Mr. P and I had a weekend away courtesy of my parents. They wanted to do something for us, fo having them stay with us during the Fort McMurray Evacuation....of course we wanted them with us! When they offered to have the little ladies for a weekend we jumped at the chance, as in THAT VERY NIGHT Graham wanted to book a weekend away for the two of us! At least I know he still likes hanging out with me ;) We looked around a bit and then decided on Vegas. For a quick weekend with entertainment, good food and heat, it is a pretty good place to go.
Graham has been to Vegas more then me but neither of us have stayed at the Monte Carlo before and it was good. The pool was stellar!!!!! The location was excellent and after arriving Thursday evening by the time we checked in and took our first walk down the strip we had our bearings. Bedtime quickly slipped to 1am and we shockingly slept in, a no kid perk.
We had some yummy eats at Wahlburger, Hard Rock, Bubba Gump and a fantastic Italian Restaurant in Ceaser's Palace. We aren't big 'foodies' but we like good food and had some great meals. We hadn't booked any shows before leaving so took in a dueling piano show one evening and snagged a Cirque Du Soleil show themed to Michael Jackson Music called ONE, so rad!!!
I just love my sick kick! It sounds so cliche but I don't know how I got so lucky. He is a gem! This will be an incredibly busy year for him work wise, consequently the time we have together feels so precious. A year filled with two shutdowns, literally eating up half of the year means our 'normal' everyday life is actually not really our 'normal'....if that makes any sense. It is easy to just get into a survival groove with the kiddos where life revolves around them but getting to have one on one time together is a reminder that we are more then just parents. Some days these kiddos who are the center of our lives (as they should rightly be so) are going to grow up, they are growing up. Nuturing our relationship is essential and Mr. P is good at helping make that happen.
Oh the slot machines hahahhahaha! We aren't gamblers, we each dropped like $5 and after we each lost we called it quits. Las Vegas isn't flashy and fancy because people gamble and win here ;) We needed a picture though!
It was super hot and beautiful.
Great entertainment.
Fantastic food.
Sleeping in.
Unlimited togetherness.
The wow factor of Vegas is just well WOW! Everything is over the top. It was nice being together and even though we've been there together before I love getting to share experiences with this guy.
