Our 1st ever adult-only vacation





























Blake and I had an absolute blast in Vegas. At about a 5 hour drive, you can't beat the air fare. We stayed at the beautiful Venetian, which we highly recommend (something to consider as rates are great right now). I had been to Vegas a bunch as kid and as a rebellious high-schooler, and I was pleasantly surprised at the new, cleaner Vegas. Laugh if you will, but our goal was to have an exciting fine dining experience, and that was certainly achieved. We hit the restaurants of our favorite Food Network chefs (Emeril Lagasse's Delmonico and Table 10, Mario Batali's Carnevino, and Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill). Words can't describe the food, so I won't make an attempt, but suffice it to say that we were in heaven. We hit a couple shows: Blue Man Group and Jersey Boys, both of which were exciting. We had tickets in the first few rows and center of both, so it was a great experience. All shows and restaurants were in our hotel (with the exception of 1 in Caesar's Palace), so technically we didn't have to even leave the delightful confines of our hotel, but we did venture out a couple times. Again, the Venetian was beautiful and contained anything you could possibly desire in regards to shopping, food, and entertainment. It was also pretty fun watching drunken fools throw quarters in the trash I MEAN slot machines. Thanks to my thoughtful husband for treating me like a princess. Love you all. We so enjoy reading your contributions to the blog.
