las vegas vacay


I tagged along with Gary on a work trip.  I was on vacation while he worked!  We had tons of time together though and I even went to a few meetings with him.



We stayed at the Palazzo.  I was in picture taking heaven.


You can kinda see the reflection on the glass, but this was the view from our room.  It was awesome!


We went to fun dinners every night and had to take selfies to document!



When I was in Vegas last we went to the Venetian but the Palazzo wasn't there yet.  I still love the ceiling now as I did then!  It's so cool!



This picture looks yucky, but this breakfast was probably my favorite meal.  I ate it twice!  It's little tiny somewhat crunchy biscuits with sausage gravy, fingerling potatoes and two over medium eggs.  It was great comfort food for be being jet lagged and exhausted because Vegas never quits hopping.  Sheesh.  I'm too old for Vegas!


Our room was perfect and spacious.  The view was great and the bed was comfy.  Gary and I had a big time playing with the remote control curtains.  


The pool area was extremely HOT.  Goodness gracious.  I had a feeling when I jumped into the pool that it would be hot as a hot tub, but it was FREEZING.  It was shocking at first, but then truly refreshing.  Gary and I enjoyed talking to his co-workers, but we also had a fun time meeting new friends.  We met a few ladies from Colorado and Nebraska.  They were there on a girl trip and they were so fun to talk to.  Gary and I can make friends anywhere.  We always meet new folks while on vacay!


Another pre-dinner selfie. I'm so thankful I get to be married to my best friend.  We have some super fun times together and I'm so blessed to have an awesome life partner.



I had to take some scenic pictures for the kids.  I knew they would love seeing the hotel and all the fun shops and decorations.  Gosh, I can't imagine what Las Vegas will look like when they are old enough to go.  It'll be so very different!



We couldn't have gone without help from my parents. Thanks Netsie for hanging out here at home with the kiddos!  Thank you DeDe for staying in Texas with your fur babies so mom could make the trip!

snow day getaway at a local hotel


All the kids and moms I know were craving something fun to do since we are stuck inside the house due to the super cold weather. 


Record low temps here in Ohio =  major cabin fever!  



Sooooo we all got hotel rooms and decided to swim the day away!



We may have let the kids jump on the beds for a few minutes.  We ate pizza and swam and had a huge sleepover.  Our rooms were right next door to one another and they were adjoining!!  How fun is that?!?!? 



We all got up and had breakfast in the hotel and swam some more!


We made some fun memories and the kids swam all their energy out!!!  
Mission accomplished!
