Vegas Baby!!!!

If you haven't been to The Wynn, it is sooo worth the trip. Beautiful!!!!!!!

OK, my sweet husband golfed all day in the heat and we finally sat down to eat at 9pm. This was actually a $38 dollop of pasta and it tasted like spagettios. He still managed a smile, but NOT one of our most successful meals.

I truly think I was the only pregnant tourist in Vegas. Perhaps it's not exactly a "prenatal" friendly destination.

It really doesn't need words....

Brett is a little shy of heights and it was REALLY windy, so we spent a total of 5 minutes at Hoover Dam. I loved it!

So, we took a final "pre-baby" vacation and Las Vegas was just the natural choice.... I mean, where else do you take your 6 months pregnant wife!?

It really was a load of fun. Neither of us had ever been there before, so I think we literally spent 3 days just walking around and looking at everything. It truly is larger than life...hooray for capitalism! We stayed at the MGM Signature which was perfect for us... It's connected to the MGM Grand, so you have easy access to all the madness- but it's closed to all but patrons, so it's nice and quiet. The rooms are all suites with insanely comfortable beds (very important to me right now). We loved it.

As cheesy as it is, I have to say my favorite part was having undivided play time with my husband. Before Brett, I really had no idea it was possible to enjoy a person so much- God is just amazing...amazing. Now, my second favorite thing was my prenatal massage. OH MY WORD! For any of you who have not experienced this, you HAVE to put it on your "next pregnancy" list. They had this awesome pillow with a cut out that looked like mickey mouse, and all the "bumpy" parts fit into the holes- you get the idea. Now I must admit, it was worth most of the cost just to lay on my stomach for a while- but the massage... well you just have to get one. I felt great for days!!!

The only downside was the trip home. Just FYI, I'm not sure if this is an American Airlines or Las Vegas airport rule, but apparently if you don't check in at least 45 min before your flight then they give away your seats and you have to fly stand-by. You can see where this is going... Now, we are not completely irresponsible, we were a the airport about 90 minutes before our flight but we had a little rental car return problem. So, we didn't "check-in" for the flight until 42 minutes before departing. You guessed it, because we were 3 minutes late it took us 8 hours to get on another flight. Yes...8 hours in the airport. The worst part was that there were flights back to DFW about every hour and we had no idea which one we would get... so, we had to just sit at the gate all day. It was awful. Brett was so calm and I don't know how. I suppose he realized that getting angry wouldn't get us anywhere. I just stood there and cried. Seriously, couldn't speak - just cried. Oh well, makes for a pretty good story now!
