With Chris' busy coming to an end and him wrapping up a few bigger projects at work, I decided it would be fun to surprise him with a trip somewhere. I decided on Las Vegas and within the next month, we were off! My family watched Carter while we were gone and no doubt that he had a good time!
We stayed at the Excalibur Hotel. Besides seeing all of the crazies walking around the casino, it was a fun place to stay!
Chris and I got conned into going to listen to a sales pitch about time shares in exchange for two free exhibits and $50 towards dinner. The shows and exhibits can be a bit pricey so we decided that we could spare the 2-3 hrs that they said it would take for that free stuff. WOW! 4 hours later, we were finally on the shuttle back to our hotel with our exhibit vouchers and $50 towards food in hand, as promised, but man alive, you can't make it out of those time share speeches without 4 different people trying to convince you to buy into it. We definitely would be interested further down the road, but with a baby, we kept telling them we don't plan on doing enough traveling to pay for how much the time shares cost. Long story short, we chose to go to the Bodies exhibit and the Shark Reef exhibit.
I booked a couple other shows while we were there, the Variety Show and Mystere, by Cirque du Soleil. Both were really fun! We really enjoyed every minute of the Cirque du Soleil show and would have been okay without a couple things from the Variety show, but all in all, some amazing acrobatics, juggling, roller skating, and comedy.
We had a blast, but were anxious to see Carter man when we flew home! He did so good while we were away and we were so thankful for my family being so willing to watch him! He's our good helper, always doing something fun and crazy with his dad!
