In order to celebrate our milestone anniversary, we headed off to Las Vegas while our kiddos were able to stay with Grandma. What an amazing trip we had! It was so nice to not be on a schedule and get to sleep in everyday! We stayed 3 nights in Luxor Hotel on the strip, and we had a blast! The weather on our first day was perfect! Blue skies and 72 degrees was just what I needed. We took advantage of it by going to the Red Rock Canyon Conservatory that is just outside the city. They have a visitor center and maps of probably 20 different hikes that you can take ranging in difficulty. It was perfect. The landscape was beautiful, and it was so quiet out there. The hike we chose was amazing! It climbed up a rock canyon and ended with a great vista of the city. What a great way to spend our day. We also ate lots and lots of great food, including our stop to Max Brenner Chocolate. We saw Blue Man Group perform, which was pretty entertaining.
The next day was actually pretty cold and rainy, which was a bummer, but we made the best of it. We went to a movie, shopped, went out to eat, and saw Chris's family in the evening. Our last morning we found a great place for breakfast that is pretty popular called Hash House a Go Go. Chris had the fried chicken and waffles, which was actually pretty tasty. I had a more normal breakfast of eggs, potatoes, and a giant pancake. It was pretty tasty!
It felt great to get away, and have no responsibilities. We definitely needed a break! We were happy to come home and see our kids much more relaxed and ready to tackle the holiday season. a big thanks to everyone who helped make our trip possible! Thanks Grandma's and Uncle Troy! We can't wait to do it again sometime!
PS- We spent 3 nights on the strip and did not gamble a dime....there are plenty of fun things to do there. We were always busy!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY HONEY!
