The Seven Year Itch

  Well, not really itchy, but we did celebrate our seven year anniversary.
     We've been wanting to go to a taping of Conan O'Brien for a while now and couldn't think of a better time than our anniversary.
     Our anniversary is June 21st which fell on a Friday this year. On our actual anniversary we dropped the kids off at my in-laws for a couple hours and we picked up some Subway sandwiches (we had Subway party subs at our wedding) and a cake and went home to watch a movie while we had our sandwiches.
     We left for our trip the following Sunday. We dropped the kids off at my in-laws at about 9 am and headed out. The next day was Conan day! Check in was between 1 and 3 and we wanted good seats so we got there about 12:30 and there was already a crowd. We had to go through a metal detector and show ID. At About 1:30 we were given our official tickets and a number card and were told we were dismissed until 3:00. Well I don't know how well you know the Warner Brother's Studio but there is nothing around there. So finding something to do for and hour and a half was difficult. We found the Warner Brother's tour and souvenir center and thought about taking a tour but they take a little over two hours and we wouldn't make it back in time. So we walked around the shop for a little while and then drove around for a bit before heading back. There was a much bigger crowd when we got back. We sat down and waited for our number to be called.

  It got a little boring waiting so we took pictures. These wrist bands have Conan hair symbol on them. They were our real ticket in.

Things just got real!

The Big Bang Theory is filmed next door. We walked right past their studio and I had to get a picture of the cast parking.

  One of J's best friends moved to Hollywood, right before we got married. So we grabbed a bite with him after the show.

Here the boys are sharing cheese fries!

 Tuesday morning we headed to Vegas. We got a room a the Luxor with a great big tub in the room (we thought it was going to be a Jacuzzi tub but were sadly surprised) After relaxing for a bit we headed to the strip. We walked around the casino malls for a while and caught a fountain show at the Bellagio before heading back to the hotel.
  Wednesday started with more walking but we got tired and chilled in the room until it was time to leave for Tournament of Kings. Afterward we headed for Carrot Top. Both were awesome. But I was sure missing the kids, especially during Tournament of Kings. I was so excited to get back to my babies on Thursday.
   It was a fun and Hot four days but I truly did miss my kids. I heard they were good and I'm sure they had a great time with both sets of grandparents (J's parents watched the kids Sunday and Monday night and my parents watched them Tuesday and Wednesday night).
