The first week in May, Dean and I were able to take a little vacation together. When we were planning this trip we knew we looked for someplace with warm weather and a that wouldn't cost too much. We ended up booking a trip to Las Vegas. Neither one of us had been before but we had friends who have, and gave us some idea of what to expect. We stayed at a pretty new hotel on the Strip called the V'dara. It was really nice and the weather was amazing!!! Our first day there we explored the Strip and were impressed with the size of the hotels.

The Aria (sister hotel to ours)
On Tuesday, we jumped in our rental car and headed to Hoover Dam. We had watched shows on the History Channel about the building of the dam with the boys but is was great to get to see it in person. We want to take the boys there someday. On our way back, we missed an exit onto a different freeway we needed to take BUT we stumbled across and In and Out Burger when we were starving! So yummy!
Wednesday, we spent some time relaxing by the pool for a couple of hours which is a long time for Dean who usually doesn't like to sit still for very long :). Later, we headed to the Venetian to see the Blue Man Group and then experienced the Strip at night on the walk back to our hotel. We couldn't believe how many people there were on a Wednesday night!
The Conservatory at the Bellagio (the flowers smelled so good!)

We headed home on Thursday, ready to see our boys. It was a restful few days and a great time to spend just the two of us. We love getting away together and we love coming home to our three boys!!
