vegas or bust...

The week after Christmas, Jeremy and I bailed.
We needed a break from everything!
So, we headed off to Vegas.
The plan was to fly using Jeremy's airport benefits.
Nice, right?
Unless you get bumped off at 5:00 in the morning.
(the joys of stand-by...)
So, we decided to drive!
Snowstorm, schnowstorm!
What snowstorm?
Oh... you mean the giant black mass of clouds that reach
all the way to the ground in front of us?
Well.....
Vegas or bust.
Seriously.
We need this.

We, happily, made it. Just skirting that storm
and had a wonderful time!
Bonus:
We got upgraded to a suite.
A Vegas style suite.
SWEET!

Why.... might you ask, are we not in any of the pictures?

Because we're dorks and didn't take any! :)


Have you seen the movie "Despicable Me"?
We brought the kids souveniors of.....
The EIFFEL TOWER!!!!
(the little one...
from Vegas)
And....
The STATUE OF LIBERTY!!!
(also from Vegas)
:)
We had a wonderful time
and enjoyed every second together.
Then,
we drove very carefully home
to two feet of snow.
(No wonder everyone was so worried about that darn storm! Ha!)

How nice to get away! We were at home thinking people must be crazy to travel during that storm! Glad you were safe!

So glad you had some time together. I am sure you would have figured out some way to stay warm had you actually got caught in the storm.... tee hee

Those little get-aways are worth every flake of snow you would have to drive through. Glad you made it safely!
