Vegas & Dalton's 36th Birthday!!!!

So....after my LONGEST post ever and the internet going down...I have FINALLY gotten up the nerve to try this again!

Dalton and I left on Thursday morning for Vegas. He has always wanted to attend the Safari Club International trade show, so he was super excited! This was the 1st time we have been away without the kids since we had them (other than quick over night trips!) ~ so after 7 1/2 years, I'd say we were "due" for some alone time!

After we got there on Thursday, we toured around the hotel and I gambled a whole $5...and was SICK I lost it! I just don't "get" the point of gambling ~ it's wasting money...I'd much rather have something to show for my $5! :)

Things is Vegas were EXPENSIVE! If you are going ~ SAVE lots of money! We ate at one place and the cheapest burger was $16 and the most expensive was $60! And that did not include fries! Woowee!!!

Friday, I went to the trade show with Dalton. It was fun to look around and see all the places you could hunt (or he could hunt!) and neat things made from animal skins. There was the PRETTIEST zebra chair and rug ~ If Dalton ever kills a zebra ~ I know what to do with it! :)

Friday night, we ate at The Verandah ~ I was still full from my $20 hamburger, but it was good! :) Saturday, I went to check out the outlet mall, did LOTS of people watching and read some! Very relaxing!

Saturday was Dalton's 36th birthday and we ate at the Delmonico Steak House. It was hands down the best meal I have ever eaten! The steak was BEYOND delicious!!! After dinner, we walked over The Bellagio to watch the fountain show!

It was SO pretty and my favorite spots on the strip! If we ever go back, I want to stay there!


sunday morning, we left EARLY and headed back to GA! We came home to a dark house...the kids had planned a surprise bday party for their Daddy!

Happy Birthday Daddy!!!!

They had done some extra chores to earn some money to buy their daddy some gifts! He got fishing bait, Red Hots, cherries, and snickers ~ all his favs!

Dalton bought mary dalton & I matching sterling silver/gold bracelets made from elephant hair ~ sounds crazy but they are beautiful and match my david yurman perfectly!!! mary dalton has not taken hers off yet!!!

There wasn't much for jackson at the show ~ but dalton took him to buy a new bb gun later that week, so he wasn't left out! :)

And all good things, must come to an end.....back to laundry!!!!

We had a great time and it was so nice to have time with dalton! A big thank you to Dalton's mom, sister, my friend Clairissa and Chelsey for taking care of the kids while we were gone!!!
