Guess who went to Vegas!!!

I did!!

Jessie, Julie, Jolee and I drove to Vegas last Friday for the baby shower for our dear friend Kim. It just so happened that the shower was the weekend after Jessie's birthday, so we got to celebrate that as well!

It was an easy drive out, and we got to our hotel off the strip around 12:30 in the morning. It just so happens that the hotel was less than a block from one of the country bars Jolee likes to go.

Joy.

If you didn't know this, I do NOT like country music! Icing on the cake is you can smoke inside, so not only do I get to hear my favorite music, I get to inhale second hand smoke the whole night.

It actually turned into a really fun night out! After a couple drinks (our bartender Mike made the BEST lemon drops we have ever had!), I was uninhibited enough to learn a couple line dances and even how to 2 step! And besides the lingering cough, I came out unscathed!

Kim's shower was Saturday afternoon. Of coarse I got us lost on our way there so we were late! I didn't realize how emotional I would be when I saw her! I feel like I've been going through her pregnancy with her! We talked about trying for a baby early last year, and now here she is! A month away from welcoming her baby boy to the world! Go figure, I cried! Haha!

We had a great time! We even won the nursery rhyme game! I don't know how I remember so many nursery rhymes, but it came in handy ;).

Saturday night was our GNO. Miss Julie stayed at the hotel and relaxed while Jess, Jolee and I went to the Mandalay Bay for some Vegas fun!

Our only plan was to check out the Ice Bar called Minus 5*. We did, and it was AMAZING! We rocked our awesome coats, mittens and boots and sat in a bar made completely out of ice and had a couple drinks! I feel like I got my winter experience in there. Who needs snow when you can sit in a bar made of ice!

We also were wrangled into going to the Foundation Room, which is the rooftop bar at Mandalay Bay. We called it the 40 and up bar because, well, we were probably the youngest ones there! There was an amazing view up there, but it was too cold to be sanding on the patio (we didn't have our snazzy coats from the Ice Bar!).

For Vegas, it was a low key night! We were ready to hit the hay by 1:30 and were snuggled in bed by 2!

Sunday, we met back up with Kim and her crew to have lunch at Margarittaville, then hit the road to head home. Lucky for us, we left right before the Super Bowl started so we missed all the traffic!

All in all, it was a great weekend with wonderful friends!

Now I'm off to take my puppers to the beach so we can enjoy the beautiful weather we're having!

Until next time!
