This past weekend we went to Las Vegas for a wedding. It was our first time away from Cooper AND our first time to Las Vegas. (thank you mom!)
Such a wonderful trip. Still tired as a result!
People watching was FANTASTIC and the food we ate was killer. Because Casey and I love eating our way through a city, I made sure book some reservations the second our flights were booked.
Here are some of the places we ate:
*Nobhill (took pictures, but the lack of flash made everything so blah! I am NOT going to be that person who is firing a flash in a dark restaurant all night long. It’s like being on your cellphone…but worse!)
*Bouchon (Thomas Keller held the key to our hangover cure at Brunch on Sunday)
which included…..
Hot beignets with a cinnamon sugar dusting
Casey ordered Chicken & Waffles with a vanilla bean syrup

I had Sausage & Eggs (cooked PERFECTLY)

with a tasty Bloody Mary

It made me decide that my idea of heaven is eating my way out of a vat of croissants from Bouchon! (no joke)

*Mesa ( Ate there for lunch-endured the diatribe by the waiter about Celebrity Chef Bobby Flay!)
I had a BBQ Lamb Cobb Salad

Casey ate Chicken & Sweet Potato Hash topped w/ a poached egg-some Southwestern Hollandaise sauce on top

There was sooo much to see in Vegas….
Hopefully we will get to go back sometime soon. Still so much to explore!
On the plane I started compiling a list of my next food adventures in the kitchen.

Stay Tuned!

say somethingWhat a wonderful mother you have to allow you to get away! My mom lives in the same city as us and won’t stay with our (very well-behaved) boys so we are forced to pay for help if we want some time away.
dana- you are correct! My mom is wonderful! She and Coop have the best relationship. It makes me so happy to see how eager she is to love my baby! I am super fortunate!
Loved the pictures from Bouchon! We had brunch there during the summer and it was the best. Their basket of pastries is worth a trip to Vegas alone!

The secret to love is to make time for each other. The birth of a child truly interrupts a relationship. Dana, I am proud of you. Even though your Mother did not sit for you, you saw the importance of having time away. Tracy and Casey gave us a beautiful grandchild to love. We will do our part in helping them have time alone with each other, and in that time we will bond with this precious gift.
Sausage + eggs + croissant + bloody mary = must be dreaming
