Vegas Baby!

I just got back from Vegas! It was my first time leaving Ryan with Don since Ryan has been born. I missed them both VERY much but it was a wonderful vacation and I feel like a totally new person.

I went with my brother David which was a lot of fun. We ate at amazing restaurants, explored almost every casino on the strip (one we missed was Circus Circus because who wants to run into a clown...? David and I were in agreement on that one). We went to the Beatles Love show and a comedy show. I had never been to Vegas before so the exploring was great but by the end of the trip we were both exhausted. I hope to make a habit of going on one vacation a year (sans child), and I hope they all are as much fun as this one was! I think short breaks like this are great for keeping sanity and helping to maintain a separate identity from just "mom" which makes me feel like a better parent and role model.
