Vegas trip day two

Our second day in Vegas...We got up and ready slowly. I went to the main floor and got some muffins for breakfast and we hit the streets to explore the other side of the strip before Sean's afternoon meeting. We walked through the hotel that had the Elvis show and ended up at a burger place in the New York hotel for lunch. We were both very full again and wondered why we hadn't shared a meal. I guess they probably wouldn't have made Hal the burger plain for me with the other half filled with stuff for Sean.

So far I've only called home once today. The Kaelyn repetitive is that she feeling much better and acting like a different kid than yesterday. That makes me feel better too. I don't like being away from her either way much less when she's sick. I know she'll be fine by I'm still her mama and I want to be there when she needs me!

On the other hand it's been so nice for Sean and I to get away and spend some real time together. We get to actually talk! It's been awhile that's or sure. So this is good for all involved. I’m just hoping Kaelyn remembers me!

We walked back to our hotel and I got my plane ticket for my trip home printed. He headed to our room to rest for a bit before his meeting and I headed for the spa! I sat in the whirlpool there for awhile then got a massage. It was very relaxing. I felt like I melted into the table. She even rubbed my hands and feet! Very nice. After that I felt very drowsy so I went back to the room and laid aroud and read for a few minutes before venturing out again.

I called home...again...but only twice today instead of three times so I'm getting better! I got lost but eventually made it to the Venetian to pick up our blue man group tickets. Got lost again..then found the box office before wandering the shops waiting for Sean to get done and meet me. There are a lot of brides running around here today. I even saw a couple get married on the gondola ride. They looked so in love. :)

Sean and I met by the blue man group theater before the show. It was a great show. Really funny and plenty entertaining. I liked I much better than the beatles show. They did some drumming with paint and beat on other various pipes and other weird instruments. I expected more of that but there was a lot more to it. Catching marshmallows in their mouths...doing art...harassing the audience. It waS cool. We walked back to our hotel after goof through the bally’s and Paris shops areas. And that was the day!

Sunday I it up and ready and took a cab to the airport to head home. Can't WAIT to see Kaelyn though I would have liked more time in vegas as well. I was sore enough after the two days of walking that sitting on the plane didn’t sound too bad really! I got to the airport plenty early and got through security so I had time to finish the book I was reading and grab a snack. I actually got a seat in the FRONT row of the plane by the window so that was nice! I made it home and my dad picked me up at the airport. As I expected, Kaelyn glanced my way when I got home like, hey, it’s you! And then continued to play. Glad my being away didn’t affect her TOO much!

It was a great trip but at the same time I’m glad to be home again with Kaelyn. I really don’t like being away from her, though I know it’s good for both of us. She still has a cold or illness of some kind so I’m glad to be back with her for that. Hopefully we can go to Vegas again someday and explore more! Sean got to stay a few extra days for “work.”

Vegas trip day one

The long awaited Vegas trip finally arrived. Though I have to admit...as excited as I was to go I also didn't want to go. The longest I had ever been away from Kaelyn was about ten hours. This was going to be two whole nights and three days!! I always thought she was the one who suffered from separation anxiety but now I wonder if it's really me with the problem! I'm just not used to being away from her! But we left the house at 730am before she woke up. That in itself was hard but probably easier than seeing her

We got to Vegas at 1030 their time. Felt like 1230 to us. We got a ride to our hotel...paris! Dropped off our things in the room and hit the streets to look around and find lunch.

We ate at the Harley davidson cafe. Sean was happy that way. There were motorcycles going around the top of the room on tracks or something. It was really good and I had enough tea to keep me going for quite some time. After lunch we started strolling the hotels. This is my third trip here and I'm still in awe. Especially of the themed hotels that look like actual streets inside. Each hotel is a city on it's own. I think you could stay in one hotel for your whole trip and have plenty to do. I think we liked the Venetian the best. There was a love statue there. And gondola rides which we stood and watched for awhile.

At 530 we wanted to catch the live free show outside treasure island. We had never timed it right to see it before. It was so totally lame I couldn't believe it. I think it could have been quite cool but instead of making a cool pirate show it was more about booty if you know what I mean. I guess that's Vegas for you

We were still pretty full from lunch so we just grabbed some big cookies from Starbucks and went to our beetles cirque du soleil love show. We saw a different cirque du soleil show a fee year ago and I still say it was the coolest thing I've ever seen. This show was cool too but they didn't do nearly as much of the flippy circus stuff so I was disappointed by that. There was some but I think the show was more dancing and symbolic stuff about the songs. Which I didn’t really care about. It was still cool but I would o see the other one again and I would not see the beetles one again.

After that we walked back to our hotel which was a fair distance. We grabbed a snack downstairs an went to bed at 10. That may sound sad being in Vegas and all but that was midnight our time and I'd been up since 5 and we walked for like eight hours straight! I'm making excuses. We're just old and we were tired!! :)
