The Szerlip Vegas Trip 2013 - YOLO!
We are a few weeks removed, but in mid-February Jenn, Jake, Ally and I headed out on a quick weekend getaway to Las Vegas, NV.
We left on Saturday, February 16th for two nights in a Panoramic Suite at the Vdara right on the Vegas Strip. We left right after Jake got off work (2PM), and he drove us in his new Lexus to our hotel. We did stop along the way at Trader Joes on the way and got wine, beer, and champagne to partake in on the trip.
Europe Trip 2012: Videos of Our Beautiful Abodes
During each trip Jenn and I try our best to capture both our days and the places we stay. A few years ago we decided to do room tours of all the places we stay for two reasons. First because it was a great reminder of what the hotels were like. And secondly and more importantly it lets us look back and see if we want to go back. So on our recent Europe Trip we took videos of the three hotels we stayed at during our stay.
Europe Trip 2012 Day 21 (July 12, 2012): 'Split'ing to the Finish Line
The last stop of any cruise is always met with both a lot of excitement and a lot of dread. I know when both Jenn and I woke up this morning I could see that little piece of sadness start to creep into both of us as we know this is the final stop on the cruise before boarding a plane back to LAX.
Lets not start that sob fest yet though because we still did have our last stop of the cruise today Split, Croatia. We woke up this morning at around 9AM something I know we both would love to keep doing when we get home. Instead of getting room service which we are both a bit burned out on we got Starbucks this morning which hit the spot. We met up with my family at 10:30AM and went down to board the tender to take us to Split, Croatia.
Europe Trip 2012 Day 20 (July 11, 2012): Jenn's Day #2
I remember when we booked this cruise over a year ago my only trepidation with the itinerary was the lack of at sea days. I knew looking at the itinerary that after five straight days of stops, today was going to be a much needed day of rest. And that's exactly what it turned out to be.
Jenn took full advantage of our second and final at sea day. We both woke up at around 9:30AM and Jenn made her way down to the Spa with Amy to both get facials at 10:30AM. Judging solely on how relaxed she looked when we met up at around noon I can say that she absolutely loved the spa. I on the other hand laid around in the room and walked around the ship with Jake until noon where the whole family met up to have lunch in the dining room. It was a nice light lunch Jenn had soup and a burger and I had the salad bar with enchiladas.
Europe Trip 2012 Day 19 (July 10, 2012): Money, Just Dirty Paper In Your Pocket
After what was an amazing day in Santorini, I know we were all excited for what was to come today in Mykonos, Greece. However unlike yesterday today we did not have an excursion which meant we didn't have to wake up at six in the morning and be down at the Palladium Theater. So instead we all had a much more leisurely morning. Jenn and I ordered room service our normal of cereal, (Special K and Frosted Flakes) a fruit plate, an order of pastries, and coffee.
Europe Trip 2012 Day 18 (July 9, 2012): White Haven
After two great days in Turkey we are now back in Greece for our first of two more stops in Greece before closing out the cruise in Croatia. Today we are in Santorini, Greece a first time for Jenn and I and also marks our last official excursion for the trip. Jenn and I woke up at 7AM to get ready for the excursion which is by far the earliest we have had to wake up on the trip.
