Vegas, Baby!

Some time back, I whisked Ryan away for a surprise getaway to none other than Vegas. The inpiration for the trip was really our favorite comedian, Jim Gaffagin. Ryan and I LOVE him. Absolutely hillarious. Ryan really wanted to write this post (which is why it is months behind) but finally gave over the reigns due to time constraints. He would have said something dry and sarcastic about bacon and Hot Pockets so use your imagination. I think Ryan has a crush on him. :)

We stayed at the Wynn (which was amazing and very UN-vegas-esh) and had yummy drinks by the pool, lounged by the waterfall over coffee and ice cream, shopped, saw Gaffigan and were on constant lookout for celebrity sitings -apparantly someone famous is almost always at Wynn. It just so happened that the US Olympic Basketball Team was staying at our hotel that weekend; at one point we hung out for awhile about 10 feet away from Lebron James... until I decided to start snapping photos, (which by the way did not come out-sad), and got booted by their security entourage. Oh well.

We gambled a whole twenty bucks and did not win. Boo.

Had crepes in Paris. Gotta love the 1/2 size Eiffle Tower and attempts to avoid triple chins in said photos...



And I'm not sure if I've ever shared Ryan's addiction to Mardi Gras beads. He's obsessed. I'm not sure if it's the hunt or the music or what, but he beelines to the beads. No matter where we are, concerts, fairs, the Rio....he's gotta have him some beads. Haddie appreciated her new costume accessories when we got home too. :)
