What a great trip we had! Our flight left Des Moines at 2:40 p.m. on Thursday and thanks to Stephanie, we got to the airport in great time. Our flight was pretty uneventful and we even got to Vegas 1/2 hour ahead of schedule! We arrived at our hotel around 3:30 p.m. and were really happy with the hotel. Neither of us had stayed at the Monte Carlo before and we're glad we did this time! We did some sight seeing, ate dinner and walked around some more that night. Then Friday was my big 30th birthday...I can't believe I'm 30....yikes! We got up, ate breakfast and then headed to the pool around 9:00 a.m. It was 108 degrees every day we were there...HOT!!! But luckily it's a dry heat so it was bearable. The pool was really nice, there was a lazy river, wave pool and 2 other pools. After a couple hours of sun we cleaned up for lunch and then we went to the outlet malls...we had a good time shopping and got some good bargains! Then we came back and hit the pool again for a couple of hours before getting ready for dinner. We ate at an amazing sushi restaurant in the Bellagio hotel...Yellowtail...wow, it puts sushi in Des Moines to shame...after dinner we walked around some more, did a little gambling and had a couple drinks. On Saturday we did a lot of the same...some pool time, walking around the strip, eating at fun places, gambling and had a couple drinks...we did get up early on Saturday and go for a run on the strip. It was a cool 90 degrees at that time! On Sunday we spent the majority of our day at the pool. We met a lot of people from Iowa that were there as well. It was so relaxing sitting by the pool with a couple drinks and having a ton of fun. Obviously we didn't win it big at the casinos but we had a good time donating our money to them! It was an amazing trip!!!
Luckily Brady was a really good boy for both sets of grandparents and he didn't crawl while we were gone! I was really missing him by Monday and was glad to get to see him and give him lots of hugs and kisses! Now it's back to the grind!!
At Margaritaville...I don't know how that guy walked on those stilts all night!
