Viva, Viva, Las Vegas!

First. My doctors appointment with the hormonal therapist is supposed today. My fingers are crossed that it doesn't get canceled today. Keep your fingers crossed for me, would you? Thanks.

On to the good stuff.
In October Kirk and I decided we wanted to go on a Birthday trip to Vegas. Our birthdays are only one day apart so we usually like to do something fun. We found the shows we wanted and planned our trip around those. I counted down the days till we left. We flew out of Stockton, which was super nice, and then it was only an hour flight.

When we went to check into our hotel, they didn't have a non-smoking room available so they asked us if we wanted to wait for a non-smoking room and of course we said yes. They said it would only be about 45 minutes, so we decided to walk around for a while. We watched a couple water shows at the Bellagio, and after almost an hour and a half when we still hadn't heard from the hotel we went back to ask about the room. They apologized and gave us a free upgrade to a bigger room, complete with a jacuzzi tub!

On Monday morning we went on a tour to the Hoover Dam. I found the deal on Groupon and knew it was the  perfect idea for Kirk's birthday gift. The tour company came and picked us up at our hotel, and drove us out to the Dam. When Kirk saw a sign for the Dam and got so excited. He was totally geeking out and it was adorable.

For dinner we went to a restaurant that was highly recommended by a friend. It was DELICIOUS. I got steak and mashed potatoes, and Kirk got Scallops. They had whole baguettes that they put on the table, and I don't know that I've ever had bread that good. We also got Bananas Foster (also recommended by my friend) Yum! 

                                           

                                                   

After dinner we got to go to MY show. Phantom of the Opera. I'd seen it twice already and I wanted to share my love of the show with Kirk. Unfortunately they changed and took out little pieces, so it wasn't entirely they show I loved. Still great though. Kirk, being the fantastic husband he is, even bought me a shirt from the show.

On Tuesday we had breakfast at Planet Hollywood then spent the morning just walking around the strip. 

On Tuesday night we went to Kirk's show, Celine Dion. It was AMAZING. 

We had dinner after the show at

We knew this would probably be one of the last big trips we get to go on before we have a baby so we wanted to do as much as we could. 

Wednesday morning before we flew back to Stockton we had one more place to get food from. Kirk's brother suggested a sandwich shop called 

They specialize in hot sandwiches, and the bread is baked after the bread and cheese is on the bread and put through the oven. It was absolutely one delicious sandwich.  Thanks Jon!

Then we had to fly home...it was a sad moment. We had a fantastic trip, and eagerly look forward to the next one!
