That's right Thursday afternoon we left for Vegas! It was a family trip with lots of family/friends that came with us as well. We had never been to Vegas before, but left me just say we are definitely going back when I'm not pregnant. Here's a recap of our 3 days in Vegas!
We arrived Thursday afternoon about 3:00 Vegas time! We checked into our hotel and headed to find some place to eat! We took the bus (which I wouldn't recommend), down the Las Vegas strip. We stopped at the stratosphere for a few pics, then headed to the Nascar cafe to eat! After dinner we headed to see a light show! It was a busy day and we finally got back to out hotel about midnight.
Friday, we woke up early and did a little gambling with my dad before everyone else woke up. No luck winning any money! At 10:00 my parents got remarried. After 22 years my parents decided to marry again. It was a nice small ceremony that took place in their hotel room. After the wedding Zach, Alicia, Braden, Greg, Kelsey and me headed for the strip. We walked all over the strip! Let me tell you we got our exercise for the weekend! My feet have never hurt so bad! We met up with everyone at Margarittaville! Let me back up and say there were 16 people total that went. Friday night we did more gambling! Zach actually won $175, but no luck for me! We headed to bed around 11 after a long day of walking!
Saturday, Zach, Alicia(my sister) and I headed to the shark aquarium that was at our hotel! It was a fun aquarium and we even got to touch some sting rays! After the aquarium we took a taxi to the hard rock cafe to eat some lunch! After, we ate to headed back to the strip to do some more shopping! I found the baby 3 outfits at gap! on sale for 5.99! Saturday night was filled with more gambling! I actually played the roulette table for over an hour and came out ahead $9! (big winner huh:))
Sunday, we were up very early to head to the airport! We landed back in Wichita at 1:30 and headed home! We had a good trip and can't wait to go back! 3 days was not enough time to see everything.
Let me just talk about our plane ride for a minute! I don't mind flying. Zach and I have flown a few times since we have been married! Our longest flight was to Maui! 9 hours total! I'm not sure I'll ever go back, but we had a blast! Anyway, this was a 2 and a half hour flight! No big deal, at least that's what i thought! I usually drug up before we fly, but being that I'm pregnant i decided to go drug free! Big mistake!!!! the landing to Vegas was horrible!! I thought we were dead for sure! The turbulence was so bad that I actually got out the vomit bag! I never threw up, but man that was a terrible flight!! Lets just say I learned my lesson and drugged up before we headed for home! The trip home was a breeze though!
Its been a busy week here! Work and more work! I've been getting stuff marked for our garage sale next weekend! June 20th is the date and its a neighborhood garage sale! We are selling our desktop computer if anyone is interested. its only 3 years old. flat screen 19inch. asking $100!
Here are a few pics from the trip! Oh, the temperature in Vegas was only in the 80's so no swimming for me! Yes, I did pack my bikini, but never wore it!

Wow - I can really tell a difference in the size of your "bump" this week! Randy and I had a great time in Vegas with all of you - we are so glad we were included and able to be a part of such a fun and special time! I know it was kind of a bummer being pregnant while everyone else (YOUR MOTHER) was enjoying all the free drinks, but there will be a next time for you. She can babysit - ha! Anyway - thanks for letting us tag along, so many fun memories! Hope you are having a great week - we are anxiously awaiting for the announcement next FRIDAY! See you soon - love, Rhonda
ReplyDeleteSo my mom is right...you really did seem to pop out a little more this week!! I can officially tell!! You are just so darn tiny to start with that it isn't really fair!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you guys had a fun time!! We went to Vegas almost two years ago and it did nothing for me. I have no desire whatsoever to go back...ever. We didn't spend a dime in any of the casinos either! Are we weird?!
It is fun to see all the family pics!! Talk to you soon!
Congratulations to your mom and dad! Glad you were all able to celebrate with them and have those memories. I've never been to Vegas, but it always always sounds like fun! Also, kudos to you for being ballsy enough to try the Roulette table! :-) Can't wait to hear if you're expecting a boy or a girl! Exciting times!
