Umm...Did Caesar Live Here?

A few weekends ago Ben and I went to Vegas for his brother's wedding. We got to see friends that we haven't seen much since moving to MN, & Ben's extended family members from all across the country, and of course Ben and I got a sister-in-law! We had such a great weekend!

Ben and I somewhere in Caesar's Palace


The 2nd baby Ben has ever held, he looks a little scared!


Our date night was so much fun! We had dinner at a place called Trevi inside the Forum Shops at Caesar's Palace. The atmosphere and the food couldn't have been more perfect. The boys were troopers too, I'm sure they'd rather be at the casino than out with the women. :)

Fountain of the Gods, our dinner table was right in front of it.
 
Date night!
 
Ben and friends (all of these guys were in our wedding!)

fountains at the Bellagio....
post-cry/tears of pain from walking for.e.ver to try and ride the gondolas at the Venetian.
They were sold out.... so we did this instead.
It was gorgeous! So worth all the trouble
(before we left for the night I had to go buy these ugly leggings bc it was soooo cold in Vegas!)
 
soooo pretty, I'm so glad Ben took me
 The bachelorette party was such a fun night! I planned the Chippendales party and at the time, I wasn't pregnant. I was a little afraid strangers would give me judge-y dirty looks for being pregnant and being there, but it seemed like no one really thought anything about it. I definitely broke the caffeine rule, but pregnancy exhaustion + Vegas...what can ya do? I'm sure she's fine.

After the Chippendales!! Bachelorette party night
(calm down, they don't actually take their clothes off...well, not all of them. lol!)

Even pregnant girls are allowed to have a little fun!
Our fabulous bartender kept the diet cokes coming -
 Baby Girl was dancing the whole time! She likes to party!

Bride and bridesmaids getting ready!

Ben and his brother, my MIL crying in the background :)
I have no idea who the weird Cyndi Lauper looking chic in the background is,
she must've been a guest of the prior wedding.

Wedding Party!

We had such a fun weekend!! By the end of the trip to say we were exhausted would be a total understatement. It was sooo worth it and the wedding was perfect.  I'm so glad Ben was able to get a much needed break from his daily grind. He deserved it!
