Vegas!!!!

Lane and I decided we needed a little getaway before this baby comes and life gets even more hectic. So he requested the time off from work and we were off. We left Brookie with my sister, Erin who has been dying to have Brooklyn overnight. We left Friday morning and drove to St. George where we stopped and had lunch at Brick Oven and then hit up just a few of the outlet stores.

When we made it to Vegas we had a hard time finding our hotel but eventually found it. We headed over to Caesar's Palace to do some shopping but all those stores are insanely expensive but it was cool to see stores like Luis Vutton, Gucci, and Dolce Cabban (spelling??? I don't even know if that's the name!!!) We went into the Nike store where Lane bought a beanie for $25 that I thought was way overpriced but what the heck we're on vacation!! We were getting ready to leave and ran into 2 friends we went to high school with and their girlfriend/wife. What are the chances of that!!! So the 6 of us went to Cheesecake Factory which was delicious!!!

We watched the water show at the Bellagio which I thought was cool. This was my first time in Vegas and the whole atmosphere reminded me of New York. . .the bright lights, the smoking and garbage, all the tourists, all the walking!
Saturday we slept in, which we never get to do, went shopping at the Vegas outlets where we hit the jack pot for baby boy clothes!!! We got so many and some adorable outfits for Brookie too of course! We went to a comedian show that afternoon that was pretty good. It was called Defending the Caveman and it was on the differences between men and women. Everything he said was right on! How men and women talk different, think different, interact different, process things different. It was funny! Then we went to ESPN Zone for dinner, Lane's favorite! That night we went to a show called Le Reve. It's a cir de soleil show but it's all in water. It was absolutely amazing. Worth every penny we paid for them! These pictures were taken at the end of the show so it doesn't really do it justice.



We didn't take very many pictures but it was a great weekend away with the hubby who I don't see very often. We missed Brookie like crazy and were always talking about her but we needed this.


We drove home Sunday and put Brookie's new room all together. Pictures to come of that soon!!
