Vegas anyone?

It all started with Chris. One day he said, "I want to go snow camping with friends." I was thinking, um ok...avalanche, slick roads, hypothermia, getting lost, bears, etc... you name it, I didn't really like the idea. He was super excited though and promised that he'd return, so he went. They had a blast! They even found a snow cave and slept in it. Although it sounds super crazy to me, I have to admit it was pretty manly.

Anyway, I was home with the kiddos on my own, so we ended up hanging out with my parents. They were busy getting ready for a trip to Las Vegas. My dad was traveling there for work and my mom was just tagging along for fun. They were like, you should just come with us. I was thinking that sounds fun and all, but it's TOMORROW. Flights are usually crazy expensive last minute. Sure enough when I checked the usual airlines it wasn't even an option. Then I looked at Spirit. It ended up working out perfectly. I texted Chris as he was coming home from the mountain...."um, honey...I want to go to las vegas." He replied, " okay, sounds fun, when are we going?" "Actually, I'm just gonna go, and you are gonna stay here with the kids...and it's tomorrow." I have a truly great hubby! Not only did he agree to this madness, but he encouraged me to go and live it up.

It was a great little trip. I got to travel with my parents and stay with them in their fancy suite at the Pallazo. We went to fancy restaurants and spent lots of time just talking and having fun. It was freezing cold there, which is strange for Vegas. There was even ice in the fountains. My dad had to work most of the time, so my mom and I shopped and ate our way around the strip. The best was the nightly trek for dessert. I can't wait to go back and try out a few more places!
