Vegas!!!

So I know that for many of you who read this you'll have either been with me, heard all about it from me, or well... my mom could have told you everything! I spent the 15-19th in sunny Las Vegas with three of my favorite people! I don't think that I've ever walked so much in my entire life! Day one I made the mistake of thinking we were just going to go get food before resting and wore really cute shoes! Those shoes resulted in the worst blisters I have ever seen in my entire life! Imagine walking with inflatable nickles on the bottoms of your heels for starters. Then add a blister growing up the outside of your foot. That gives you a picture. I tried blister blocker bandaids, popping the worst blister and wrapping my foot. I felt like I tried everything while still being able to walk... well if you really call that walking. :) Some would, others wouldn't. That was the only downfall to my entire trip! I can't say that it helped, but things could have been much worse.



The coolest thing we saw was in PH (Planet Hollywood) and that would be Bruce Willis. On the left is a quick shot with my phone of him... though you can barely see him, and on the right is me with his handprint outside PH. It was actually Jessica V. who spotted him first I believe. Which was funny because my mom had just told me earlier that she'd seen that he was supposed to be there at some point that weekend. So I can officially say now that I've seen a celebrity in public!!!




We saw lots of great things and even took in Bette Midler's show. It was absolutely hilarious until the last song. She closed her show with Wind Beneath My Wings and boy did I cry. We spent time by the pool. Danced the night away at Studio 54. Watched the lions lay about at MGM Grand. Got lured by the Sirens of TI (Treasure Island). Witnessed the fall of Atlantas in Ceasers Palace. Oogled over both our waiter and cheesecake at the Cheesecake Factory. Found the jewelery of my dreams!!! Swam with the fishes at Mandalay Bay. Fulfilled goals/dares at Fremont Street/Studio 54. Saw a guy who thought Oregon Girls Rocked and proudly wore a shirt saying so. We even went to the top of the Eiffel Tower at the Paris.

The greatest thing about our trip? We're all still friends! I think... though I haven't heard from anyone since we got back... Jess... Em... Jessica... we are still friends aren't we? ......... Just kidding!
