Vegas Baby

So last weekend I ended up going to Vegas. It was kind of bittersweet in that it was the first time I left my baby and it was pretty stressful. I also had to miss one of my friends funeral which I really had to come to terms with before I left. However I ended up having a BLAST! There were just 3 of us that went but we had tons of fun and there was no drama, just drinking and shopping!

Andrea and I took off that afternoon and landed in Vegas around 3. We just headed straight to the Venetian where we stayed and got ready for the night. That night we went out to the Blue Martini and had so much fun, despite the numerous calls from my husband (Riley was having a hard night without her mama and I'm not so sure my husband was all that thrilled that I was in Vegas without him, oops!). We had fun dancing but the most fun we had was when we basically did Ellen's dance dares all night long. That is where you go up behind people without them knowing and dance

behind them. I know it sounds stupid but it was seriously hilarious. People's friends would just look at us and laugh and barely anyone told there friend what was going on behind them. Oh man that seriously made the night. We tried recording the dance dares but it was too dark in the bar.

The next day we got up and went shopping at the outlet mall, basically all I bought was clothes for Riley...wow how the times have changed. Last time all I bought was clothes for myself and I only got 2 pairs of shorts this time. We got ready that night to go out to Absinthe, the show that was at Cesar's Palace. It was a cute little circus like tent in the middle of the court yard and it was pretty small so it was really cool. The tricks in the show were so cool and the humor was pretty dirty but it was definitely worth the money, I would love to go see another show in Vegas

sometime. We then went out to the Cesar's Palace to Gilley's Country Bar. This is a favorite of Andrea and I's. We had so much fun dancing although the next time we go to that bar I'm thinking more comfortable shoes and not a dress, kind of uncomfortable to swing dance in! By the end of the night our feet were bruised and battered and Andrea (the bachelorette) got Abby and I back to the hotel safely! The next morning came all too early, I went to Vegas with the intention of being able to sleep in although I think I got less sleep in Vegas than I ever get at home. The plane ride back was long and the drive home was even longer. I couldn't wait to see my family and I think that they were pretty excited to see me as well.

We did decide that the next trip we take we definitely need to make it a couples trip or we were thinking even a cruise!!!
