So you know how the old saying goes: “what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas”. Well, you guys know me, I don’t abide by those rules, my life is an open book for you, the reader, and Vegas is no exception. So I’m getting ready to give you all the nitty gritty, down & dirty details of my recent Vegas trip! And I do mean everything. Prostitutes, check! Vegas scams, check! Staying up until the wee hours of the night, check!!! This trip was one to be remembered, unfortunately not for the typical reasons that you may think.
This weekend we did the unthinkable, we ditched our kids and hit the road for a weekend of fun and excitement. We were childless parents and it felt great! No diapers to change, no monster trucks to play with, no responsibility what so ever. There lies the problem, its been so long since we’ve had the opportunity to look after only ourselves that when it came, we didn’t know how to act. That’s why I have come to the conclusion that parents need kids, it keeps balance in our lives. We regulate their actions and in return regulate our own because we know in the morning, they’ll be there and they’ll be ready for action.

This past weekend we took our first “real” family vacation together. We went to Wrightsville Beach in Wilmington, NC and stayed at the Marriott in continuation of Fefe’s birthday celebration. Don’t get me wrong, we’ve gone on family vacations before but it’s always been to visit friends or family. This is the first time we’ve gone to a destination specifically for the purpose of visiting an event or attraction at that location.
