What happens In Vegas ...

Stays in vegas especially when you forgot to take pictures ! So this was a MAJOR "D-OH " moment . Jake and I got away to Vegas for 3 nights which is HUGE for us being as we have not gotten away for that long by ourselves in YEARS ( I would tell you how many but I seriously cannot remember). We had an amazing time ! We stayed at the Flamingo Hotel ( because that is where the appraisal convention was being held ) and we decided right away to upgrade our room . What a difference $50 bucks a night makes ! Our room was really nice ( wish I could show you pics but forgot to take some, D-OH !) We really enjoyed the slow paced life without children and I did not feel a bit anxious about how they were being as my mother was caring for them . Thanks Mom ! We did things together we have not done in years like sleeping in ! We also went shopping at the outlet mall together which we have not REALLY done since we were engaged ( yeah seriously , nine years since we have done some nice, leisurely outlet shopping together !) We also got the chance to meet up with Jakes parents for a NICE prime rib dinner and the broadway show of Mama Mia ! It was tons of fun and so nice to see them ! Thanks Jack and Judy ! Jake went to appraisal seminars all day Tuesday and Wednesday and I just leisurely checked out the non-touristy parts of vegas. I did some early Christmas shopping and visited my good friend Marci from our newly married ward in SLC. It was so great to see her and her cute family. Wow , time flies ! Ofcourse to end our couples trip we stopped in at one of the nicer Buffets for a YUMMY farewell dinner . After all a trip to Vegas would not be complete without a stop at the buffet, right ? Anyway, lesson learned .... next time I will always keep my camera on hand ! Hopefully that next time will not be too far off .
