Will has a work conference in Las Vegas every other year or so. I've managed to tag along three times now. We have so much fun just being together. We eat a lot of yummy food (gaining 20 pounds or so over a few days) and see a couple of shows. It is relaxing and fun. The conference has lined up with my birthday for the last two years so it has been a fun birthday for me.
With no kids, we take a lot of pictures of ourselves.
We saw the show La Reve. It was really good! It was an acrobatic show like Cirque du Sole but it was in a pool with moving stage parts. It was very entertaining.
Will has to work for a lot of this trip. He works for most of the day time and I just wander Las Vegas and do what I want. We get to meet up for dinner and a show in the evening when Will is done with work.
I love having the time to myself and deciding what I want to do. As a mom, I spend most of my time doing stuff for other people. It is hard to stop the requests for help and just do what I want. When I am kid free, I get to call the shots. It is a lovely birthday present to myself.
I also do a lot of walking in Vegas. It is easy to get around if you stay on the strip and there is plenty to see. I walked, and walked, and walked. It helped offset some of the 50 thousand calories I ate every day.
