Vacation Look Back

I've looked back a couple of weeks now, and I think finally all the memories have sunk in from our Vegas trip. You know that feeling when you are actually in the moment doing your activities, it takes you another moment to realize all you've done.


I will never forget our 8 course meal at Aureole. This is the top of the list for fine dining in Vegas. This place has been featured on the travel channel. The restaurant has a multiple story wine cellar. We watched a lady scaffold to get a bottle of wine. We had our very own wine steward, 5 men helping us, ate duck, lamb, and other new things for the both of us. We even watched 3 swan over the course of diner. If I had three words to describe this experience they would be: intimate, mouth watering, amazing.


We enjoyed watching the Criss Angel show "Believe" at the Luxor. We recommend this show if you like Wade Robson's choreography. He is from SYTYCD (So You Think You Can Dance) FYI, if you have not seen this show, they are now in season 6, and they picked the top 20. Stay tune on your Fox network as it is worth every dance to watch.


Finally I really enjoyed our down time with Allen's cousin and wife. We saved money by staying a couple of nights w/them, and grilling. We even roasted marshmallows and made smores one night.


We made it to our 2ND October Fest in Fredericksburg w/our friends Craig & Kaylan. My sister, Brittany and her boyfriend, Chad also came down for the festival. Read more on our weekend over at Steppin' up to the Eastepp's blog. She did an awesome job at posting our weekend.


Again three words to describe this weekend would be: Winery's, Beer, Brats.


I now officially feel better for posting our post vacation update!
