Jason is 30!

July 3 was Jason's 30th birthday. We spent the weekend of the 4th in Vegas. We had a decent time. We went with some of his best friends which actually meant this was my first time in Vegas with people that were not my family. Friday night we had dinner at Yolos Mexican Grill in Planet Hollywood. It was very good food. Afterwards, the whole group knew that Jason's one thing he wanted to do while in Vegas for his birthday was see the Bellagio fountain show. So, what do we do? We board a bus to Fremont Street.  We spent some time exploring it and the Fremont Street experience then we headed back. As Jason and I were tired from not having slept well in our Flagstaff/no AC room the night before, we went to bed and everyone else stayed out and did Vegas. Saturday, the 4th we used it as a celebration for another friend who was turning 30 on the 5th. Jason and I wandered around the Venetian and saw a wedding on a gondola and went to go see the Palazo. I loved the umbrellas they have in the transition from the Venetian to the Palazo. So pretty. With our baby fever, we were both thinking that it would be a cute idea for a nursery, if only we had a bigger room for it. One umbrella and we'd be maxed out! We made sure to hit up Serendipity 3 for the Frozen Hot Chocolate which was delicious! That night it was Musashi Japanese Steakhouse for dinner (teppan yakki). Our chef was fantastic! Very entertaining and very funny. And, the food was just wonderful. We were all pleasantly surprised. But, everyone was pleasantly surprised with the bill once they realized how many Saki Bombers they had (Jason and I thought about that ahead of time and had water to drink - we had beverages waiting in the hotel room). Afterwards, we went to see Holly Madison in Peepshow. It was cute and I don't think I can ever look at classic nursery rhymes the same way. Sadly, Sunday came and it was back to Phoenix.

Sounds like a great trip! I was wondering how Peep Show was...maybe we'll check it out next time we're in Vegas. Was she a good dancer in the show because she sucked on DWTS lol!

Nah, she wasn't very good! She still looked very stiff and uncomfortable dancing. Luckily, she didn't have to dance too much.
