5-Year Anniversary

Today was our 5-year wedding anniversary! Wow! Can't believe it's flown by that quick! My wonderful husband planned a Vegas trip for us to celebrate. We flew out on Thursday morning and stayed at the New York, New York Hotel & Casino. We usually stay downtown but this was kind of a last minute trip and they were all sold out so we ended up on the strip which was a change of pace for us. It was lots of fun! We'd so do it again! Ryan had everything planned out so nicely.....we ate a late lunch downtown at our favorite Hawaiian restaurant called Aloha Specialties, then he took me to a the Venetian and we walked around, checked out the gondola rides and ate a late dinner at Delmonico's (Emeril's Steak House) on Thursday night and it was awesome! You gotta have their rib eye and save room for that banana cream pie! We were going to ride the gondola but it was all sold out by the time we were finished with dinner. Oh vell! The next day, Friday the 6th was our actual anniversary. We hung out downtown again in the day time and then headed back to our hotel to get ready to dine at the Paris Eiffel Tower Restaurant. This place was awesome! Totally romantic ambiance and a totally nice view! After all the fun we went back to our hotel and gambled a little bit. It was around 1am when we had a very scary event happen to us......there was shooting in our casino while we were on the casino floor. We & everyone started diving under the tables.....only 5 hurt and crazy, unhappy man was caught! I can't believe we saw the man and the gun firing! All so surreal! This was big....it was on the news in Vegas, everyone was talking about it and I had friends at home that saw it on the news and called me. Then when we got home it was in Saturday's OC Register paper. Wowzers!
