I was a little concerned when booking our flight to Vegas about our arrival time being at 9:00AM. A later flight would seriously cut into our vacation time and wouldn’t be a direct flight. Since most hotels don’t let you check-in before 3:00PM, I was worried about what we were going to do about our suitcase upon arrival. When all was said and done, I decided it was more important to have a direct flight and I figured we’d deal with the suitcase situation when we got there.
All my worries were for naught. The lovely staff at the Mirage let us check-in at 9:00AM!!! As a result, we got 6 extra hours of hotel goodness without paying for it! π

I’m not sure “excited” covers what I’m feeling! π
We’re both desperately going to be missing the boys but I know we’ll have a good time and it will be good for us to have some time together. Matthew and Ian are sure to have lots of fun with Grammy and Papaw!
I have no doubt that we’ll have TONS of pictures to share when we get back! Stay tuned for more posts while we’re gone. π
