What Happens In Vegas...

Friday, January 24th, 2014

My honey dropped this love note off at my hairdressers for me...pitter patter

(a little background...tried with all my might to surprise G by showing up in Vegas while he was there for an ING conference...after no luck figuring out how to get a flight and change his return flight without him knowing, I eventually nonchalantly brought up the idea of me coming in on the tail end of his week there. He was super pumped about the idea. So, from there, I went on to come up with other surprises to make it a weekend to remember!)

Me at home watching Grammy's getting soooo excited when I saw Pink on the red carpet!

Let the good times roll...

Arrived in Vegas, dropped my luggage off with Caesar's bell hop and headed over to the Paris Hotel to commence my birthday plans for my love

Texted G this picture and said, "Meet me in Paris"

(Paris was the code name of the spot where we used to go make out in high school)

A lady in waiting...

the view

My Handsome boy arrives...

just like 23 years ago...we loved being in "Paris"

 had to hit the Sugar Factory and grab a S'mores cookie on the way out :-))

Off to the Cosmopolitan to check out all their gorgeous chandeliers

Look who I run into on my way to my hotel room 

This is how we let the cat out of the bag...sent this picture of the three of us laying in George's hotel room's bed out via our Touch texting app..."SURPRISE!"

Greg leaves his afternoon meeting and comes up to find this...

ING Wine & Champagne Tasting

ING Dinner Entertainment 

(Dave, and some random, getting pic with Elvis and Tina Turner; also had Elton John who was awesome but not pictured)

Time for Momma's favorite...some Shopping!

(don't worry...Big Daddy loves him some shopping too)

Caesar's Forum Shops are just Glorious for a Fashionista!

3 Story H & M

Got this bracelet at Anthropologie since my honey's birthday is truly the "best day ever"

Late lunch at Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill

I had the most incredible salmon and G had a 10" tall burger...yummmmm

A little more Vegas venturing

The Venetian

The Wynn/Palazzo

The famous bakery Kelly B told me to be sure to visit

Expresso caramel cupcake...deliciousness

Back to the hotel to freshen up for our Big Surprise B'day Celebration Nite!

Two of our most favorite people in the world...we have traveled the world with them and cherish every fabulous memory made!

Squeal!!!!!!!

forgot to mention that we finally let b'day boy in on what we had up our sleeves for the evening...we had him guess by starting with the color on our dresses :-)

One word for the concert: INCREDIBLE

The *Lucky Charm socks had to come out for our travel back to Caesars

G literally turned 40 (on Vegas time) as we dined on a midnight snack of pizza

Saturday, February 1st

With two hours to spare before needed to head to airport, we hit the famous Fashion Mall where I found some stunning Vince Camuto shoes and some darling duds for my girlies at Forever 21. 

My honey snapping a shot of me grabbing a SB latte for the cab ride to airport.

Farewell to one of the best weekends of our lives...we weren't ready to leave yet, but as Greg always says, "better to leave wanting more" :-)

To the Love of My Love...Happy 40th Birthday! 

Wish we could do this every weekend.
