They all add up to 13 years! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY KC!
It's hard to imagine that that much time has passed, until we add in 5 homes & 5 children together :)
We had an uneventful day, but we spent it together. Kids had school, I had to run some errands, KC made some AMAZING chicken salad, and we got to go out for dinner (thanks Katie and Tony for watching the kids!). We were going to check out a new restaurant located only blocks away from our house, but an advertisement scared KC away. "Magic Dave on Tuesday Night" :)
After dinner we went to Walmart to walk the toy aisles to get ideas for Christmas, which I loved because I usually do the majority of it myself. Nice to have his input. So I took lots of pics with my phone to remind me of what we found . . . got a few ideas for him too :)

We really spoiled ourselves already this year with a trip to Vegas! I haven't shared photos, because my blog wouldn't allow it (thank you Flickr, you are now my choice for photo imports).
KC has been there a few times before, but I had never. I guess the thing that got me the most was the sheer size of everything. Hotels . . . huge. Casinos . . . huge. Drinks . . . huge. Bills . . . huge.
Too bad the pay out wasn't huge, but it's not like we didn't try :)
We stayed at Treasure Island. We were able to see and hear the pirate show a couple of times every night. We also had a great view of it from our room above :)
I know I should have sat by the pool, went to a spa . . . relaxed just a little.
But I wanted to see everything! Yes, it's true . . . I don't get out much :)
We walked and walked and walked. And then we got a bus pass, so we could see even more :)
And my favorite :)
I've never been to New York . . . . hint, hint :)
We also spend almost an entire day in old Vegas. We didn't plan to, but we love it. Old Vegas has a completely different feel. It's possible to cover a lot of ground in Old Vegas in a short amount of time, not true on the new strip.
And we made a little stop here :) I wanted to meet Chum Lee, but the line was around the corner and I will live on . . .
And my favorite night lights . . .
This photo is another dream . . . hint, hint . . . but I realize that this might be 'a few years off'
The best thing about Vegas are the shows. We were lucky enough to see two.
I loved this show. Would recommend it highly :)
I thought that was all we'd see, but we were invited to dinner and a show with (Chuck & Stacy, thank you!) . . .
Our life together started with The Beatles. We had a 60's theme wedding . . . daisy bouquets, girls with bouffant hairstyles, peace/love/happiness, Beatles grand march. Yes, we love The Beatles :)
It was great listening to all the songs. The show is much more chaotic and strange, but definitely entertaining :)
I had such a great time. Even when KC had to work at the bike trade show, I didn't stop exploring. Tried to make the most of every minute away.
But by the end of the week, I missed the kids so much. Love the time away, but there is no way to avoid missing their sweet little faces.
We returned after all the kids had been in bed, but bright and early the next morning, they all joined us in our bed, so excited to see us . . . and that feeling never gets old.
