Wedding In Vegas

In exactly 5 days, Jeff and I will be flying off to Las Vegas for Jeff's sister's wedding. We are so excited considering we haven't been on a vacation since August 2007! We didn't even go on a honeymoon after our September 2007 wedding, so in light of that we are considering this Vegas trip our "mini-moon." While it may not be a full fledged-just you and I-romantic getaway, it will be our first trip since alone since Nicholas was born, thus making it a honeymoon of sorts.

I am so excited to be in Las Vegas with Jeff and experience it with a group of friends and family who will be there for Jami & Kris's wedding. The only other time I have been there was in 2004 with a group of girlfriends and we had a smashing good time, but did not get to see much of the attractions. This time I am wanting to walk through more of the hotels, ride the roller coaster on New York, New York, and have a romantic dinner with my husband on Friday evening after everyone else has flown home. I am also hoping we may have time to squeeze in a show, however we haven't purchased tickets for anything, so we have to see about that when we get there.

On the other hand, while we're away, my mom & dad will be watching Nicholas for us. Nicholas spends two days a week with my mom while I am at work so they are very close, but I know I am going to miss him terribly while we're away. I can't stand to be away from him for very long-6 hours (while I am at work) is about all I can handle-so 3 days is going to be torture! I know he's going to enjoy his time with Gramme & Grandpa because they spoil him like crazy, but I have a feeling this mama is going to be calling home quite often just to hear his sweet little voice!
