A little road trip to Vegas

Sometimes you don't realize you need a weekend away until you're actually away, from home and from routine, no cell phone, no excuses, seated in the heart of a swanky casino restaurant, sipping an interesting brothy mushroom soup, across from a man who compliments your frizzy un-blown hair in such a way you are now blushing the same color fuchsia as the orchid that separates you. And then it hits you, the perfectness of that moment. Exhale, because you are one lucky girl. Don't forget that.

We thoroughly enjoyed our quick weekend road trip to Las Vegas. Not only did I see my favorite band in concert, but I had the rare fortune to hang with BD for 3 straight days, sleep as much as I wanted, take multiple bubble baths, do a little shopping, and eat cupcakes for breakfast. Total success.

Hey yeah Gina - What do you say to the weekend of the 13th-15th.

I happen to know a great group of ladies that is heading to Sin City. It will be epic.

Wanna come?

Mindi, indeed we strolled through the new city center and WOW. Amazing. Loved it. Makes the Bellagio look like Circus Circus. That is come swanky shiiiiiii.

Tib, unfortunately we'll be hiking the Grand Canyon that weekend. Which will be an entirely different kind of "hot sweaty mess."
