Las Vegas

Here's my one picture from Vegas. If I had something a little less self involved I would post it but this is it. So, I'll just let it be and try to remember this fun and quick trip that happened about 2 months ago :)

I got to go with Stephen to Vegas for about 24 hours, literally! We took off early one morning from Houston with our kids in the wonderful care of Grammy and Gramps. By the time we got to Vegas it was lunch time, so we quickly began a search for something delicious, and remember, living in Victoria makes the food choices oh so much more important! We ate lunch at Grand Lux Cafe. I think it's related to Cheese Cake Factory. We had been to one before in Houston so we knew it would be good and we were hungry. Stephen could no longer resist the call of the black jack table and I could no longer resist the call of the shops at the Venetian! We went about our separate business happy as can be. I wondered around to my hearts content and then made my way towards my spa appointments at the Venetian spa. I got a massage and facial. The facilities were amazing. Had I known the spa would be like a mini paradise, I would have camped out there more that day. The different pools, steam rooms, rain rooms, cold room (not tempted by that one), showers, were so inviting. I had lots of cucumber water of course and felt very healthy by just being surrounded by so much earthiness. I had to head back up to our room for some primping and dressing up for our NOBU dinner. Nobu is inside the Hard Rock. We took a cab and sat down for one of the best meals ever. I can't remember it all now. But we stuffed our faces with some of the best sushi ever! I mean it was such a tasty treat. We turned in early by Vegas standards and slept until Stephen had his meeting the next morning. Our trip ended with some walking around the strip and a nice lunch. We were back with our boys by dinner time and heading back to Victoria, TX. It was quick but I'm so glad we went for it.
