Stephen in Vegas: August Edition

After enduring what seemed to be the longest month ever, Stephen finally got a chance to come to Vegas for 5 days. Out of all his visits to Vegas, this has probably been the most we've done (and the most money we have spent).

Wednesday, Day 1 All we did was pretty much run errands. Went to my dental appointment, paid for my Fall tuition, grabbed some yogurt from Yogurtland, did some shopping at H&M, and then had pho for dinner.

Thursday, Day 2 After a couple more errands (my facial appointment and getting pictures developed) we grabbed an early dinner at Raising Cane's, and then the real fun started. After talking non-stop about Shark Week, I thought he'd enjoy a little trip to the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay. Afterwards, we went to the Coca-Cola World at MGM where we tried different coke brands from around the world- do NOT trust Beverly from Italy! Then we spent a good hour and a half at Gameworks, grabbed some ice cream nearby, and then headed back home. Yeah- the most time him and I have EVER spent on The Strip.





Friday, Day 3 Not as eventful as Day 2, but still enjoyable nonetheless. The day started off babysitting Inara. Personally, I think that's his favorite part of coming to Vegas. Afterwards we grabbed an early dinner at Ichiza, went to watch Julie & Julia, grabbed yogurt again from Yogurtland, and then headed back home.




Saturday, Day 4 The day I've been waiting for! Grabbed lunch at Sammy's Dog House (aka Fatty Paradise), he watched Inara while I was a victim of the itis, and then we got ready to watch Blue Man Group at the Venetian. The show was so good! We sat front-row in the "red poncho" section. I thought we were going to get sprayed with paint, but only Stephen got his laces sprayed with "twinkie". Nevertheless, it was a good show. Comedy and music, good times. After the show we grabbed a barbeque chicken pizza and red velvet cake from the Grand Lux Cafe and then headed home.






Sunday, Day 5 It wasn't even a full day spent together. We grabbed breakfast from Einstein's, and then he left. Our last day together is always the hardest day. As much fun as we had together, I always feel so shattered on our last day.
