viva las vegas!

We made it!! We are in Vegas for 2012 girls trip. We left really early in the morning, our plane left at 6am! We didn't want a single minute of this trip to go to waste, so as soon as we landed we headed out to have some fun. We all look forward to this trip all year, and are beyond excited that we are stroller free! We are ready to eat lots of treats, hit the spa, have uninterrupted girl talk, and make some memories.

My new favorite place, Serendipity! If I could I would order takeout and have it shipped to me! It was just that yummy! We ate here at least 4 times! It was so cutesy and just a fun environment. The food was delish and everything I ate seemed to be yummier than the food before. I am drooling now just thinking of it!

walking the strip, here we stopped to see the fountains at the Bellagio.

another stop at Serendipity...just one of many for us!

just being silly...

my favorite place... the spa at the Wynn was incredible! It was just what these mammas needed! We spent almost 2 days here!

Infront of the Wynn, this hotel is beautiful. The lobby looks like something out of a fairytale. The weather was beautiful and the no humidity made our hair styling as easy as pie. We stayed right across from the mall, which was another positive. One day we spent at least 45 minutes in the bag department as Macys. The time was well spent because we all came out with some fabulous new bags!!

Here we are with some of the Cake Bosses (pastry chefs/reality stars on TLC), Missy and Katelyn were not sure who they were but I knew and was happy to say hello. We ran into them in the Palazzo at Del Monicos ( a yummy steakhouse, that Geoffrey made me promise we would eat at). The food was delicious and the ceasar salad was the best I have ever eaten. It wasn't Missy's favorite place but she made due with her tomato soup/grill cheese! Yea that's right she ordered grill cheese at a steakhouse! In Katelyn's words, "she has cheap tastebuds!" But we love her for it!;) After dinner we headed with our really full bellies back to the Wynn to catch the show Le Reve. This show was amazing!! We had really great seats only 2 aisles up and could see everything! It is incredible what these performers can do, flipping and flying through the air and, then diving deep into the water. Just breathtaking!

One of the many treats we treated ourselves too. Our dining went a little like this... Breakfast, Lunch, snack, Dinner, and then much much later appetizers and dessert again. I never eat like this, but it was really fun to let go and eat desserts twice a day! I mean who wouldn't want to eat this cake twice a day?!

We saw this statue in the aquarium at the Mandalay Bay and I couldn't resist to snap a picture of Katelyn and her belly! Look same, same!

We also took a gondola ride through the Venetian. I have never done this before and it was very touristy but it was fun and our guide was really good at singing. It was also nice for our feet to rest a little bit. We are working up our appetite for another treat. After our ride we hit the Grand Luxe, its like cheesecake factory but so much better! Then we headed to the stratosphere to see the strip from the sky. Unfortunately, it was too windy so Missy didn't get to ride the roller coaster like she wanted. :) After the stratosphere we took a cab to the old Vegas to zipline. It was so cold and really late but it was a lot of fun, and something that I have never done before. It was a great last night out!

we zip lined under the canopy of lights. It was really neat.

In our limo on the way to the airport, ready to head home to our families. I am sad that this trip is coming to a close but very excited to see my boys. I am already thinking of where to go next!
