Vegas!!

We were given a trip to Las Vegas from Brian's boss!! Given as in PAID FOR!! We left the Monday after Mother's Day and came back on Wednesday. It was a fast and crazy trip. We went to the COUNTRY MUSIC AWARDS!! My excitement level is still pretty high. Dr. Pepper sponsored the The Music Awards and Brian's boss was given these trips from their Dr. Pepper guy. Or what I like to call him THE MAN! From the moment we landed until the time we took off again everyone was so friendly . We stayed at the MGM Grand. The hotel was beautiful!! When we pulled up in front off the hotel Ronnie Dunn from Brooks and Dunn was standing outside. That was pretty cool. On Monday evening we went to the New Artists Awards party. The performances were amazing. They had Heartland, Kellie Pickler,Little Big Town,Craig Morgan,The Wreckers,Taylor Swift,Miranda Lambert and other artists that I can't remember. With all of the party's and awards things Dr. Pepper had planned there wasn't a lot of time for anything else. (Are you all playing that little violin for me!) We did manage to get a couple hours of sight seeing done Tuesday morning before we had to get dressed for the COUNTRY MUSIC AWARDS!! Did I mention we went to the Country Music Awards. I know how annoying I'm being but I had three days and two nights with no children(who I love dearly) in Las Vegas, just please let me have my moment!! After the awards we went to yet another party and that was probably for me the best part. The performers just got up there and did their thing. Kenny Chesney just stopped by real quick to do a song. How cool is that.And Montgomery Gentry were awesome!! Of course the time went quick but we had a ball. The kids were all in one piece when we got home and I don't see any emotional scarring yet. My girlfriend who lives next door came and stayed at our house with the kids. Since we moved into this house she has been an angel with no wings!! My kids love her and she understands how my neurotic brain works.

Unfortunately, we have no stories that have to stay in Vegas. But there is always next time!! Yes, we are planning a next time!!
