (and if you don't, you should be ashamed of yourself!!)
Sorry to anyone who still reads this for the lack of blogging for the last couple months. I would love to make some excuses, but unfortunately I don't have any.
I would love to update you all on the last 2 months of our lives, but since the only exciting stuff happened in the last couple of weeks I'll just jump to that.
My parents lent us their timeshare and flew us on airmiles, so Daryl and I spent a week in Las Vegas (from the 4th-10th), while Libby stayed with my parents in Barrhead.
Vegas was a blast and it was the first vacation with just the two of us since our honeymoon (which was over 6 years ago). It was great to be able to sleep in (which, thanks to Libby, was quite difficult for the first few days) and take as long as we wanted in the restaurants. One day we sat in a restaurant for over 2 hours.... those with children know how crazy that is!
We weren't sure if we would like Vegas, it seems like people either love it or hate it, but we really liked it. Unfortunately we didn't realize how much walking you do (the strip is really long!!), and our feet are still paying the price!
We slept, ate, toured, hot tubbed, watched KA (a cirque du soleil show... AMAZING!!!) and gambled a bit. We actually gambled a bit more than I think we would have, but I won $250 the first day ($200 in poker and $50 at a table game), so we pretty much played with that. It was a lot of fun.... you wouldn't believe how much money people will play with.. it was way too big for us "small town" bumpkins (the people we met all thought that Saskatoon was really small....).
A huge blessing was that Las Vegas was experiencing record highs for that time of year. Usually it's around 17 degrees, but while we were there it was around 27ish... it was great!!
Anyways all in all it was a great time of refreshing and relaxing and Daryl and I being able to pour into each other and ourselves. All in all a great trip!!
That's it for now, stay tuned for Libby's experience of that week as well.....
