After a week without my winter coat, gloves, boots, and snow…I’m sure you can see why!
The weather in Las Vegas started in the 50’s, but all of the sunshine felt incredible! I went for a run outside, walked everywhere, and even spent a day hiking in Red Rock Canyon.
Yesterday morning was the warmest day of them all in the 60’s. We had to check out of our hotel but hung on to the room key so we still had access to the pool, where we hung out for 2 hours soaking up some much needed Vitamin D.
It was such a busy week that I it wasn’t until we landed back at O’hare late last night that I remembered it was still actually winter. We lost about 50 degrees of warmth in transit back to the midwest. At the airport, I grabbed everything I could find in the BOY’s car to pile on myself to try to keep warm while he scrapped off the ice.
Although it’s always nice to come home, I am really missing the sunshine and warmth. Especially today with the brutal cold! We have a nice quiet Monday to transition back to the real world (and the 2 hour time difference) before diving back into the work week tomorrow. I will make some time to share our Vegas adventures soon because we really had a fun time and some FANTASTIC meals!
Shoot, I totally forgot to respond re: restaurant suggestions! What a punk, sorry!! But sounds like you had no problem finding great food. The 50 degree temp change sounds rough. Maybe you should have missed your flight 🙂
We definitely ate it up right! We had some fantastic meals!
What a fun little trip, glad you enjoyed the sun and warmth out here on the West coast! 🙂
Me too!
You have to be so happy to be out of the midwest this winter!
Looks like you had a great time! I’m so jealous that you were able to escape, but I’m sure coming back to yesterday’s terrible wind chills was a rude awakening! I’m glad you enjoyed your vacay!
It was really sad to come back. I forgot I could be this cold!!! I heard we may get 40’s this weekend so I am keeping my fingers crossed for some sunshine. Until then, I’ll have to just look at my pictures 🙂
AH SO JEALOUS!!!! Can I come in your suitcase next time? I am so desparate for some sun sun sunnnn
Yes! I totally agree! We will definitely appreciate summer this year!
WOW I am insanely jealous of your weekend away. This winter is for the birds I need it to go away asap. I’m happy you enjoyed some better weather. Now send some of it my way 🙂
I wish I packaged it up in my suitcase. I heard the east is getting the worst of it this week. Man, it has been a rough winter. When is spring???
I’m sooooo jealous of you! Not only because I’ve never been to Vegas but because I haven’t seen the sun in forever it seems. I’m so excited for higher temps next week! I’m looking forward to more pictures! Enjoy Vegas Life and please keep breaking the “what happens in Vegas” rule.
I will! I just need to find some couch time to share my pictures : ) You definitely need to take a trip out West to Sin City. There is a lot to do and see and much better weather!
Ooohhh! I can’t wait to hear about your meals. I love Vegas!!! Keep warm!
My mouth is still watering thinking about the amazing food we ate : ) Post coming soon…I think!
Sounds like you had a great trip! I would not have wanted to leave the sunshine either! can’t wait to read your recaps!
I can’t wait to find the time to share them…ha ha! I hope there is more sunshine again soon!
[…] Staying in for dinner tonight is perfect. I am exhausted adjusting back to the cold weather and early morning work week. I got up before 6am for my strength class yesterday and Cooper […]
