We were lucky enough to be able to take a 4-day getaway this October, just the two of us - no kids! We haven't had any time away for the two of us since.... well, before we had Ava! So this was a much-appreciated opportunity for both of us - and we decided to head to Las Vegas!
After a long day of traveling, we finally made it! We stayed in the newly "modernized" West Wing, of the MGM Grand hotel. Very nice! Notice how Chris immediately peruses the room service menu!
Our very mod bathroom. And do you see that black rectangle on the bathroom mirror? Yes, that is a TV. Inside the mirror, paper thin. Yes, a TV. Because apparently while on vacation in Vegas, you must multi-task...
We had a little luck when it came to gambling - Chris scored a $450 win on a slot machine in the Bellagio! (Yes, I know you are not supposed to take pictures in casinos. I was quick about it!)
Friday night we went to see Blue Man Group at the Venetian. It was amazing!! It is indescribable, and a great show. The odd comedy starts as soon as you sit down in your seats... they passed around endless amounts of white tissue and instructed all show-goers to "dress" themselves in it. Here we are in our creations, waiting for the show to start!
A view of the Venetian's "Canal" complete with Gondolas .... Yes, this is all inside!! Beautiful!
Of course, doesn't everyone snap a "self-portrait" in front of the Canal? Here we are!
And we could not forget the kids. No visit to FAO Schwartz is complete without sporadic dancing on the life-size piano!!
We had a wonderful time! It was a whirlwind of a trip, but also just what we needed. A huge Thank you to our parents who helped make it possible!!
