Weekend in Vegas

Jon and I went to Vegas last weekend to celebrate his 30th birthday. I tried to plan the whole thing as a surprise. I did have to tell him we were going out of town and that we were driving to the location because we needed to get our car fixed before we left. He was pretty sure we were going to Vegas because there aren't a lot of places to go in the winter within driving distance. I wanted him to be somewhat surprised so when we got to St. George I told him that we had to get off a specific exit. Then I gave him directions of where to turn and things. I had him convinced that we were staying in St. George. However, I simply led him to a gas station because we needed more gas before heading to Vegas. All I have to say is that it is a good thing I didn't plan the trip to St. George because you should have seen the disappointed look on his face. Jon does not hide his feelings well.

We had a great time in Vegas and were able to see/do a lot of fun things, despite the fact that I had to sit down about every 10 minutes due to numb legs and an aching back (love the side effects of pregnancy). It was nice to get away and have some time with just the two of us before the baby comes.

Happy Birthday Honey! Sorry you have to be so old when I still have a few years left in my 20s. I hope you enjoyed your birthday weekend. I love you more with every passing year.

Outside the Monte Carlo where we got an amazing deal thanks to my cousin.

Checking out the Bellagio

We ate at the Bellagio Buffet which we heard was the best one in Vegas and I have to agree. They had all sorts of amazing different food. They had a sea food section with several types of crab legs, shrimp, etc. However, our favorite part was the dessert bar. I had to take a picture of what we got. Yes, we did taste pretty much every dessert. From this experience I learned that I love Creme Brulee.

At the Venetian Hotel. You can't see the gondola in the background very well.

Outside the Mirage. I told Jon I want a waterfall like this in our backyard one day. He then went on to explain to me the cost of a water pump that large, let alone all the other expenses. :)
