Vegas Part I

Last weekend we got away. This was our first trip away from Ascher. I have left Ascher with Justin and vice versa but we haven't gone away just the two of us since he has been born. It was so much fun to just be Justin and Lauren again. We drove to Kingwood Friday afternoon to drop off the bubby. Once he was asleep for the night we drove over to Ragan & Brad's to spend the night since our flight left at 7:15 on Saturday morning. We left the house at 5:00 and got to airport pumped and excited about our vaca!! 

Can't you tell how excited we are for being up so early?

ready for take off!

I had the best seat- I was in between my hubby and SIL! : ) 

Granted- Justin went to sleep on the plane but Ragan and I chatted the whole time. We had a blast before 7 am. (Two hour time change- so we left Houston at 7, had a three hour flight but landed in Vegas at 8 am). It was the most fun I've ever had on a plane! Once we got there we split up because we were staying at Venetian and they were staying at MGM. So we tried to check in, dropped off our luggage and started exploring. 

I had never been to Vegas so I was in awe. I couldn't believe the homeleess people holding signs that said "Why lie? I need beer!" AWFUL! We started walking towards the MGM and walked and walked and walked. 

We finally met up with them and walked back to Margartiaville. We had a lunch which was WAY overpriced and the food was NOT that good. I was highly disappointed and left hungry and with a headache. Ragan & Brad walked back down to our hotel with us and checked it out. We spotted Justin Timberlake on our way and had to stop and say Hi. ; ) (he is wax)

And of course we had to take some pictures...

After walking around a bit- we went and waited for our luggage so we could go up to our room and take a nap before all meeting back up later that night. 

Well...that was the plan anyways- I had a headache but figured if I took a nap I'd wait up and feel better. Wrong. I woke up and it was a million times worse!! I thought if I just got up, got ready -- ate some dinner and took some advil I'd be ok. 

So we walked down to the little store and get me some advil- however at this point I feel like I'm gonna vomit and my little headache has turned into full blown migraine. I can't take the advil because I think I'm gonna throw up so we trek over to Harrahs to get tram tickets and head to MGM...well I had to make a pit stop in the MGM bathroom and decided it would be better if we went back to hotel room. BOOO! I always get a headache on vacation! It sucks! So we went back to room where Justin told me go to sleep--- oh right? No can do when your head feels like its gonna explode. Justin went and got himself some dinner & brought it back to room. Finally around 9 I took some advil and was able to go to sleep. So basically I went to sleep that afternoon, woke up and went back to sleep. Oh it was the worst. Poor Justin- he said he needs a new travel buddy. 

Thankfully Sunday I woke up feeling a little better- took some more advil, showered and prayed for a good day.
