Vegas Baby!

Thank you Liz for deciding to celebrate your 30th birthday in Vegas!  We had a blast!  It was the perfect couple of nights away that we needed.

We left on Friday morning.  Rob and I were so excited for a little road trip alone with no screaming kids in the backseat.  It poured rain most of the way.  I'm talking poured so much rain that I could barely see out the front window.  It was a little scary a few times.  Not going to lie.  But we made it and checked into Paris Las Vegas!  Woo!!

It was fun to be carefree and act silly.  We ate at the Sugar Factory for dinner with our group of ten the first night.  There were five couples total.  Rob and I shared a fish bowl.  Yum!!  Rob also won 800 bucks on a slot machine that night.  My man never has luck like that.  Go Rob!!

The second day Rob and I roamed around Vegas.  We are used to being up early and everyone else was sleeping in or too hung over to function the next morning.  Let me just say to all you people who thought that I'd go crazy and wouldn't be able to handle my alcohol.  I did NOT get sick and I did NOT wake up hung over AT ALL.  Just sayin.  And so what if I was in bed by 11pm.  That's actually way past my bedtime and this girl enjoys her sleep!  Especially when I can sleep and not be woken up by a needy toddler or infant. 

Rob and I had not been away without kids since our honeymoon that was nearly 5 years ago.  This was long overdue.  We did miss our kids though and I'm glad that we weren't gone too long.

To Liz, Jenn and Tracey.  Love you guys!!  Let's not wait another 7 years to go back to Vegas together.  Maybe we can head back for my 35th birthday in a couple of years.

And of course no matter how much we enjoyed ourselves, there is no place like home.  Delaney and Kierstin were with Angela (Kierstin's mom).  Jordan and Harper were with Grandma F.  Thanks Mom for taking such good care of my babies over the weekend.  I'm so thankful that they have you in their lives.
