We had a little issue with our flight out to Vegas being delayed so we headed to a restaurant in the airport, ordered brunch, a cocktail & made the best of our 2 hour flight delay.
We finally were able to board our flight & by then these Mama's were READY!!!
VEGAS here we come :)
The flight attendants are always so fun on Southwest flights to Vegas. One of the ladies asked us what we wanted to drink & of course we ordered a cocktail. Then she asked us if we were celebrating a special occasion & we said "YES - a much deserved weekend away without our children" LOL :) I guess she was super impressed we were having a Mommy Getaway because she didn't charge us for our drinks & we had even ordered 3 rounds!
Right as we were getting off the plane we thanked her for the cocktails & she told us how awesome it was that we were taking some time for ourselves & to enjoy it! So nice!!
We made it to Vegas without any issues & had called for a Lyft to our hotel (which is much cheaper than an Uber by the way). We stayed at The Mirage & little did the girls know that I had a little surprise for them once we got checked in.
I had our key cards & we headed towards the elevators. I started heading to the suite elevators & Sara informed me I was going to the wrong ones. That is when I told them we were headed the right way & that I had booked us a suite for the weekend. It was well worth the extra money just seeing the looks on their faces!
We got up to our room & it was amazing. It had the remote control blackout shades, a living room with a huge flat screen TV, big dining room, huge master suite & master bathroom with the other bedroom on the other side. It was beautiful & we were all so giddy as we checked it all out. The girls let me have the master suite since I was the one that had gotten it for us & they stayed on the other side. I can't tell you enough how amazing it sounded to sleep in a king size bed by myself without a foot to my stomach or an arm to my face or a husband laying next to me snoring. Pure bliss :)
We had tickets to see the Britney Spears concert that evening so we all got cleaned up & dressed up before we made our way out to the hotel for dinner.

We ended up going downstairs & eating at a little taco place & had a cocktail & then made our way over to Planet Hollywood for the Britney Spears concert.
We got there a little early so we just hung out in our seats talking & enjoying the music & people watching. Eventually Britney came out on stage & despite lip-syncing the entire show it ended up being really good.
After we got back to the hotel we all crashed. Unfortunately I was awoken by my cell phone ringing shortly after I had fallen asleep. Shane was calling me & knowing it was 3am back home I didn't have a good feeling about answering the phone.
Turns out Mason had a high fever, was throwing up every 30 minutes & wouldn't keep any medicine or water down & Shane was worried. I tried to reiterate that he was doing everything I would be doing & to just lay with him with a bowl & a cool cloth on his head/neck. He let me go & then of course I laid there worrying about the both of them the whole night feeling horrible mommy guilt for being in Vegas while my baby was sick & probably just wanting his Mama :( Ugh I hardly slept a wink all night.
Of course we were all awake by 6am "Vegas-time" because of the time difference so we all got up, got showered & went to have breakfast. I filled the girls in on what was going on at home & they knew I was worried. Shane let me know that Mase was finally sleeping & hadn't thrown up in a few hours so I was able to relax a little bit after hearing that. I ended up FaceTiming with him later in the morning & felt SO much better after seeing him & talking with him knowing he was ok.
Ok - I can now relax & enjoy day 2 of our Vegas getaway!!! Bring it on.....
