I got back from Pheonix on a Monday, Hyrum left for Las Vegas the next Wednesday. If there was a pattern to our trip so far it would be: travel, crazy catch up time, travel, crazy catch up time...you get the picture. While Hyrum was down in Vegas for his medical conference I got to spend some fun time with his sister Katrina who had traveled down from Portland to visit. We took all the kids to Toy Story 3 (LOVED it) and also took them swimming. It was great going to the pool with Katrina and her kids because her kids are all older than mine and so I basically didn't even need to put on my swim suit or get in the water, the boys just played with their cousins the whole time (LOVED it!!)
Because Oma and Katrina are wonderful women they offered to watch my 3 crazy kids so I could fly down to Vegas on Friday and drive back to Salt Lake with Hyrum on Saturday after his conference ended. Of course I took them up on this offer, so it was back to the airport for me.
I arrived in Vegas Friday evening and Hyrum and I grabbed a bite to eat and then hit the strip. I had been to Vegas one other time but only for a few hours stop on my way to Arizona. We spent about 3 hours walking up and then back down the strip. We walked through the Venetian and the Palazzo and saw the volcano erupt in front of the Mirage. We both agreed that the classiest hotel in Vegas is the Belagio. The lobby is spectacular and the fountain is a wonder. We both also agreed that whoever gets to choreograph that fountain to music must have a lot of fun.
Saturday morning Hyrum went to a few last seminars and I got a spa pedicure...nice:) Before leaving Vegas we stopped at a nature park and attempted to walk around. After about 15 minutes in 100 degree weather we decided to hit the road in our nice air conditioned car. Driving 6 hours can actually be a lot of fun if you don't have kids. You can talk, listen to music, listen to NPR. You don't have to stop for potty breaks, you can get ice cream sandwiches and eat them in the car because you know it won't make a huge mess! I love my hubby and I love the few times we get to spend just the two of us.
