Vegas and Big Bear

I know it seems like we're always going somewhere (and while that may be true) but our trips are very cost conscious!! The hubby gets free cabins in Big Bear so we've decided to take full advantage of it. We've gone 4 times now and we're already planning our next 2 trips. Our Vegas trip was cost conscious since our room at the Paris was free and we used a coupon for our fancy dinner thanks to Restaurant.com.

Anyway, here's our Vegas trip recap:
Hubby is back on nights (Boo!!) so we had to do a little napping before we left for Vegas. Think we left around noonish or so? Maybe 2ish? See, I can't remember sh*t. Uneventful drive, I tried to sleep but it wasn't working. Got to Vegas and walked around the mall inside the Planet Hollywood hotel. I'm partial to this place since we got hitched there. Had dinner at Cheeseburger. Very yummy burgers and pulled pork sammiches. Then we walked around the Paris for a bit and checked out one of the bars in the casino that had everyone dancing. Even some fool that gave us a few laughs. Next day was walking the Strip (in the blazing heat no less) and our fancy dinner at Aureole in the Mandalay Bay hotel. Super fancy and expensive but don't worry, we used our trusty coupon!! We left there stuffed and headed to the Hard Rock Hotel for our reason for the Vegas trip. We saw Corey Taylor of Slipknot put on an acoustic show. Pretty cool show in a small venue.



Our last day in Vegas ended at Serendipity at Caesars Palace for some breakfast/lunch and of course, dessert. Hubby had the breakfast burger which was a burger with a fried egg on it and I had the breakfast sandwich. Pretty basic sandwich but it was so good. The best part was our dessert! It was called Audrey's Can't Get Enough sundae. It had ice cream, a peanut butter pie, bananas, hot fudge, peanuts, jeez what else?? We should have just had the dessert.

Not much to say about our Big Bear trip this last weekend except it was totally relaxing. We spent the weekend at the pool, grilling yummy food, sitting out by the lake, playing pool and watching movies. Can it get any more relaxing than that?

We've been using the hubby's phone to take pics lately so I don't have any pics to share of our adventures. Maybe Santa will get me a new point & shoot this year. Hint hint!
