Happy to see this update - I was actually just thinking of you earlier and wondering how Vegas went. Sounds like mostly good (minus the one night). Looks like fun, I haven't been there in a very long time. Great pictures!
Oh, and hope you had a happy birthday - 30 is YOUNG!
(strangely enough, my mom and I were discussing this earlier tonight - how everyone thinks they're "old" when they're 30
)
I remember turning 20 and nearly 'dying' of how old I was! Oh geez how dramatic I was
It's so funny how people treat getting older differently. I know a girl who was turning 30 and was so depressed that her husband took her on two trips - one week to San Diego and one week to an all inclusive resort in Mexico. That's a good husband!
I had forgotten that you went to Las Vegas, I had kind of been wondering where you fell off the planet to!
It looks like you had a good time in Vegas and since your DH wants to go back, you must have had a great time. That's one thing about Vegas that sucks is all the smoke. We try to hit the smoke free sections in the Casinos. I can't really rewear any of shirts in Vegas either, by the second day, they reek of smoke.
Did you dine at any fancy restaurants? You look really nice in all the pictures.
As soon as we got home, every article of clothing went into the laundry, regardless of if I wore it or not. I had no idea that there were even non-smoking sections in casinos.
Nope nothing fancy unfortunately. We went to the buffet at the Bellagio the first night we got in for dinner. For lunch the next day we went to Burgr (Gordon Ramsay) over at Planet Hollywood and no dinner that night for me because I got sick. Lunch the next day was at Milo's at the Cosmopolitan and dinner we grabbed a slice of pizza over at that Hidden Pizza place at the Cosmo. Lunch the next day was at a buffet at the Golden Nugget.
I'm hoping we'll be able to do more dining on our next trip!
You sure look like you had a ball in Vegas! Aside from looking like you had a ball, you DEFINITELY looked like the belle of the ball. I loved all the dresses and clothes you wore on the Vegas getaway. Absolutely gorgeous.
And Happy 30th Birthday. 30 isn't so bad.....wait another decade or so.
Did it feel strange not having the little one around?
Aww thank you very much!
You know, DH thought he was going to have a very tough time that first day not having him around, but it was very nice. As mean as that sounds, it was nice not having to fuss with a stroller, worrying about nap time, about diapers, etc, etc! We love him to death, but need some adult time
I'm so sorry we couldn't work it out to meet up! If you come back in October, we'll definitely get it together. I can tell you I won't have any wedding responsibilities to worry about then. It looks like you guys were having an amazing time, though! It sucks that you got sick during your show, did you enjoy it otherwise? I'm always wrecked after a night out on the strip. My voice sounds like an 80 year old chain smoker. The worst is when you get to bed after a night out and you want to shower because the smell of smoke in your hair is making you nauseous. How was Milo's? I haven't tried there yet. Your room at the Bellagio looked really nice! As it should per Bellagio standards. My husband used to work there and said it looks like they've recently refurbed. Always a bonus in my book. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed yourselves and that you plan to return. Start thinking about where you want to go and maybe we can plan a night out to dinner somewhere fancy =) Or totally reversed and do Vegas locals style off the strip. Bar Forte is delish... I've had that place on the brain for a few days now, I'll have to try to get there soon...
I felt terrible about not getting together! Things just weren't falling into place and i'm hoping we can get together this next time around. We're planning on hanging out a lot downtown next time so maybe that's where we can meet up!
Milo's was so delicious! Fresh and easy. Highly recommend that place!
Welcome back! Thanks for sharing the Vegas photos. What a great way to celebrate. Other than the night of the headache it sounds like you had a great time.
Your black dress from the Cirque show is very pretty. Actually, you look stunning in all the photos.
Thanks Brenda! We had such a fantastic time, can't believe DH is set to go back already!
Great photos! All your outfits are so pretty. Nice job lady
I think that's cool that your ex-BF hooked you guys up. Yay for the sneaky photo where we got to see him
Thank you! Yes he's an awesome friend. I thought it was so funny that our friend managed to get him in the photo, so when I got home and put all the photos on the computer, I saw him in the background and started laughing!
Looks like a great weekend and a nice way to celebrate the big 3-0.
I'm sorry you weren't feeling well the evening of the cirque show, but I'm glad you recovered and got to enjoy yourself!
Thanks Andy! I'm hoping next time I won't waste a night by being sick.
Great photo update, Lesha!
It looks like you had a fab time in LV (apart from the headache one night).
I did have a fabulous time!
Your vegas trip looks like so much fun. Beautiful room with a cool view.
Your black dress and your white dress are both so pretty. You look great.
Oh - and that fish bowl drink. That looks fun!
Thanks for sharing you Vegas trip pictures with us!
Such a fun time and I think the fun part was dressing up. Can't do that back at home, i'll look very out of place
Welcome back! And thanks for sharing the photos! You look fabulous in all of them but I especially like the black one when you were at Cirque, yowza! I'm sorry you felt so bad
Yay for DH wanting to go back do soon!
Thanks Pam. I definitely was not planning on feeling like that. But it's kind of nice that I'll hopefully get to make up for that evening the next time we go!
looks like a find trip (other than the smoke-headache). You all look so nice dressed up. Must have been fun to get dressed up that many times in a row for a change
Your room looks nice! Where else but Vegas can you see the Eiffel Tower right out your window! Well, possible at Disney World from an EPCOT resorts ... and Paris of course ... ok, so I guess there are a lot of places!
Still need to get to Vegas at some point, but we don't gable so just other places move ahead of it on the list of places to go
Exactly! If I were to dress like that back at home, i'd be very out of place
That's what I was telling DH about the eiffel tower view. He knows it's my dream to get to the real thing someday and said I was content (for now!) with my fake eiffel tower view, but that he would have to step it up one day.
I think that's a good thing you don't gamble so you can use that money on better things like shows and food
Welcome back
I was hoping to see a few photos from LV
You look gorgeous!! beautiful dresses
Thank you very much Linda!
Glad you had a great time in Vegas. Great pictures. Hopefully you can do that jump if you go back in October.
I'm still so bummed that I couldn't jump. I was really, really looking forward to it. I'll have to be better about calling more often to see if they're open or not next time.
What great photos! You and your hubby are a very striking couple. And what a way to spend your 30th Birthday. You don't look like you would be 30 at all! Not even close!
Thank you!!!
I actually did get carded quite a bit over there. Especially from the pit bosses.
Love that view from BLT!
Looking forward to reading about the dinner at Artist Point, it's one that's been a consideration of ours for a while but we've never pulled the trigger.
Getting sick at Disney is the worst...hopefully it didn't have her down for too long!
I'm just about done catching up on all my subscriptions so that Artist Point update should be later today or tomorrow! So sorry for being behind!
