Chip and I just returned from a wonderful vacation in Las Vegas with my brother and his girlfriend Erin. It was our 7th trip out there. Needless to say, we like it a little too much!! When we dropped Karlee off at Chip's parents on Wednesday night, I cried leaving her and all the way home. It was hard thinking about being so far away if something happened to her. It was such a calming thought though knowing that she would be in such great care with Chip's parents first then my parents over the weekend.
I relaxed as soon as the plane hit the runway in Vegas and I saw that beautiful city. If you've never been there, the buildings are massive and truly unique. We got checked in at Caesar's, grabbed some lunch and hit the tables. I spent most of Friday shopping on what I won Thursday night. I think I have a shoe problem, not a gambling problem!! The way I look at it, Caesar's paid for the shopping, not me.
This trip was by far the best food trip we've had out there. We started with Joe's Stone Crab in Caesar's Thursday night, Zaffireno's in the Venetian Friday night, and Sushi Rojo in Caesar's Saturday night. Zaffireno's had the best pasta I have ever put in my mouth. I'm not a sushi lover but Chip, Adam, and Erin are. They said the sushi was the best they've ever had. Sushi Rojo was voted the best Japanese Restaurant in Vegas and I truly believe it. The atmosphere was great and overlooked the Vegas strip.
The only problem with the entire trip was the journey home. Apparently, Atlanta had terrible weather on Sunday. Our flight was delayed twice so we checked in our bags and headed back to another casino to eat lunch and play more. Once we got on the plane, we sat on the runway for another hour and a half. What was supposed to be a 7:45 pm arrival home turned into a 12:15 am arrival home. Chip was not very happy when the alarm went off this morning at 5:45 for him to go to work. Oh well, at least the vacation part of the trip was a blast.

So glad you had a good time! You deserved a relaxing vacation...ready for the bahamas!?!?!
I am so jealous. I LOVE Vegas. I am glad you guys had a great time.
Looks like you had fun! Only 2 months until the Bahamas!!! I am ready!
Vegas for the seventh time, I like Vegas the first time I went there but on my third outing there I spent half the time in my room because I did so much in Vegas the previous 2 times. It does sound like Vegas is the place for you, mr and mrs. 7th time in Vegas. I'm glad you had fun at Caesars and your problem with shoes not gambling. Horrible weather sucks but that happens when flying. I'm glad you had fun
Sounds like so much fun! I wish I could get away like that soon!
Woo Hoo Crazy Kiddos! Looks like y'all had a blast - I think Kevin and I need some time away soon!
Allyson,
Thank you for letting me hold Karlee on Friday. Others ask me how often I got to babysit for her,as she seemed so content in my arms. I am glad that you and Chip enjoyed your trip to Vegas.I know that it was hard to leave karlee,but it was good for her also to have the special time with her grandparents.
