Las Vegas Trip

Eric and I took a much needed 4-night getaway trip to Vegas last week. We had so much fun, and really enjoyed the time with just each other. I didn't even bother bringing my good camera because I knew I wouldn't even care about taking pictures, but we did manage to take some using our phones, and that was good enough. :)

Driving in from the airport, we saw the Welcome to Las Vegas sign. Neither one of us had ever seen it before, so that was cool. 

  

I had never been to Hoover Dam before, so on Friday morning we drove out to Lake Mead to do a lunch cruise and tour the dam.

Quick stop to take some pictures.

Such a cool boat.

Enjoying the ride.

 It's pretty amazing.

 Looking so wind blown! It was quite a windy day :)

When we got back from touring the dam, we stopped at Starbucks for some coffee. This little table was off by itself in a little nook. It looked totally awkward, like the table that no one wanted to sit at. I had the giggles, and Eric just HAD to take a pic. I forgot about it, and when I was going back through pictures, it made me smile. :)

Friday night we did some sight seeing, a little gambling, and walked down to the Bellagio to watch the fountain show.

And the fountains. I always love to go see this when where in Vegas. It's so awesome. 

 Walking back to out hotel that night, we ran into Buzz Lightyear, so I had to snap a pic for Carter :)

Saturday morning we went and did more sightseeing and shopping. 

We stayed at the Luxor, so I had to get a pic at the pool. 

This is Eric in front of the pirate ships at Treasure Island. Another pic for Carter :)

Saturday night we saw Ka by Cirque du Soleil at MGM. Totally amazing show.... highly recommend if you're in Vegas soon! We loved it.

Sunday we gambled a little, shopped some, and had lunch at a yummy pizza place and watched the Cowboys game. Then Sunday night, our last night there, we went to a comedy show.

This was the most delicious pizza.... one of the best we've ever had. Would love to eat one right now, as a matter of fact. It had prosciutto, grilled red onions, mozzarella & ricotta cheese, and the arugula salad sprinkled on top with olive oil. So Yummy.

Fun trip, as always!! Loved the time with my hubby, but was definitely glad to get home to my babies!
