So, lemme start at the beginning--which would be February or so (technically I'm pretty sure it was first mentioned a full year ago). Kris' husband was gonna be in a pool tournament in Vegas, he wanted her to go but knew she would be bored. So, she got to invite all her friends and the husband paid for a 1900 square feet 3 bedroom, 3 bath condo for the Thursday thru Sunday weekend. Perfect. As a a side note, husband ended up not even playing in the tournament so the trip ended up just being just for us. Funny. So, I packed approximately 84 outfits, kissed my kids and left them in charge of my fab husband. Long time no girl weekend for this momma. My recap will be brief b/c I realize how un-fun it is to read about someone else's great time. So, we get in Thursday night, changed clothes and chilled at the Hard Rock bar--my friend Candi most especially enjoyed the ladies working the pole in the middle of the casino. Friday morning was spent at the pool and then a leisurely shopping trip at Caesars before it was time to get ready for our "doing it big" night. Three short hours later the four of us emerge as the hottest ladies in town. We dined at Fix( where we were deemed worthy of VIP passes to the Bank, based on our collective hotness--I'm sure) in the Bellagio, chilled at Caramel (where we were deemed worthy of a reserved table, based on our collective hotness level--I'm sure). The Bank was cool--looked like a thousand other clubs. Just typing that sentence further drives the point home that I am a mom and well past the days that clubbing on the weekends is something I look forward to, ever. Anyway. Saturday we shopped the Miracle Mile and then found an outdoor mall, which was lovely. Our dinner Saturday night was my fave--Firefly, a superfly tapas bar. We ordered 37 different things and they were all great. Equally great were all four pitchers of mojitos we had. Dani--sorry they had to be flat and thanks for being a sport!! We finished that night poolside. Sunday we had to check out by ten, so we did that and headed to the airport way early, which was fine b/c momma was tired. I think I had 12 hours of sleep over the three nights we were there. A bangin' good time...but I felt like I was doing makeup sleep until today. My husband was great while I was gone--lots of fun activities for the kids and lots of "hope you're having fun" type texts for me. It was great to get away. And I got to do the dramatic run (sort of) down the hallway and into my kids arms. Mostly I bent down and let Josie run to me--really cute!! Thanks to the husband that paid for the room, the husband that hung with the kids, and my ladies for making it a weekend to remember!! Love you guys.....In my next post I'll talk about the joys of first grade homework (already), the drama of selecting a uniform, Wednesday folders, and more....I know you'll all be waiting on the edges of your seat.
