Myers' Vegas Vacation

I should probably make it clear from the get go that this wasn't technically a vacation for Jearen. I was lucky enough to have my boss approve me to take off two days of work BEFORE Spring Break began. This however, was a work trip for my husband, and that is exactly what he did. I will try to keep this post brief, but with the amount of pictures I want to show, we shall see how that goes, haha. I left Dallas Love Field Wednesday night on my own. I am a sucker for anything "sky" so seeing a beautiful sunset in Dallas and beautiful lights flying into Vegas made my heart happy!

Jearen picked me up from the airport & we cruised the streets of Vegas. My first take of this city was that it didn't seem real. I felt as if I had been strolling through a carnival, with all the lights, attractions & people. We ate dinner at Max Brenner's Chocolate by the Bald Man in Caesar's Palace, and the dessert was sooo good!

Thursday was a full day spent at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

 That evening we had a date at a restaurant called Simon at the Palms. We enjoyed steak & seabass (not me of course! I'm not a seafood lovin' gal), followed by a dessert plate that included cotton candy! 

Friday was a rainy day at the track, and left us with not a lot to do. Saturday was a fun day. I got to see the beginning of the race with Jearen on some VIP level area, ran into Kid Rock & Jimmy Johnson, and spent the day admiring how hard my husband works.

 That evening we took a few hours to walk around the strip. I LOVED the fountains at the Bellagio, and felt like a little kid as I squealed and awed at the show! We walked through several hotels and had lots of fun taking pictures. Prior to the trip I had several friends tell me that they couldn't wait to see pictures because they were going to live vicariously through me, but I have to disappoint some, and say we DID NOT GAMBLE. Not once, not even the penny slots. It just isn't our thing and is not how we want to spend our money, and we are ok with that :). So for those of you hoping I'd be bringing back the Benjamins, sorry! We had dinner that night at The Sugar Factory, which was basically like a loud club that served food, haha. Jearen loved it, and I'll admit...after a few minutes of getting over how loud it was, I enjoyed it too. 

Sunday, oh Sunday. That was a BUSY day at the race track, with the final race going on. I had become quiet the goofball around Jearen, and especially when I'm around Nascar fans. I had a blast being around my husband for an entire week and I was glad to keep him company. 

Hope you come back for one heck of a surprise from my husband....a trip to the GRAND CANYON!! :)
