Memorial Day weekend away

This Memorial Day Jeremiah & I wanted to get away and enjoy each other's company. We had originally talked about having a BBQ here with friends but decided to get out of town instead. We tossed around a few different ideas, but in the end we settled on Vegas! My parents and younger sisters babysat Landon and both our dogs.. and if it weren't for them, we wouldn't have been able to get away. So a BIGGGGGGGG thank you to them!!! :)

We left town Sunday morning (May 30) and came back Tuesday (June 1) which was long enough for us to lose all our money, but not long enough for us to enjoy a toddler free environment! LOL.

We stayed at Excalibur which was actually a really nice hotel and it is located right on the strip. We were able to park the car and walk everywhere! We did get sucked into this "vacation home" presentation that wasted 5 hours of our day on Monday, but in the end we got 2 tickets to see "Defending the Caveman" and 2 tickets to "Tournament of Kings" for only $50. Defending the Caveman is a comedy and the difference between husband and wife. OMG. Very funny!! Tickets for that show are $50 a piece! Later that night we went to Tournament of Kings which is the dinner show based on Medieval Times. That was really neat, except for the fact the most annoying kid sat next to me! Those tickets are around $70 a person. The total for both tickets would have been around $240.. but for wasting 5 hours of our day we got them for $50. It was a good deal... but I definitely wont be doing it again!! lol.

We had a blast being able to spend some quality time together and being able to let loose a bit. We're thinking about going back for our Anniversary at the end of July.. so if anyone wants to watch Buggy and the dogs for the weekend, let me know!! haha.

  3. If you send Landon to Alabama (and pay for his return as well haha) I'll gladly take him for a week so you guy can go on vacation! Sorry, no doggies though, hubby's allergic. =(
