I traveled by myself. Met a gun and ammo dealer, a professor from Ole Miss, a game engineer, and a young soldier.
While there, I stayed at The Luxor with my cousin that I haven't seen in a long time. We hung out by the pool and relaxed.
Witnessed another cousin get married! And got to know his new wife a bit. That was a lot of fun!
Learned a valuable lesson about Las Vegas. Taxis will NOT pick you up on the strip! You have to be at a hotel or a designated taxi pick up spot. This is very important knowledge that was not given to us!
The trip was quick, but FULL of fun! It was strange to be responsible for just myself. I could eat my food at a leisurely pace, I didn't have to count kids every few minutes, and I got to talk to people without being interrupted or distracted.
Don't get me wrong, I missed my kids and husband. However, it was nice to step away for a bit and be reminded that I am also still a person and not just a mom.
I am very thankful that I have a husband that will send me on a trip to see family and tell me to stop calling and enjoy my time away! And no, I did not call constantly! :)
The highlight of coming home was having our youngest scream mommy, run at me, fling his arms around me, and cling and pat my back for a full 10 minutes! The rest were happy to see me too, but none of them showed that level of excitement! I think the rest are secure enough to know I'll come back! ;)
What I realized while I was away was that I want to take a trip with just my husband. And that in 2-5 years, I am planning an adults only trip. All friends and family will be invited to come too. :D
