We just got home from our weekend in Las Vegas—and it was all I could have hoped for! Thank you for all of the birthday wishes! I had an amazing time celebrating.
I’ve been sharing photos on Instagram (check out the hashtag #goodlordyashleyaronare40 or look in the stories highlights), and have been getting some DMs asking for a packing list. (Thank you!) With only a few days’ worth of clothes to bring, that seemed like an easy thing to share…
It’s my birthday this weekend, and then it will be Aron’s in a few weeks’ time, so he and I are celebrating in a big way—we’re flying to Las Vegas with plans to eat, drink, and dance with friends! I’m so excited!
Grandparents, babysitters, and classmates’ parents are all being enlisted—it takes a village!—for us to get away so I’m going to sign off early this week and enjoy the fruits, so to speak.
In the meantime, I’ve gathered up all of my previous Las Vegas posts below. I feel like there are new things to see and do (and taste) every time we go. What have been your favorite experiences there?
I try to pay attention to which games and toys get the most play with the kids and their friends, and there have definitely been some solid hits lately! A few people asked, after Hudson’s birthday, for some suggestions as to what make great gifts for first and second graders, so I’ve listed those favorites below. I’d love to hear what ideas others have to add…
