So, once again, we vacationed in Vegas this summer. And when I say we, it does not involve kids of course! Well, not OUR kids.
It has officially become a "couples" vacation. Last year we went with one couple, Monica and Victor. This year we included another couple, Gary and Marissa. Both couples have been our friends for years. We met both couples through baseball. But, our friendship goes far beyond that.
We originally planned a five day vacation. Then Trevor found out his reunion was there the day after we were leaving. We extended our trip by 3 days. One full week in Vegas! WOW! What could we possibly do for a full week?
Oh trust me, we found lots to do. The pictures are not in chronological order. I have no clue what night we did what. Seriously? Who cares, just enjoy the pictures!
The guys the first night.
The girls the first night.
Us, the first night
The one thing we really wanted to do was see The Jabberwockeez show. They are a dance group. They originally won America's Best Dance Group. They were really good. We truly enjoyed the show. These pictures were in their shop. Pictures are not allowed during the show.
One night, we went to the top of the Stratosphere. Wow, very high! These are their funny sayings on the tables. I guess to get your mind off how high you are.
Did read that one? yes, 896 feet! That is high people!!!
We also rode the Eiffel Tower Experience at The Paris Hotel. Trevor and I had done this before, but it was nice with our friends too. This is the perfect spot to watch the water show at the Bellagio Hotel.
Of course, we ate amazing fun and walked our butts off! We walked everywhere!
I took this picture and sent it to tease CJ. I know, rubbing it in to my son is not nice, but it was fun!
We got to eat at In & Out Burger. This, we took a cab to. Then four of us walked and walked and walked to a movie theater for a free showing of Red 2. I think that day we thought we would fry from the heat. It was unbelievably hot. It was so hot when we got to the theater and waited, Trevor laid down on the floor (we were in a mall), put his head down on my lap and went to sleep. If you know Trevor, that does not sound like him at all.
This is him after his nap. He is happy and cooled off at this point.
The movie was really good. It was free too, so it was even better. But, dang was it a long walk and HOT. Walking back was so much easier and quicker. (it was dark by then)
We spent a day at the pool too. It was so pretty, very relaxing and perfect for the weather we had. H-O-T all week!
We rode the bus downtown to check out the Pawn Stars Shop. It was little. We were not impressed, but now we can say we have been there.
We also saw Carrot Top. Seriously, he has been around forever, but seriously, he is freaking funny! It was a GREAT show!
We also decided to do a dinner show. We choose the Tournament of Kings Show. We knew it would be okay, but we didn't have high expectations. There was jousting, dancing maidens, and fireworks.
This was our food. Notice there are no utensils. The food was actually extremely good and even Trevor, the picky one ate most of it.
What we learned if this is Vegas, baby! They know how to do shows and feed large crowds.
Everything was well worth it! The food was really good and the show was super entertaining.
Us at dinner
This is Trevor being funny!
This is a toilet game. Trevor eating his Dilly bar before the dinner show. He was afraid the food wouldn't be good. He was wrong, but he did enjoy dessert before dinner.
This is my trying to be fashion forward. Cute shoes, right?
This is me after the bus ride down the strip! Yep, not even after walking, just riding a bus. EPIC FAIL!
I had to buy band-aids for EIGHT DOLLARS at Wal-greens. Nope, not worth being cute. My feet are still healing weeks later.
Oh, and that reunion I mentioned. Trevor's 25th... we didn't go. He just used it as an excuse to extend the trip. It worked! :)
Us, again.
And yes, next year's trip is already in the planning stages!
