More Celebrating

As if a surprise party wasn't enough! My husband also planned a surprise for me. We had two of my young women (twin sisters) come over on Friday around 2:00 pm and sleep over until Saturday. We took off downtown. When we got there, we pulled up to the WYNN hotel and Jared told me we had 5:30 dinner reservations to the SW steak house and 7:00pm tickets to LA REVE.

(The hotel Lobby, the Wynn rooms have orange walls with art work of brightly colored flowers.....a theme carried throughout the hotel)

We checked in which took forever, but made some friends with all of our fellow Las Vegas visitors who we have a lot in common with, (yeah, right huh).

Dinner was delicious! We had amazing bacon cheese rolls with sea salted butter, yummy salad and dressing with a kick, and then our steaks. My filet mignon was to die for. I love filet mignon. We had asparagus and au graten potatoes for sides. Jared ordered the ribeye which was good, but not as good as mine, even though so many people claim it is. (this is a cycle jared goes through about every 5 years of our marriage--needing to test the ribeye again to see if it is as good). We love a good steak!
Our view while eating dinner
"La Reve" was amazing. It is "The dream" in French. Probably my favorite show yet. Maybe a tie with "LOVE". Anyway, it had a bit of a story line which was a nice change of pace from the weird (but awesome) 'no plot' other shows I have seen in Vegas. The stage was water and then parts of it would come up and there was a lot of classical style dancing in it. A must see!!

35 here we come (jared will be there in 5 weeks!)
We enjoyed the pool the next morning before heading home. Due to no other loungers being available, we got the honor of resting our stuff on loungers in the European style pools. Yes that does mean tops are optional. We did all our swimming at the other pools, so as not to take in any of the atmosphere, but couldn't help but noticing some grand tetons on our way in and out. (YIKES!!)
Love it

Isn't it ironic that you can have a great weekend outing with expensive dining, show tickets, and gorgeous room.....and the one thing you'll probably remember 10 years from now is the European style sunbathing experience??? Its always the quirky things that make the long term memories. Thanks for planning such a fun 24 hour date Jared.....happy 12th anniversary and 35th birthday to me!
