Weekend Getaway

We had a blast in Vegas! We arrived on Saturday afternoon, after a short 45 minute flight. We are never ever driving to Vegas again. Saving 3 hours of drive time was well worth the airfare! The hotel was beautiful, our room was perfect. We upgraded to a suite. We could have had our entire family stay in that room comfortably! It was huge. I highly recommend the Paris hotel. Very nice, great location and a good price!

Funny story- Our bathroom had a bidet...you know, those cool sink-like things that you sit on in the bathroom....the hiney cleaner. Anyway, I turned on the water to warm it up and try it out! Bryan was standing right there of course. Totally sprayed myself in the face with the bidet water. Then I got images of some nasty herpes infected person sitting on it. Ewwww! I hope those maids disinfected that thing! It was pretty funny though, Bryan was rolling.

We spent two days alone together going to fancy restaurants, walking the strip and gambling. Bryan is a table kind of guy whereas I would prefer the slots. Bryan is always really lucky. He won quite a bit. I, on the other hand, am not so lucky. I lost his winnings. We make a great team!

The highlight of our trip was eating at the Eiffel Tower Restaurant. Very fancy. It's at the top of the Eiffel Tower at the Paris Hotel. They sat us in the window facing the Bellagio Fountains at sunset. Very romantic. The menu was all french dishes and our waiter even spoke french. The food was delish. We both ordered Filet Mignon, shared scallops and croquets. For dessert we had the chocolate souffle. Mmmmm, my mouth is watering now. It was well worth the money to have a once every 5 year kind of dinner with my husband.

By the time Sunday rolled around, I was ready to get back on that plane to see my babies! I missed them like crazy but had such a wonderful time away. Every couple needs to get away alone once in a while!
