Just the two of us!!

In honor of our 6 year anniversary and the fact that life has just been absolutly crazy, Matt decided him and I needed to get away for a couple days. Last weekend we took off on a mini get away drove for 5 - 6 hours and stayed in Vegas for the weekend. Matt's mom took the boys for the weekend and got to enjoy a couple real sleepover "Nana nights."

And me being the blogger that I am. Took pictures all weekend to "document" the excitement.

At the truck stop in Beaver the air dryer in the restroom was so powerful it litterally looked like it was going to blow the skin right off my hand.

I found this to be quite amusing. I had to take a picture. Matt said he could hear me laughing all the way out in the store. Some lady told me to stick my face under it and she'd take my picture. I should of but just couldn't bring myself to do it.

I absolutely love the huge rock mountains that are on both sides of the freeway between Arizona and St. George. The keep me in aw the whole time we are driving through. Totally gorgeous!

Finally got to Vegas. We stayed at the Palace Station. Off the freeway not the strip. From what I took in from the strip we were better off with our hotel away from there.

Poor Matt had a root canal the day before and he spent most of the weekend in so much pain. He kept trying to tough it out without taking the pain meds. But he managed to have some fun.

We did try out a game called KENO. (sp?) We spent $2 and picked 20 numbers. Than when the computer picked their numbers you win $ for how ever many numbers match. We actually won $10. We wasted that money and tried the slots. I can't handle wasting money so after losing $5.50 I said no more. But that was the extent of my gambling habit. :)

We only really ate out twice. We ate breakfast at the Hotel's cafe. And ate at the biggest buffet I had ever seen in my life. I ate so much I thought was seriously going to be sick. It was funny all weekend long as I was supposed to be having a break and relaxing I found myself thinking Mason would like this or if Mattix was here I'd save these grapes for him. I sure missed them.

What Vegas trip would be complete without a trip to M&M world? Especially if you and your honey's initial's are "M & M."
We walked for like 3 hours looking for this place and realized we hadn't walked far enough. It was down further. But we finally found it.

The cheap'O that I am refused to buy this totally darling necklace dispite the deeper meaning it held. I couldn't bring myself to pay that much for something like that. But it sure was cute. So I took a picture.

And of course we had to play in the gift shop. Try on hats and other goofy things.

I thought I looked rather hot.

Apparently so did Matt!

The lovely couple on their Anniversary. 6 whole years and if feels like we've been together so much longer. (that's a good thing)

Me falling into the fountain.

We happened to run into a couple stars at the Flamingo!

They weren't shy, they even let us take pictures with them.

At the end of the night we were walking back down the strip to head back to our car. We stopped at Treasure Island. I remember how cool the show "used to" be. FYI ~ it's awful. I wouldn't even take the time to see it again. And during this trip I totally realized that Vegas (at least what I saw of it) my friends is NOT a place to take your kids. You can't look up down or around without being bomb barded with nasty dirty stuff. I think I got my lifetime of boobs in. Thanks ladies.
But all in all it was a very good weekend. It was nice to take a break from life and spend some much needed time with Matt. We don't get out much alone. But when we do I love every minute of it. Thanks again Gail and Woody for taking the boys.

Happy Anniversary my Love!

6 year down and eternity to go! I am so happy I get to share it with you!
