Mark and I decided to celebrate our anniversary early this year since we could use labor day and take a longer vacation. So, we decided to go to Las Vegas. This was Mark's first time in Vegas, and my first time being with someone my own age to have fun with...plus, being married and going on vacation is SO much more fun then being single and going with your family. Anyways. We stayed at the Monte Carlo hotel & Casino, they had a really awesome view of the strip from our room, a lazy river pool plus wave pool and they had some fun slot machines that mark and I did not feel guilty playing. We gained 13 dollars playing deal or no deal, but then used it to gamble again and lost all but 86 cents. Oh well, it was still fun!
We also visited the coke store and tried 8 different kinds of rootbeer floats and 16 different soft drinks from around the world. Some were foul, but others were delicious. M&M world was cool. I got the cutest baby bibb for our little sweetie, this is our first item for the baby, so I was pretty excited.
We walked around the different casinos, mark got some signed photos from some of his favorite vikings players and we ate at the most incredible restaurants and buffets. The Aria and Belagio buffet are incredible! We also visted the fine art exhibit in the Belagio, it was amazing to see how much art has changed since the 1800's.
We also dressed up and went out for dinner and a show. We saw The Lion King, this is the last year that it will be in vegas, so we thought we should see it. I wanted to see a cirque dus ole show, but I am glad we decided to see the lion king cause it was so beautiful. The way that they create the costumes for the animals, is breathtaking.
Our last day in vegas we did a lot of shopping, bought a lot of candy at a store called 'the sugar factory' which sold catoure lollipop suckers for 30 dollars! So funny, and no I did not buy one. I was tempeted to though. Our last stop was at Gold and Silver pawn, home of 'pawn stars' on TV. We did this mainly for Marks dad who is a fan of the show, mark was happy to go to tell his dad what he saw. It was really cool to see all of the items that have been pawned. We saw superbowl championship rings, a baseball signed by babe ruth and lots of poker chips.
This was such a fun and wonderful vacation! The best part is that it was only to two of us, no appointments to go to, no work and especially NO GOLF! haha, mark is such an amazing husband to hold off on practicing for four days. I love him so much and he is my best friend. I love how much fun we have together and that we never run out of things to talk about. I am so grateful for this vacation and the time we got to spend together. I WANT TO GO BACK!
