Our Trip to Las Vegas

I mentioned a while back that Jeff and I were taking a long awaited trip to Vegas. Ever since we got married, we hardly had time for a vacation that was just the two of us. We love spending time with our families but we often put our "us" time on the back burner. So our Christmas present to each other for 2008 (yes, last year) was a trip to Vegas.

We took a 5 day trip to Vegas during the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend. Instead of turkey and stuffing, it was gambling, shopping, and sightseeing. Since this was our main vacation of the year, we decided to stay at a nicer hotel - the Venetian. It's considered an older hotel on the strip but it's still looks pretty new.

Here are some highlights of our trip:
- We booked a tour to go to the Grand Canyon. It was Jeff's first time to the Grand Canyon. My 2nd time but it was still something to see. Took a lot of pictures but this is one case where photos just doesn't do it justice.

- I dragged Jeff to the outlet mall for 8 hrs of shopping. I don't shop that often in Ottawa (not exactly the fashion capital of the country) so when I do get a chance to shop, I go nuts.

- Jeff won at the Caribbean Poker table! Of course, that paid for the shopping from the previous day. :) Thanks baby.

- The red velvet cheesecake at the Cheesecake Factory was so good. I might even have a picture for it. :)
