27w4d--Las Vegas Trip

We got home last night from a 5 day trip to Las Vegas. We had a blast. We are completely broke...but what a GREAT time! I had a 3 day seminar for work, so Paul decided to come along for the fun. We used some of my frequent flyer miles for the plane ticket and my room was paid for by my company, so he basically went for free. We stayed in the Golden Nugget which is downtown as opposed to the "strip." It was actually a lovely hotel. And there were a lot of smaller casinos in our area that were less intimidating than the big ones on the strip, so we were able to gamble a bit without being "experts." We arrived Saturday night, and spent a little time gambling. We bought some cards and a Black Jack card...and then practiced Black Jack in our room for the rest of the night. We gambled on Sunday. For the rest of the time we were there, I had classes all day. Paul spent his days walking around, watching other people and gambling. We spent the evenings together at the casinos. It was so fun. One night we found a little teddy-bear making shop and made a special teddy bear fro little Jack. It is such a cute little old-fashioned bear. We each chose a little felt heart and made wishes on them and placed them inside the Teddy. This will be Jack's most special bear from his Mom and Dad. It was so nice to be away alone with Paul. We haven't had a vacation together in over 5 years! I love him so much. We had a great time. Oh, and I DO NOT have gestational diabetes!!!! Yay!!!!
