VIVA LAS VEGAS!

Let me start by saying, NO, we didnt win any moolah! hahaha Tom and I just got back from Vegas this past weekend. We had a GREAT time! It was a nice break before all hell is about to break loose.
We walked about 100 miles while we were there. WOW even the Strip is long. I actually am glad we did all the walking since we ate all the good food like it was going out of style. the food was AMAZING. we ate at the Top of The World (at the Stratusphere) the night we arrived. the view was just awesome. I had steak and tom had pork chops. OMG! i thought i had died and gone to heavan. soooooo good! We took some pictures but they didnt turn out all the good. I will post some later.
The next day we walked down the street and bought tickets to KA one of the Cirque Du Soliel (sp?) show that night. We were both really excited to see this show. Vegas has about 5 of these shows in different hotels. Each one is different. We went to see the more martial arts one and it was great. those people must have like NO body fat and be in amazing shape. plus we were able to buy drinks before we went in so that was nice. hehe
We ate at a nice Italian resturant at the Venitian afterward. GOOD food. and the atmosphere in these places is so fun. Both tom and i love to people watch so we had alot to look at. haha vegas is a whole other world. haha
We hung out at the pool at the Mirage (our hotel) and had a great relaxing time. they have like 3 bars around the pool and also have servers that will come to your chair and take your drink order. We got two HUGE drinks ($30 for two drinks!!) and floated around the pool lazily drinking them. it was tons of fun. I enjoyed the people watching, well, until i saw a little too much of one fella. YIKES. needless to say security escorted him out. haha i guess what happens in vegas stays in vegas! hahaha
We both missed gigi very much. I think we annoyed the grandparents a little since we called about 3 times a day just to hear her give us Kisses over the phone. I could barely talk to her cause I always choked up the second I heard her. yes i am a mess! We had a great time and cant wait for the next vacation WITH Gigi this time. haha I will post pics as soon as I find the cord to load them on the computer. Me and Tom in front of the Wynn.
