Tyler and I celebrated our 16 year anniversary a little early this year with a trip to Vegas! We drove down to Vegas on the last day of school. We had tickets to see "O" at Bellagio, but I almost ruined it. I put the event in our calendar, but didn't account for the time change, so we were just getting ready to head out to go to the show with what we thought was plenty of time, when my phone dinged and said the event was starting in 30 min. I panicked and showed Tyler and we ran outside to get an Uber. I was on the verge of tears and couldn't believe I messed it up so bad. We only ended up being like 15 minutes late to the show, but when the usher led us to our seats, people were sitting in them and since we didn't want to make a scene, we just sat in their seats, but Tyler ended up having an obstructed view, so that was disappointing. Despite that mishap, the show was great and the acrobatics are amazing.
We walked the strip a little bit and had dinner at Jason Aldean's restaurant. Then headed back to the Hotel. We stayed at the Luxor, which was fun.
The next morning we spent a few hours by the pool. The weather was perfect and I got a good start to my tan.
We made reservations a few months ago for Hell's Kitchen. Tyler and I used to watch the show when we were first married. I remember telling Tyler that someday I wanted to try the food because they made it look so yummy on the show. And here we are 16 years later.
Tyler looks just like Gordon Ramsay.
Ok, I'm not kidding, the food was the most amazing thing I have ever eaten! I ordered the scallops and Tyler ordered the Lobster Risotto for our appetizer. And yes, I am one of those people who takes a picture of their food, but look how amazing it looks!!
For dinner I ordered the beef Wellington. I have always wanted to try this and it was so yummy. The only thing is that it only comes rare, and It was just a little too rare for me, so Tyler and I switched mid way through and I thought his steak was so good. Tyler said he liked the beef Wellington better, so it worked out for both of us!!
Dessert was a toffee cake that was really good.
And just because this is a once in a lifetime meal, I will let you know how much our dinner was... yes, that says $335 dollars for dinner. Like I said... once in a lifetime, right?
This was our view for the meal
On our way out we got a few pictures of the kitchen. It looks just like it does on the show.
We walked around the strip for a little bit before heading over to the main event....
KENNY CHESNEY AT THE SPHERE!!!!
I have seen Kenny so many times in concert, but when I saw that he was coming to the Sphere, I knew we had to go. The Sphere takes an amazing concert and takes it to the next level. The Sphere in Las Vegas is a glowing, high tech globe that lights up the strip with massive visuals and mind blowing shows inside. Its surrounded by a wrap around screen and sounds so sharp it feels other worldly. When I tell you it was the most amazing concert I have ever been to, I'm serious!
We heard the best seats are actually higher up, so we were on the 4th level and had the perfect view of the whole screen. These pictures don't do it justice, but we sang and danced our hearts out the whole night. I loved it!!
I'm so glad I got to spend the weekend with Tyler (and Kenny) celebrating our 16 year anniversary. There's no one else I would want to do life with. He is my best friend, my biggest supporter, the one who makes me laugh, and the one I feel the safest with. I love this stage of life we are in and look forward to many more years.
If you're wondering about the kids, they had a great time with Grandma and Grandpa and the cousins hanging out at Lagoon.
