viva las vegas

 

P2280351

brandon teases me that i have the attention span of a goldfish…this is true. im distracted easily, especially if i dont have a major task at hand. sparkly bright lights also distract quite easily. probably a reason why i love christmas lights, diamonds and most anything shiny..lol

it had been 10years since i had been to vegas, hard to believe since i wasnt even legal then and that i only live 4 hours from the dazzling city. so away we go for brandons birthday to sin city! so much to do and so little time! who needs to sleep right? well my poor hubby since he was sick:( but he made it thru with some nyquil and an excited wife. the drive was quick and painless, full of great tunes thanks to both of our ipods. seriously what did we do before ipods? there was wandering of the strip…my how it had grown and changed in ten years! one of the best brunch buffets i’ve ever had thanks to the bellagio! a great view…

P2280342 this was from our room…wow!

shopping at a huge mall that gave scottsdale fashion square a run for it’s money. a roller coaster for b not on your life would you get me on that!

New-York-New-York-Roller-Coaster 

but besides all the people watching which was crazy enough…nascar was there and if you’ve seen one nascar fan, you’ve seen them all..ha.. a bit stereotypical but sooo true!

my favorite part was deffinately

cirque-du-soleil…amazing, so much to watch and yet not knowing where to look for fear you will miss something. how did it take us sooo long to see this? and when i can i see a different cirque-du-soleil?

bellagio-cirque-du-soleil

so to all my faithful readers…(insert sarcasm here) who know what a freak i am about great bodies….where do i start? seriously? the strength of these performers and their perfectly chiseled bodies. is there a workout video for this? can i hire one of them as my personal trainer? holey moley batman! what would i give for legs like those? lol

self portraits by timer at the end of the night! were were really bad at taking pictures of ourselves! funny since we got cute vegas style…did you notice the sequins? .lol

and no we didn’t win big bucks in vegas:( not really into  the gambling and i firmly believe you have to play big to win and i’m a scardy cat..lol and the only sad thing to admit is that we didn’t go dancing:( B was so sick first night and we were worn out second night. man we are getting old!!!

i could have spent all day by that pool with the waterfalls and beautiful sunny weather… an hour was not nearly enough and just a tease!  im a sun bunny through and through. next time its a girls trip with dancing and pool time!

Looks like a lot of fun. Brandon is a sweetie for hanging in there while being sick. We missed you this weekend for Christine's wedding. Next UT event, no getting sick, we miss you all! One of my wedding highlights was Nicole asking Uncle Bob to dance, LOL!
