All You Need is Love

So the Vegas trip is complete and we did make it through the whole night...sort of. At around 3 in the morning fatigue set in completely and Kyle and I could walk the strip no more. By that time it was too late to get a hotel so we got ourselves a cab and spent the rest of the wee hours of the morning attempting to sleep on the floor of the Las Vegas airport...which I must say could use a revamping.

However, the sleep deprivation was worth it because we got to see LOVE, the new Beatles Cirque du Soleil show. It was amazing!!! Kyle and I have both been to Cirque shows before and this by far tops them all. It was not the typical cirque show because there was Beatles music instead of the usual weird Cirque-y music which added humor and lightheartedness to the show. For the first 30 minutes of the show we had no idea what to watch because there was so much going on. Kyle decided his favorite part was the Mr. Kite part and I liked Lucy in the Sky. We both agreed that Strawberry Fields and the Eggman parts were great too. The whole show was amazing though! If any of you get a chance to go, do!

Just a little sidenote, the show ended just after midnight and the last song was "All You Need is Love" which started playing at exactly midnight which is officially when our anniversary began. It was exciting that the first song we walked down the aisle to as a married couple was also the first song we heard on the first minute of our anniversary. Kind of sappy...but kind of cool too.

That's the Vegas trip. Happy Father's Day to all the dads.

Happy Flag Day...I mean happy birthday!

Happy Birthday to Kyle! Today Kyle is the big 2-3! I think he had a pretty good birthday. We went out for his bday with Randy and Kathie on Saturday and last night we celebrated his birthday and my dad's birthday so that was fun too. He got lots of donuts and Tabasco at work today so I think that made him pretty happy. Thsis weekend we are going to Vegas to check out the new Cirque du Soleil show, Love. It's all Beatles music so we should enjoy it. We leave Saturday around 6 and fly back early Sunday morning so we can be home for our first anniversary and Kyle's first father's day. We plan on staying out all night so we can make the most of our extremely short trip. We will see how it goes...I don't think we have stayed out all night since we were 16. So I guess wish us luck...I'll let you know how it goes.
