Josh and I got away for a few days (over a month ago), just the two of us, and headed to Las Vegas! Josh has been wanting to see Garth Brooks for some time and we never made it on a trip for our 5 year anniversary so .... 6+ years, an approaching 30th birthday and we were off! 3 days off work... my email turned OFF... it was heaven and to spend time just with J was so wonderful.
We got to Vegas on a Wednesday and spent that afternoon getting settled and walking the strip like your typical tourists.
We stayed at Paris Las Vegas. Location was great. We wouldn't choose the same hotel again just because we were really after a great night's sleep and the beds weren't our favorite but really... who goes to Vegas for sleep! Well, working parents of an 18 month old :). Yep, that's us.
We were really looking forward to Friday, our last full day there. We moved slow, got breakfast and our rent car and headed to Hoover Dam. We spent the afternoon at the Nevada/Arizona state line, had lunch and went on the dam tour. So amazing to see....
After a quick rest back at the hotel, we got "dressed up" for Garth and headed out. Our show was at 10:30 ... 10:30! Dinner and coffee was in order :)
It was so worth the wait and I am so glad we got to see him. That is one really, really talented guy. And ... his wife, Trisha Yearwood, joined him for a few songs. An extra fun treat!
Just Garth and a guitar.
When Saturday came, we had the best of both worlds.... the end to a great vacation and knowing we would get to see our little love that evening.
A HUGE thanks to my mom for watching Addison while were were away. Addison had the best time with her Nana and we were so thankful she was in such great hands!
