Oh SOOO Fun!

(Blurry photo by very nice stranger)
What fun we had in Vegas. I am sooo glad we just agreed to go. We have never had a trip before - just the three of us sisters - it was good to do and we will do it again. Vegas was amazing - overwhelming - but so many really cool things to see. We were there three nights - I think two is perfect - we were exhausted by the third night. The first night we got back to our room at 2 or 3 am (the sisters flight didn't get to Vegas until almost 10 pm), second night midnightish and the third night I think it was 8 pm. We played the machines and did a lot of sight seeing and a TON of walking. And we laughed a lot - cause when we three get together we get goofy! Oh I miss those two tremendously - so good to bond.
By the way - did I tell you where we stayed? Hooters - mmm hmmm - yes three women by ourselves at Hooters - way cheap is all I can say - and the rooms and casino were fine - although we didn't spend a ton of time there. And this is about all I photographed of our hotel - the background for this pic.

And cause this was our view

New York New York - Such a cool place inside and out. I wish I would have been brave enough to ride that roller coaster.



HOT SHOTS - oh we were sure one of those big progressives pots were gonna be ours!




Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens - the smell - oh the smell was perfection - like Jamie said - if only I could bottle it. Everything about the Bellagio was beautiful - if we go back to Vegas I am staying there - the price is worth it.






The Bellagio "water canons" (as Jodi called them).

It was just a great trip - with great company!!! I missed Steve and the kids terribly and am so glad to be home with them, but I am so thankful I was able to get away for a refresher!!!
