The most wonderful time of the year!!

Oh ya baby I love the World of Concrete Convention!! It is definitely one of my most favorite times of the year!! While the boys are away the girls get to play!! So on February 3rd Eric and I and Eric & Charlotte Pottle jumped on a plane to Vegas. We got to stay at the new Vdara at the City Center and we loved it!!! Seriously the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in with the most amazing pillows (that by the way you cannot buy anywhere because we actually tried!!!) It is a beautiful, clean hotel with NO casino which equals NO smoke every time you walk through the lobby! Wednesday night we went out for a nice dinner at the Bellagio buffet. YUM! We walked around a bit and had frozen hot chocolates at Serendipity (fun place!!)
Thursday the boys headed over to the convention and Charlotte and I took it easy and then headed to the spa at the Bellagio, which I have officially deemed the happiest place on earth!! Deep Coconut Surrender, there are no words for how heavenly this massage was! We spent some time in the jacuzzi, did a little reading, I sweated off a couple pounds in the steam room and then we headed for an equally as heavenly pedicure! I am thankful for friends who have ruined me by introducing me to the finer things in life. We went to dinner at a reeeally good Brazilian restaurant and of course at way to much. It was a fabulous day!
Friday we had a great breakfast at the Bellagio, the boys went back to the room to work and Charlotte and I went shopping! I'm telling you it was such a torturous trip (wink, wink).
That night we went and saw the newest Cirque Du Soleil show Viva Elvis. We knew it wouldn't be anything like the other ones we have seen but we weren't really sure what to expect, I loved it! The music was fun and it kind of had a little bit of everything and was the perfect finale to this trip!

Our original plan was to fly home Saturday morning but I kind of had a change of plans.
Tuesday before we left my sisters had decided to take a last minute trip to Utah to surprise our sister Missi. Obviously with the short notice I wasn't going to go but it just wasn't sitting well. I felt really strongly that even though the timing was horrible I should really try to go.
It took a little shuffling but we are truly blessed with such good kids and amazing friends, we worked it out! My sister grabbed a few extra things from the my house for me and the 3 of them left Friday evening and stayed in a hotel a couple blocks from ours. They picked me up Saturday morning to drive to Utah. I left poor Eric hanging to fly home with Eric and Charlotte. I hope he knows how much I love and appreciate his support and understanding!! It was a great getaway and we love spending time with the Pottles, great conversation, a lot of laughing and great memories! We are already looking forward to next year!!!
