Had a fun trip in Vegas this past weekend with my sister Becca, my sister-in-law Mandy and my friend Alison. We needed a get away with no kids and no husbands. No...just playing. But we did really WANT a get-away and it felt so good. We stayed at the Luxor, which was actually an awesome hotel. We loved the vaulted ceilings and the slanted walls...even though it made us all a little queasy and sick when we rode the elevator up and looked down over the balconies. Crazy how they engineered and built that. But we loved the pool and the pool time. We could actually relax and get some lay out time without having to chase kids around the pool. It was almost too hot to even lay out. It was about 100 degrees, but it is such a dry heat... you can barely breathe. We ended up laying out in the pool or by the pool the whole 2 days we spent by the pool. You had to be kinda wet at all times or it was miserable.
We also got to go to two different malls/outlets and shop for a few hours. That was alot of fun... looking for fun stuff for us, but all of us finding stuff for our kids instead. No..we did get a few things for ourselves too. During the shopping trips we did enjoy a little frozen yogurt, the best fudge ever and we had to keep finding cheap places to buy 44 oz. drinks. I just kept thinking how hard it would be to live in Vegas in the heat.
We also got to eat at some fun places. We did not totally find any REALLY good places because we did not want to pay $35 for the buffets. We got to eat at the Rainforest Cafe which was pretty cool. But I think with the heat and everything....all of us felt kinda sick to our stomachs at least once during the whole trip. It takes some getting use to...the HEAT!
We also walked alot...we walked the strip....we walked through alot of casinos....we walked to the M& M factory, the Coke factory, the fountains at the Belagio...etc. And the best part of all...we got to go to the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop...the Pawn Shop that is on the TV SHOW "PAWN STARS." We were so bummed because we went on Saturday and the stars of the show (the owners of the store) only work Monday-Friday. So bummed!
Overall we had a fun trip...lots of driving...lots of fun stories...lots of girl talk...But we were all excited to get home to our husbands...boyfriend for Becca.... and our kids.

Pregos? You're going to start some rumors Alison. So fun!! Park City next month? HAHA... I wish!
Well Mandy, you did show many signs.... Ha! Rumor?
I would do Park City! The guys would probably frown down on that one... Sometime soon I hope!
