Hell’s Kitchen: Las Vegas with a Baby
On our way home from a week in Utah with the in-laws, we stopped to celebrate Bebe E’s birthday at Hell’s Kitchen in Las Vegas. Some may question the logic in taking a one year old to a fancy restaurant, but the reality is, Mama and Daddy love to eat good food, and love to…
DC for *almost* free
Earlier this year, my husband and I had some airline credits expiring from a cancelled trip to New York, so we pivoted and headed to the United States’ capitol: Washington, DC.
