Las Vegas

Kade and I snuck away for a weekend in Vegas. Kade surprised me for Christmas and got us Garth Brooks tickets. It was so nice to get away. We flew out on Friday. We wanted to get there early in the day to pick up our tickets. Last year picking up the tickets was quite the ordeal. We had to go wait in a huge line with our ID to pick up wristbands for our tickets. So, this year we found out when the box office opened and prepared to go wait in line. We walked to the back corner of the Wynn, where we went last year, but no one was there when we asked they said to just go to the ticket office. So we found it, no one in line, walked right up to the counter told them our names, got our tickets. Apparently they have eased up a bit. Anyway, we went to the show that night. It was terrific! It was a little longer than last year, he told a few of the same stories but he did a great job of mixing it up. We saw Trisha again, I swear she was wearing the exact same outfit. You know that look on movies when I guy sees the popular, gorgeous girl walking by and he gets that dopey smiling look. I kept catching myself with the same look. Anyway, it was great and I'm so glad we got to go again. After the show we got a late dinner at PF Changs. Always yummy.

On Saturday we did some more walking of the strip and a little shopping, and then went to Mystere by Cirque de Soleil. It was really good, they do some amazing things but there seemed to be a lot of down time in between the major stuff which they filled with some cheesy things but it really was amazing. I don't know how those people do that stuff.

Sunday morning came and I was actually ready to come home. Of course I missed Molly, but also I think Vegas gets less fun the older you get. I used to be able to just laugh at drunk people but this time I just found them so agitating. The girls are getting even more out of control. I could not believe the skin I saw. Not that I think girls should be stick skinny but I can't believe how confident certain girls are in VERY tight and short clothing. Sick! But I found my biggest complaint/observation was how many people had kids and babies there. When we went to get our late dinner it was after 1100 pm and people were walking around with strollers, there were kids in the restaurant. Wierd, or maybe I'm the lamest mom ever but there is no way I could handle that. Such a strange city! Regardless, we had a great time and I guess we have to go again considering Garth still didn't pick on me for a request. Next time, Garth!
