Vegas!!!!!!

Ok so since y'all are wondering.......Vegas was great! It didn't start out so great though. we almost missed our flight. Yup we cut it too close for LAX on arrival - thought it would be more like John Wayne aprt. Not so much. They were literally holding the plane for us. Soo embarrassing. We didn't get checked into our room until 2am Sat morning and all the rooms were full except for one so the first night we got two queens. We traded rooms on Saturday and got a great room with a beautiful view of the Bellagio fountains out in front of us. we could watch the show from our room. we hung out at the pool and the drinks weren't cheap. $18 for one large Pina Colada! we checked out the new Planet Hollywood hotel and then we went up to the room. we actually missed our dinner reservation - by choice- so we could relax and get ready at our own pace. It was cool though b/c we signed up for this concierge service that had a lite dinner 5-8 pm and breakfast 8-12am food buffet with drinks etc. we went up there and ate some food and then went to our show. Can't say enough about Le Reve'. It was just amazing. You cannot take pictures inside but Google it sometime and see if you can see some pics online. The people were diving into a shallow pool from about 300 feet in the air. This was the most beautiful performance I have seen . I would totally see it again b/c you can't possibly watch everything as it is happening. Sunday we gambled a little - we won & lost and altogether lost $50. Not bad for Vegas if you ask me. what a blast! Hannah did great but by Sunday she was asking Mommy? Daddy? to Grandma and she started crying once that night in the tub. However she was also sleep deprived b/c she did not sleep in her own bed at home etc. All together well worth the money and it reminded me of the reasons I fell in love with with my husband. When the stress is off we do have a lot of fun together. Lately the focus has been on Hannah(as it should be) and it was nice to not have to change a diaper or be at someone else's beck and call(even if it is a baby) for two days together. Thank you Lynn & Robyn! will post pics later.
