Vegas Baby!

We're back, safe and sound, from our trip to Las Vegas! We all had a great time! We stayed with my in-laws at their time share condo a couple of blocks off the strip--right by Hard Rock Casino. It was heaven! Maggie had her own room so we didn't disturb her and she didn't disturb us at night. There was not a slot machine in sight--ahhhh for me! This place had a great kids pool, an adults only pool, a great fitness room (which I'm happy to report I did use more than once!). Very family friendly. It was a good mix of play and relaxation.

Why is it that Maggie's FAVORITE activity (by far) was jumping on our bed?



We did a small celebration for Maggie's 2nd birthday. She got some fantastic gifts--thanks everybody!




She was a little timid about the pool.



One day we took a limo out to some shopping for the girls and off-strip gambling for the boys. The little "stars" in the limo were all it up and she loved it! She thought she was in a train and kept saying choo choo. Uncle Donald stretched his legs out to relax (getting his feet a little too close to the "stars" on the side) and Maggie said, "Uncle Don. Stepping. Stars."





Grandma and Grandpa took Maggie for one afternoon so Patrick and I could spend some precious time together. We had a super yummy lunch at the Bellagio, walked around, held hands...good stuff. The highlight of my Vegas experience was that afternoon. He took me to the pastry shop with the 27 foot chocolate fountain and the A-MAZING pastries!! We shared the most amazing dessert ever. Good, good day.
