We began today with incredibly greasy yet unbelievably yummy breakfast sandwiches. Bacon and eggs on croissants. They were epic.
We ate them in our room and took our time in the morning. I know that its expected of us (as in people in Vegas) to get out and start walking the strip or shopping or whatever else, but we really love our downtime, so we stay cuddled up most of the morning when given the option. Our room is great, with a comfy bed and American Netflix. Although, wifi is bloody expensive. $14 per day PER DEVICE!! So I’m mildly miffed about that but we’re just biting the bullet to keep the laptop and one cell phone active at all times. Merp merp.
Once we finally dragged our butts out of bed, we snapped them into bathing suits and went on a hunt for the pool. We got tans and relaxed in the loudest pool in the world before finding the MUCH less populated and quieter pool. The “family” pool had way less people, way less music, and way more lounge chairs available. We loved it! But sadly, we were already sort of on the way out. We’re trying to be responsible and eat and drink more than I normally think to. We stayed for a bit but headed back to our room for a bit of a rest and to decide our next move.
We opted for shopping at Caesars Palace, just across the street from us. We were mainly going for a store or two, but very quickly, it was supper time. We personally attacked H&M before we were seated in the Cheesecake Factory. I ate a huge plate of pasta while Brady ate a burger the size of his head. We shared a piece of pumpkin cheesecake before we left, but will likely go back for Snickers and a bit more shopping tomorrow.
Once we were done at Caesars Palace, we went back to our hotel for yet another break for my aching feet. We watched a bit of tv and waited for it to get nice and dark out. Around 8:00, we got up and walked to a ticket booth where we purchased rides on the High Roller. Its basically a Ferris Wheel of enclosed pods. It goes around slowly over the course of a half hour and gives you a pretty great view of the strip. Definitely a touristy move, but we really enjoyed it!
We were all revved up afterwards, but my feet were finished, so we grabbed some salted caramel mocha frapps from Starbucks (unbelievable!) before heading back up to our room.
Are bodies are tired but we are happy and excited to go back out tomorrow and do it all over again! More shopping and swimming to be had by all! Although I realized today that I have no idea how to get home! The elaborate scheme of setting up the trip without Bradys knowledge has left me without the faintest clue of how to get out of here!!! How lame is that?! Thats called “never travelling ever.” I have no boarding passes. I have no information. Beats me! So I’m gonna have to figure that all out tomorrow amongst the touristiness and eating amazing food.
Turns out you really do start looking more and more alike the longer you spend together!!
