Mike and I celebrated 11 years of marriage this year! Crazy! We wanted to do something special but we didn't know where to go. Ultimately we decided on a stay cation. We sent the boys off with grandma Kate and we decided to go stay in a hotel on the strip. We decided to stay at Park MGM which was amazing!
Our first day was our actual anniversary. We got up early to take Dan to school and drop Liam with grandma. Then the fun began! We started with a trip to the Bellagio Conservatory to see the new Spring display. It was beautiful! The flowers were gorgeous. Mike's favorite flowers were the snap dragons and I couldn't decide because they were all so beautiful, I think the trees were so cool though. I did love windmill part of the display too. They also had a butterfly pavilion which was cool.
Next, we went to the Luxor to go to the Titanic museum. I've been 2 times before and Mike's been once but its been a long time. Also, this time we got to take pictures! We got there right when they opened but the line was still super long so we had to wait for a bit but it was worth it.
We got passenger cards that gave us the class we were in and then we began the tour of the ship and the story.
