Luke turned 1! We had a small party at Dave's parents house and Luke enjoyed it. He definitely loved his cake and insisted on having a fork.
Last week we went on vacation! This is seriously our first vacation as a married couple. Besides the driving to California to visit my parents. So it was VERY fun and enjoyable. Dave had a work convention in Las Vegas and when his boss said that Luke and I could go along we jumped at the chance. We stayed two nights in Las Vegas and walked down the strip on the last night. We visited the Bellagio, saw the water show 3 times, let Luke walk around and then shielded our eyes as we ran back to our car. Sin City for real.
The day after Dave's convention we made the drive to Southern California. Being so close to the beach made it hard to resist a trip out there. So we got a hotel in Newport Beach that was 1/2 the price of the Hilton in Las Vegas and at least 100 times better. Luke hated the sand at first but cried and cried when it was time to leave.
We went to Hollywood the next day because it was raining on and off and didn't think Luke would enjoy that at the beach very much. We went to the Kodak Theater and the Chinese Theater and paid $8 to park for an hour. You gotta love being a tourist.
The trip was so much fun. It was quick and we weren't able to spend much time in one place but it was well worth it. We aren't very spontaneous and this trip was extremely spontaneous for us. And we loved it! Luke did great in the car too. Not bad for a 1 year old.
Hope all is well with you all!
