Vegas Banaza. Happy Valentines/Birthday/Weekend get away with friends!

This trip to Vegas served a lot of purposes. We had been wanting to get away to Vegas for a while, it was a good way celebrate Valentines Days and most importantly a good way to celebrate my Birthday. We went to the show La Reve at the Wynn. Its was an amazing aquatic show. (Much cooler than it sounds.) The picture below is the stage.
On the drive down to Vegas (and the last two years that i have know Elliot) i could not stop talking about the éclairs at the Chocolate Swan. They are so painfully good!! This is my dream treat!



We gambled a few dollars... surprise surprise no one won anything.
Dinner at the Mesa Grill was delicious. We got the dessert sampler and they added a lemon meringue creme brulee as my birthday cake. It was the best creme brulee in the history of creme brulee.

6 desserts later...

Husband was so cute and wrapped my Valentines gift. It made me smile every time i looked at it.

Shot um up

We went to the shooting range this weekend, but before we went shooting we went and looked at buying a hand gun. As i had a 9mm in my hand Elliot said, " You can ether have this gun or a sewing machine." It made me laugh so hard! I picked the sewing machine, so in the mean time we rented these huge 22's. Eveyone was a little shocked that i already owned about 7 boxes of bullets.
