Vegas

Mom decided to take a time out for herself and enjoy some R&R, in Viva Las Vegas... if there is such a thing. There was. It was a peaceful trip. It was a fun trip and just what I needed. I went with a great friend and we got to enjoy such nice things in a different setting. We earned this.



It was off to a sleepless start, which is not the way to begin in Vegas. I had a "Girls Night In" with the closest of my girlfriends the night before I headed out for vacation in Sin City. I didn't go to bed until 2am, and I was unpacked at this time. My flight left around 7am-ish that morning, so after only a couple hours of sleep it was time to pack and head out. I felt like a sincere trooper. Thinking of the work week I put in prior to this plus all the arranging of childcare so I could make this happen and pull it all off, yes, I was a trooper. This trooper was ready for some quality relaxation.

The first day of Viva was spent at a cabana in a bikini poolside with yummy drinks and great music... and the best company. The evening was filled with a super nice dinner at Fix then the "O" show. This was where my lack of sleep caught up to me and I dozed off during the show. It was seriously amazing, but I was seriously tired. It was a much needed cat-nap before the night.



The food was delectable and I can say that everything that went in my mouth was deeee-licious. My girlfriend and I rewarded ourselves with a Chef's Tasting dinner at Emeril Lagasses's where we sampled lots of his creations, in addition to a good bottle of wine. It was something nice, something we deserved. For lunch I even found a place that had sweet potato fries, which made the perfect side to my much needed greasy burger after a long night in VLV.



The shops in Vegas are one-of-a-kind, so shopping and then of course a day at the spa was a must for us girls on this trip. I also spent my last day, a day I will never forget, with someone that I love getting to know. We had the best dinner followed by my favorite Vegas show so far, "Love", great conversation, and an incredible time to make a perfect night. Now... back to reality... which is crazy, but I love my reality. It's good to be home.
