" Rex and I are leaving for Las Vegas tomorrow. It&amp;#039;s going to be a full three days of drinking, lounging, shows and slots. We&amp;#039;re staying at the nicest hotel on the strip. And, speaking of stripping, there&amp;#039;s not going to be much need for clothes. Or the five star gym. Our bodies will be our work outs. Our agenda will be the theme of the city: pure sin. Yeah right - we&amp;#039;re going with the kids. The Tropicana Review is being replaced with my son&amp;#039;s birthday at Circus Circus. Lounging at the pool will be replaced with chasing kids with floaties down the built-in slide. Fancy meals out will be swapped for gluten free cooking inside the condo. But you know what? I don&amp;#039;t care. I&amp;#039;m excited to be out with the family. And nothing says that in between all the kid activities we can&amp;#039;t slip in a little mama and papa time (emphasis on the slip in due to my slip being off.) It could be kind of a game. &amp;quot;Hey, the kids are sleeping. Want to place a bet on a sure thing?&amp;quot; I know that for some of you non-married folks this vacationing with kids is not the most exciting proposition. But even when I was single, I wasn&amp;#039;t much for being propositioned. I&amp;#039;m not a gambler - especially not with my heart. I&amp;#039;m all for the sure thing - the steady mutual fund of a love that likes me whether I look like a show girl or a tired cocktail waitress. Do I long for the razzle dazzle of the night life? Sometimes. But I&amp;#039;d still rather hang out during the day with my family, even if it means making my razzle dazzle happen at 9PM with the steady eddy instead of at 1am with the hot stranger. I&amp;#039;m keeping this short. I&amp;#039;m tired, I&amp;#039;m not packed, and God help me if I can figure out where my bathing suit went. Skinny dipping at the family resort is hardly an option, but it sounds like fun. Maybe in my next life. What about you? Do you miss vacationing without the kids? Do you go without them?
