Last weekend our good friends - Quentin and DiDi- got married in Las Vegas and we took Riley for his first trip to Vegas. We packed up and headed out on Thursday. The trip was pretty uneventful but we did have to make a poopy stop during our trip...unbeknownst to Ben and I this was a forewarning of what was to come!! Since we had Riley we didn't want to stay at one of the casinos because of all of the smoke and we wanted the convenience of having a kitchen so we stayed at our timeshare - we love staying there when we go to Vegas because it is still on the strip but near the end so it is easy to travel around by car without getting stuck in the Strip traffic. Riley and I hung out in the hotel room on Thursday night while Ben went out with the groom-to-be and some friends. The next day we took a walk down the strip and had lunch at Maggiano's. One would have thought that Riley was a rock star with all of the attention he was getting in the restaurant! After lunch we headed back to the hotel for Riley's first trip to the pool. Riley and daddy played and then we all relaxed poolside. The pool wiped out Riley and daddy and after a long nap we hung out with Jon and Cynthia for drinks by the pool.
The next day was finally the big day - Quentin and DiDi's wedding. Quentin and Ben have known each other since junior high and were roommates all through college....hmmm, which means that I have known Quentin for quite a long time too! The wedding was at the chapel in the Wynn Hotel. Everything was so beautiful and DiDi looked amazing! I had no idea about this but apparently the Wynn has a policy which prohibits strollers in the hotel/casino. DiDi was thankfully thinking of us and got us a "special pass" that allowed us to have a stroller....that was a lifesaver because it ended up being quite a trek to the chapel. After the wedding, we all headed over to the Paris Hotel to Mon Ami Gabi for the wedding reception. Riley managed to need 4 trips to the bathroom and 3 outfit changes all before dinner was served! We all had a fabulous time celebrating with Quentin and DiDi.
The next day we had had our fill of Vegas and headed home. We had a great time and loved being able to celebrate Quentin and DiDi's day with them. Here are some pictures from the trip........
Congratulations again Quentin and DiDi!!
