Away Day #1

We have arrived! Brady and I landed safe and sound in Las Vegas after a bit of a delay, but a smooth flight. We played hangman on his iPad the entire flight, because we’re parents, and cool like that. We got through customs and security and didn’t even have a wand run over either of us. Its nice to know we’re not suspicious seeming or anything like that.

Oh! I just realized I didn’t give any back story!! Almost none of you knew! I’ve been planning a surprise trip to Vegas for the past six-ish months, haha! Bradys bday is coming up, plus we didn’t get to celebrate our anniversary too much this year,Ā plus we’re pregnant with our third and figured we could use a break before Jim arrives. So ya, this morning Brady was gung ho to paint our house, but instead, we’re in Las Vegas. Fun twist, right?? The best Jerilee in the world is home with our kids for the week, which has made this whole thing possible. I love you for it Jerilee!!! And the kids adore you, so I’m confident you’ll have no trouble šŸ™‚

So once again, we’re here! We caught a shuttle at the airport and our hotel was the second stop. We’re at he Flamingo, which is the pinkest hotel I’ve ever seen, and everything about it is adorable. We did end up with a room with a tub (YAY!) but that gave us two queen beds instead of a king. Merp merp. However, we always sleep in a queen, so its not like we’re downsizing or uncomfortable. Fine by us! We’re nice and high up in the hotel, with a view of lots of lights and hotels, but remote controlled black out curtains can make us solidly antisocial. The bathroom actually has a tv screen built into the mirror, which made me literally laugh out loud. Why?!?! Because Vegas, thats why.

All this said and done, its 1:50 in my mind, but an hour earlier here. Still way later than we’re ever up, and we need to eat! We had an early supper today (another thing we can thank Jerilee for šŸ˜‰ ) and its time for a snack and cuddling in for the night. Tomorrow we’ll branch out and be a bit more touristy. But tonight, I want to rest my feet. As soon as I lay down on the bed upon arrival, I had a few pretty gnarly braxton hicks contractions. So, soon, we rest. After a snack.

And then, lets be honest. A soak in the tub and some Netflix. Old habits die hard.
