He's legal! :)
This is a huge milestone so, of course, we had to go big or go home with the celebration.
That can only mean one thing in my family........Vegas!
Jim and I met Garrett and Maci in Sin City the weekend of Halloween and celebrated hard for 48 straight hours. Let me tell you......that is one WILD city......and we loved every single second of it.
Jim's sisters - Carol and Ann Marie - arranged to have a limo pick Garrett and Maci up from the airport and drive them to the hotel. Cool, right???
I don't think the limo driver (above) was the sharpest tool in the shed. Garrett asked him a question about gambling and he started rambling about prostitution. Yikes!! They still had a great time on the drive over. :)
We stayed at Ballys Hotel & Casino and it was amazing!
The view from our room.....
And the view from Garrett and Maci's room.....
Let's push pause for a second so I can share with you the scene in our bathroom after we got checked in. Do you think Jim may have an OCD problem???
Back to the action. We started exploring and only my child could find this sign....
The first night ended with us taking a tour of Caesar's Palace. Garrett is OBSESSED with the Hangover movies and wanted to see where they were filmed. We ate at the buffet - ask Jim about the buffet and you'll see his head explode. After standing in line for about an hour, the buffet charge was $250+ for the four of us. Seriously......Jim's head will literally explode if you ask him about his. LOL! :)
None of us went to bed that night. This was pretty much the scene the entire night....
By the looks of every person in that photo, no one was winning that hand. :) All's well that ends well. Everyone had such a good time. Garrett definitely took advantage of the free cocktails and tried almost every drink on the menu. :)
We took a stroll down the strip before the Halloween festivities began. You would not believe the costumes we saw!!! I am not exaggerating when I say that 30% of the males in the city were dressed in drag.......thongs, belly shirts, fake boobs.....you name it!
We hit the Hard Rock Cafe for supper on Saturday night. The waitress had the entire restaurant sing to Garrett as he chugged a cocktail. I thought this was hilarious so I won't be receiving any nominations for mother-of-the year. :)
Finally, on Sunday morning we dragged ourselves back to the airport. Garrett and Maci didn't have a direct flight back to Dallas. They had to change planes in Minneapolis. After Jim and I walked them to their gates, Jim and I had to say goodbye.
This momma was a mess! An ugly-crying, snot-slinging mess. Poor Jim was probably so embarrassed but he was sweet enough not to say so. :)
What a fun weekend! Dang it went by so fast.
Happy birthday Garrett!! I hope you had a ball.
