VEGAS BABY!!

This would be the continuation of my previous post, Company's Coming.

As I mentioned in my last post, we have been fortunate enough to be able to make quite a few trips to PEI since our big move to SK. However, lets face it, a trip to PEI isn't really a vacation for us. I mean we love where we come from and visiting family and friends but we always spend the majority of our time there going from place to place to see people. It also seems hard to divide our time evenly with each of our families and we always worry that one side may have gotten a little more time than the other...so in a nutshell, a trip to PEI can be a little stressful. So, we made the decision in 2010 to go to Orlando, FL and we had an amazing "real" vacation. You can read all about our Florida vacation is previous blogs from 2010.

Now, with all that being said, it has been almost 7 years since Cory and I had a vacation with just the two of us. I mean, we've had the chance to get away for a night or two by ourselves when we are visiting in PEI but again, that's just not the same as a vacation. So, after some discussions we decided that with Jerome and Shirley coming to visit for 2 weeks, that it would be a great opportunity for us to go on a little vacation and they can stay with Cameron and Cadence. They were more than happy to do this for us so we began our search on what to do and where to go.

Obviously, the title of this blog post tells you that we decided on Las Vegas. We have never been there (well, I was there when I was 3 but that doesn't count) and it's somewhere we wouldn't go with our children. We are super excited about this trip. We'll be going for 4 nights and we have a long list of things we want to do while we're there but I'm sure we won't have time for everything (so, we'll just have to go back again when we get the chance). Many of our friends have been to Las Vegas and everyone says that we'll love it. There's just so much to see and do there! We're staying at Tropicana which is an older hotel but it has recently be renovated. The hotel has been getting great reviews from travelers so I'm sure we won't be disappointed. We got a great deal on hotel and flights too! It's pretty much all I've been able to think about since we booked the trip last week. I think it's definitely a much needed, long overdue vacation for Cory and I. Don't worry, I'll take lots of pictures and tell you all about when we get back.
