Yes...at 31 weeks pregnant Nat and I made our way to Las Vegas, or as Myles says "Lost Vegas". Nat's boss was kind enough to give us this opportunity since I will be too far along to go to Florida with the rest of the office in September. (Myles and Nat will still be going though!!). He is far too generous and we don't deserve any of it, but sure were grateful for the opportunity to get some alone time. Mom and dad came all the way from MN to brave the boys for all that time alone and we could not have been more relaxed when leaving. We knew the boys would be in GREAT hands, we just were hoping mom and dad would be in one piece when we got home.
We really didn't make any plans for our time out there. We wanted it to just be a relaxing time together and not the typical go go go of our daily lives. We sat by the pool, I read 1.5 books (It usually takes me about a year to read 1 book!), ate good food, and did some walking around. We did splurge while there and went to Cirque Du Soleil. It was AMAZING and worth every bit of uncomfortableness I felt after filling my pregnant self full of buffet food and then trying to sit cramped in theater seats for an hour and a half. Lesson learned...Show then buffet. It was just kind of a funny trip to realize that 5 days away from our boys was much harder than we expected it to be and that we are WAY past the "Vegas Stage" in our lives. All that being said it was WONDERFUL to be able to sit down for a meal with Nat and have adult conversation and be able to just be with each other while our boys were in wonderful hands and having far more fun than we could ever have. :-)
