For the record, I started this post about two weeks ago, and forgot to finish it. Even though the trip was almost a month ago, it's still worth blogging about because it was so awesome. Enjoy.
For our ten-year anniversary (how can it be so long already?), Mitch and I left the girls with Grama Poke and headed to Sin City. The 72-hour trip was blissful, mostly because there wasn't someone who needed changing, or wiping, or milk, or a toy, or to be fed. Seriously, the best part of the trip was sleeping in and enjoying a lovely cup of Starbucks while watching morning TV in bed. The swim in the tub in our suite wasn't so bad, either.
Mitch also took it upon himself to upgrade us when we were poolside from lowly deck chairs in the blazing 100+ degree temps to shady cabanas, complete with TV, refrigerator stocked with water and pop, and waitstaff at our fingertips. It. Was. Awesome. We spent two full days at the pool, soaking up rays, watching cable TV, and drinking some fantastic mojitos.
And yes, I did put my feet in the beer tub. Nevermind the heat outside - I needed to be cooled off while reading "Fifty Shades". Oh. My.
After our days at the pool, we'd head to dinner and out to gamble for the night. Mitch continued his rounds of mojitos at the Mexican restaurant....
......while I earned my drinking money back from the slots in the various casinos on the strip. One of my most favorite games to play is "Leprechaun's Gold", which you don't see very often anymore in Vegas. I spied it while walking through Monte Carlo, slipped $5, and I came away with $30 from that machine. Hell yeah!
Do I ever love the bonus....
Mitch had seen these machines a few times and finally decided to play it -
But the Cougars took his money.
We had a fabulous trip, and I have a feeling Mitch is already planning our next trip to the desert!
