Happy 31st!

I turned 31 this year and it was much more traumatic for me than last year. I am getting old and running out of time to do the things in life I want to do. I have never traveled on a plane with my husband. After twelve years of marriage and five kids, I decided we were going on a trip for my birthday. We ended up going to Vegas.






And I actually won


So did Chris


I guess if I can't take Chris to Paris yet, Le Paris will have to do



We were waiting to watch the Criss Angel show.
It was very late and we were already exhausted.



We stayed at the Bellagio. The gardens there are very beautiful.

They made some pretty cool creatures out of flowers.



This is at the Flamingo after watching the Nate Burton show.


New York New York/Excalibur

We ate at The Top of the World. It is the rotating restaurant at the top of the Stratosphere. This is the view from the table.

I don't do too well with heights and I was too chicken to get too close to the window, so Chris took a picture for me so I could see it.


We had a really great trip. What I learned:
1. There is too much to see in Vegas to fit it all in one trip.
2. I need to travel more often, I totally love it.
3. I love lounging around by the pool, I need to do it more often too.
4. Criss Angel's show is called Mind Freak - yeah it is pretty trippy, the name fits it well.
5. Loved La Reve and Excalibur.
6. The Bellagio is way over rated.
7. The Mirage has the best virgin pina coladas I have ever had.
8. It has been twelve years since I have spent 4 solid days with Chris alone. We had a lot of fun together.
9. Really high restaurants that rotate really aren't my thing, they kind of make me want to throw up.
10. Turning 31 isn't so bad if you can live it up.
