Brandon was ACTUALLY born ON Valentines day (& his parents aniversary is that day as well) so this is a big day in the Valantine home.
This year we decided that we had earned a break with how hard he'd been working in school and how much i'd been working so we treated ourselves to a weekend in Vegas! WOOT WOOT! We were planning on leaving right after i got off work Friday!!
when i got to work that day I had flowers on my desk and a note that said"enjoy work today because the rest of the weekend your mine! -love your Valantine"
(aka i'm not bringing ANY homework to vegas lol) 
We stayed at this new hotel on the south end of the strip called "South Point"
This is our AWESOME ROOM!... well at least the part that could fit in the frame :)

and this is our lovely view... (we're married AND in college give us a break)
Knowing Brandon and I of course the first thing we did was hit the pool! It was SOOOOO warm down there and it felt amazing to just cook in the sun again!!
This is our pool! NICE HUH?! There is more to the right and a GIGANTIC hot tub too! We loved the hotel we stayed at! We got it for a steal!
After the pool we hit the strip!
We went through the MGM and saw the LIONS!!! They were HUGE! They walked them around the habitat and threw meat on the glass so they'd come up and lick the glass right in front of you and you could see all there big teeth!
We bumped into our 2 favorite cousins on the strip! It was fun to see them there!
We went and watched the Billagio fountins which is my ALL TIME favorite thing in vegas!
After we walked around for a few hours and went to some shows on the strip we went and got some AMAZING Indian Food at a place called Ghandi! YUM!
Brandon had a dish on his plate that tasted SO GOODbut it looked SO MUCH like poop we couldn't stomach it ha ha ha
(this pic does it NO justice)
We slept in till 11 a.m the next morning and had Valantines Day breakfast at good old Ihop! There was a HUGE wait believe it or not so we took a pic. .................................................
and of COURSE the trip wouldn't be complete with out me getting pulled over at LEAST once but all-in-all it was a REALLY REALLY fun weekend!
We had a lot of fun spending so much time together and now can't stop thinking about our next chance to find some sun but untill then it's back to the grinding wheel. :)

That sounds like a fun trip! Any time we had visitors when we were living in Vegas, their first request was to go see the Bellagio fountain shows, so we went there a lot. I love them! (It certainly doesn't hurt that they're free, too.)
Vegas cops are out to get you. There were mornings that I would see 6 or 7 cops staking out the 15-mile stretch of highway between our condo and Joel's office, more often than not having just pulled someone over. I don't blame them, though--Vegas drivers are CRAZY!
Any time you're looking for some good fun in the sun, our door is always open! We live 20 minutes from Disneyland and pretty darn close to the beach. ;)
I saw Pat and Kevin down there too! But I didnt say anything to them. Hahahaha. I saw them at the Cheesecake Factory though. Sounds like you had fun! You two are so cute!!
What a fun getaway. It's nice that you two got to do that! Happy B-day to Brandon & Happy Anniversary to M & J.
Brandon was born on Valentine's day and thats your last name!?? Thats funny but I'd say pretty cool!
Sounds like you had such a FUN time in Vegas! Jimmy surprised me last year to a trip to Vegas for Valentines, too bad not again this time haha!
Where's that place you ate? Ghandi? We LOVE trying new things, new places! Last time we were down there we ate at some Japanese restaurant in the Monte Carlo..um?? Not sure the name, but it was delicious!
Megs I love reading your blog! It's awesome I must say! I think I live vicariously through you and all the places you go and pictures you take! So fun!
