Las Vegas

Jeff and I went to Las Vegas for our 3rd anniversary....thanks to my Aunt Sandy and Uncle Paul for the airline miles! We left at 10:40pm and arrived in Vegas at our hotel around 2am (Dallas time)...we were a little tired. We stayed at the newest hotel on the strip, the Aria. It was beautiful! When we walked into our room the first night, the blinds opening automatically, the music turned on, the lights turned on...it was crazy. FYI- I pretended to leave and then come in again...but sadly nothing happened. I would definitely recommend the Aria to anyone going to Vegas. My parentals were nice enough to watch Graham so we didn't have to take him.

We experienced it all while we were there. We went to the Peppermill for breakfast. It's a fun old lounge.

We also walked up and down the strip...didn't go into every casino, but most. That night we saw the "O" cirque show. I think it was the best show I'd ever seen!!!! We loved it so much that we got half price tickets to "KA" (another cirque show) the next night. "KA" wasn't near as good as "O" though. If you go to Vegas, you have to spend the $400 dollars for two tickets to "O." We even went to the In-n-Out burger. Here are a few other pictures from the trip. Ash, I even made Jeff go to New York, New York...in your honor.

Jeff taught me how to play craps. At this one casino in downtown, I was doing so good as the shooter that people from the table were tipping me because I was winning them so much money. I had lost a little money, but I made it back real fast at the Freemont!

Graham's new best friend...Chucky

So my good friend, Donna, took Graham and I on our first big adventure to Chucky Cheese's. I didn't know if Graham would be old enough to ride on the rides or be scared of Chucky....but he loved it all! At first it took him a little while to warm up to the whole thing, but once he did...he didn't want to leave. Actually, he kinda threw a mini-fit when we were leaving. By the way, their pizza is pretty good...even I, the pizza critic, was impressed. Donna, Graham will be forever grateful for you opening his eyes up to his new best friend, Chucky.

He just might be holding on for dear life...

I've been a little behind on my blogging, but I'm finally getting a chance to catch up.
