The Wynn








Vegas was wonderful. The Wynn was beyond wonderful. It is a very high end place, and although we didn't look the part, I think we each felt a teeny bit extra special. Their music, ambiance, decor, details, room, etc, was so nice. It's a very romantic resort, but it's also quite relaxing.
We saw Jersey Boys at the Palazzo. I can't recommend this show enough. To date, it's the best show I have ever seen in Las Vegas. It was spectacular.
The highlight of the trip was seeing Nick Newman from Young and the Restless. (his real name is Joshua Morrow) As college girls, Kim, Melissa, and others I can't recall watched this show between classes. If one of us missed it, we filled one another in on what happened. Nick was newly on the show then. He is still on to this day, and let me tell you he is a HOTTIE. My mom spotted him, called Erin, and then they began calling me. After nine calls to my phone, I finally saw that Erin wanted to get a hold of me. She was trying to explain to me where to go to find him. She could leave her spot, because she was waiting for her drink.
I found him, disconnected, and proceeded to sneak a photo of him with my cell phone (that I forgot to save). His friend saw me, so I said, "I am sorry, but that is Nick Newman." He grabbed him, and he said, "What's your name." Inside I was cursing my damn dad for naming me Bonnie. How uncool is that name? But I digress....he gave me a HUG, and I took a picture with him. Ahhhhh
The only glitch in the trip was that my breast pump had a faulty piece. After two days of engorgement, I had to express milk by hand. I did look quite filled out though, and that was kind of fun for a change. See? Look for the positive in every situation, and you are sure to find it!
It was the perfect getaway. I needed a little break from home. I got to laugh a lot with my sister and mom, drink some darn good (& spendy) drinks, lay in the sun, shop without kids, eat without kids, and know that my husband was taking good care of our children.

Looks amazing! I have always wanted to stay there and we never find a decent rate during the times we have to go.

I can attest to how well Thad did. Rick was a little in awe that Thad brought all 4 kids to the picnic on Saturday and was managing so well!

Will you stay at The Wynn again when you and Thad go?

Like I said, I love your pictures! I'm SO glad you all had fun together!

Hell no Vicky! It was a "deal" but compared to what we are paying at the Monte Carlo, it's not deal. It's too bad, because it's a wonderful place. You do pay for what you get: padded lounge chairs around the pools, ice water at your disposal, beautiful grounds, etc.
Thad did an awesome job, and i am so thankful.

You know what? I think my milk supply literally went away now. I fed Brady Tuesday morning, last night, this morning, and tonight. The last two feedings have had no let down at all, and tonight I could tell Brady was really trying to get milk with no luck.
I am bummed for obvious reasons. The other one is that I will never have the nursing mothers chest ever again...unless I get implants.

Kris said...

Get implants if you want them...after four kids you deserve it. Anyway, I talked to Erin this morning and it sounds like you guys had a blast! Good for you girls. :) Hope you had a great birthday too!

Looks like you had so much fun!! And I agree with Kris go for the implants... My 50+ yr old daycare lady whom I adore is treating herself for her birthday. hahaha!

TBRKO said...

I didn't say I wanted them, I just enjoyed the larger bust is all...that is not in our budget. Lipo maybe...

Jenay said...

Please, like you need lipo...
