Viva Las Vegas!

To celebrate our 10th anniversary, Daniel and I took a trip to Las Vegas this past week! He'd been a couple of times for work, but I'd never been. We stayed at the Monte Carlo and walked up and down the strip a few times and played in lots of the casinos. We ate dinner at a couple of yummy buffets and then a delicious steakhouse on our last night. On Monday night we went to see "Love," the Cirque du Soleil show set to Beatles music (thanks to my parents who treated us to the tickets)...it was fantastic!! Thanks Grammy for coming to stay with the kids while we were gone!
