Vegas/Zion Birthday Trip

We took a birthday trip to Vegas this year with the Saliba's and had an absolute blast.  We flew in early Wed, so we had all day to walk the strip and check out the hotels.  It had been over 10 years since I had been there.  The temp was in the 80's, so we were soaking up the sun!   We stayed at New York, New York that night and grabbed a bite to eat at one of the pubs before heading out to the Cirque du Soleil show Mystere.  It was a great show! The next day we picked up the Saliba's at the airport and drove to Zion National Park.  My parents had been there and highly recommended it.  It was beautiful!  We took a couple of small hikes that night where D announced she was pregnant with baby #2 (she did amazing the whole trip)!  The next morning we took a 4 hour hike to Observation Point, which had spectacular views in and out of the Canyon. We ate lunch at a really cute cafe near the entrance to the park and drove back to Vegas after to check into the Monte Carlo.  We had dinner reservations at RM Seafood and went out dancing after.  It was great to feel young again (just what I wanted for my birthday!) Saturday morning we had breakfast at Mon Ami Gabi in the Paris Hotel.  The food was outstanding and since it was another gorgeous day, it was great to sit outside on the patio.  After a couple of hours at the restaurant we got into our suits and headed to the pool before packing up for our 1st class flight home!  This was the first time I had flown first class and it might be a little hard to go back!  The kids were waiting outside with Gram when we got home, it was so cute to see their excited faces when we drove up.  I missed them a ton, but appreciated the time we had away with friends.  Thanks Gram and Chris for taking such good care of them, it was great to hear how much fun they had too!
