what happens in vegas,

stays in vegas. just kidding!! here is the recap of our AWESOME trip with my fam...
after days of preparing both myself and the kids, we dropped olivia off at school and headed to the airport. we met my mom, dad, and brother and the vacation began. the flight was good, on time, and all our bags got there. we got took a short cab ride to our hotel, Wynn. it is by far the most beautiful hotel on the las vegas strip.

this is the MASSIVE waterfall into the "lake of dreams" at the wynn. so beautiful. i hear there is a neat light show every night, but we missed that some how.

this was our view from our room. it was beautiful at night with all the lights.

just staying at this amazing hotel would have been enough, but my generous parents treated us to incredible meals, vegas shows, and some gambling of couse! we ate well, very well at several restruants at the wynn, il mulino, and a french restruant at the palms. and i hear that some great wine was enjoyed as well (i'm not a fan wine, so i wouldn't know). we also went to two shows- blue man group and danny gans. both were very entertaining. blue man group was random, amazing, bizzar, and facinating. danny gans in a one man show. he does musical impersonations. i will admit that it sounded a little cheesy to me, but it was great!! very vegas and very entertaining.

sean and mom at blue man group. we were given crape paper and asked to decorate ourselves.

sean and i walking around some casino, i think it was palazzo?

mark and i in the lobby of the wynn waiting to check-in.

there were some nice restful moments as well, mom and i were able to hang out by the pool and relax one afternoon while the boys played in a poker tournament. i was able to have lunch and drinks with my childhood best friend, meredith and her husband. so great spend time with her. we also spent time walking around looking at all the sites since it was sean's first trip to vegas.

this was an unforgettable trip. such great food, luxury accomidations, a few good hands of video poker, lots of walking, but precious time with my FABULOUS family was the best part. thanks mom and dad! where are we going next?? can we bring the kids next time??
