(I know, you are SO disappointed!! I can hear the crying now through my computer.... oh, okay, alright, enough!! So we'll share just a LITTLE bit....)
We headed to Vegas Thursday night. It was a good drive, with lots of time for Joe and I to talk and laugh. (and yeah, so, um, I slept a little bit too... hey, it had been a busy week!)
Thursday evening was fairly uneventful, but we were up fairly early on Friday morning to head here for our skydiving adventure. (For those of you who don't know, Joe asked to go skydiving for his birthday. He has decided that life is too short, and you should just do the things that you've always wanted to do. Note things that 'he' wanted to do...) Unfortunately, after suiting up and waiting for a little over an hour, we found out that the winds were TOO high and we were not going to be able to jump that day. (this was disappointing, but also VERY reassuring because we knew that they were taking the whole thing very seriously and putting safety above all else!) They asked us to come back the next day at 7:30 a.m. for another try....
Friday night we went and saw Love at the Mirage. AMAZING. Seriously, AMAZING. I have NEVER seen anything like it. The music was amazing, the show was amazing, the stage was amazing..... I was blown away. We managed (at about 4 p.m. in the afternoon) to score FRONT ROW tickets to the 9:30 show. I had SO much fun.... and we stayed up soooo late.
Saturday morning arrived very early! But, we were off to try the skydiving thing AGAIN. Thank goodness the wind was calm this time and we actually got to jump.
Here's a photo of us pre-jump... (I look so AMAZINGLY calm....)
(No, we didn't buy my video. Trust me, the videos were WAY expensive, and so we decided that just one would be okay.... plus, Joe had bought me front row tickets to Love the night before.... )
I have to admit that I was not that excited about this whole experience... I was going to be with Joe while he had this 'once in a lifetime' experience... but in all honesty, it was pretty AMAZING. I was not a fan of the free fall, but once that parachute opened and I was just drifting down... looking at the beautiful scenery... there is nothing like it. If you have never done it... I would really suggest giving it a try! (We need to give a shout out here to Vegas Extreme Skydiving, and our new BESTEST friends... Jake and Brad. They took very good care of us.... and I don't think either of us have ever been "closer" to a strange man before...)
After skydiving, pretty much everything else seems a little, well.... boring. We did some shopping, I played a few penny slots, and we spent some time by the pool. We had a really good time Saturday night- we had a great dinner and then spent a few hours rocking it at the Bar at Times Square in the New York New York. I am a HUGE fan of dueling piano bars, and this one is the BEST. We had lots of fun (and... shh.. don't tell him I told you... but Joe actually DANCED with me!!) Here's the one requisite shot of me all dressed up.... (sorry, no couple photos, we just didn't think to ask someone to take our picture!)
Sunday morning we enjoyed a buffet breakfast and then headed home.... back to reality....
It was a great trip and just what the doctor ordered... for both of us! We needed to recharge our batteries, and this trip was just what we needed before the craziness of the last month of school hits.... now to look forward to our summer vacation in San Juan Capistrano!
Have a great one....
