Saturday we’re going to switch our friends Adam and Melissa. This Saturday we get to go out on a date while they watch our kids and then the 3rd Saturday of the month, we’ll take their kiddos. Needless to say, I’m very excited about our date!

We had a really nice trip. There’s so much to tell, I think I’ll just list out the highlights.

*There was a Starbucks 10 feet from our room (much to Brooke’s delight)
*I immedialty won $46. Brooke was getting frustrated with her machine because she wasn’t winning anything, so the first nickel I put in, I won 6 bucks. (That is pretty telling of how our whole gambling experience was.)
*It was too cold to swim (although some crazy people were) but we did get to sit by the pool and knit. I taught Brooke how to cable – she was shocked at how easy it is.
*Brooke almost called the front desk to ask what time Alias was on. Yes, she’s even more addicted than I am. I thought it was on at 9pm, she thought it was on at 7pm. She was right and we missed it during dinner.

*We discovered that riding the monorail in Vegas takes almost as much time as just walking would (since you have to walk through the whole casino to get to it). But it was fun anyway.
*The fountains at the Bellagio weren’t going because it was too windy, but here’s a picture of me and Brooke inside.

*Cesars Palace was a fun maze of shops, but it was quite pricey. I don’t understand how people can pay $500 for a Louis Vuitton bag. It has also more than tripled in size since I was last there, 9 years ago.
*We really enjoyed the Fashion Show Mall, it made us realize how truly pathetic our mall is here.
*Paris was our favorite casino. It was really relaxing and peaceful to walk around the shops. We didn’t want to pay NINE bucks to ride up the Eiffel Tower elevator, but now I kinda wish we would have.

*As we traveled back to Mesquite around 11pm, we were able to see all the lights of the city. Las Vegas is HUGE! It makes Grand Junction look like a teeny, tiny ghost town.

*Friday, before we left, we went and got our massages at the spa. Before hand we floated in the mineral pools. It was SO relaxing. Unfortunately, driving through two blizzards on the way home, kinda tensed me back up.

*And for the funniest part of the whole trip: As we waited in traffic, we watched a guy pick his nose and EAT IT.
