a quick getaway

Every summer Wayne has a huge ten day security conference in Las Vegas. And even though he is spending ten days in nothing but classes and talks, he loves it. It probably helps that his work hooks him up with a pretty sweet room in some fancy hotel and he gets to go out to fancy dinners and parties too. So, needless to say I was pretty excited when he asked if I wanted to join him for a couple days of nothing but relaxation.

It was wonderful, oh so wonderful.

And I know that they say that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, but I will tell you exactly what happened in Vegas;  a whole lot of sleeping, sun bathing, shopping, eating, walking, shopping, missing the kiddos, and shopping. Plus I got to meet a lot of fun people there too!

Three days was the perfect amount of time to be away.

It was a pretty fun experience. 

I loved getting away and having some just Wayne and me time. It was definitely needed and oh so wonderful, but I am glad to be back home and hearing the laughter(and cries) of the kids. Looking forward to more fun summer adventures before it's over!

I recognized your Secret Garden pics! I was there! :) My husband had a conference there 2 yrs ago and I went the whole week (kidless) with him. I agree... 5 days is too long to sit pool side and shop by yourself. 3 would have been perfect!
