Viva Las Vegas!

Last week's girls trip to Vegas was great! Thanks to Cynthia for wanting to get out of town before she has her baby and to Sunny for putting the whole thing in motion. 13 of us went and it felt like the entire weekend flew by. It was great to see Dianne, who flew up from California to meet us. Phantom was amazing--although it felt like it played in fast-forward because they shortened it and played around with the plot a little.

The weather was perfect, as was the 45 min. or so I spent out by the pool taking a little nap :) Shopping was fun. I dragged everyone to Sephora twice and ended up buying nothing--sorry, girls. The outlets, however yielded two cute shirts, a pair of shorts, a new little wallet and a cute pair of ballet flats!

The crepes, pastries and $3 bottles of Diet Coke were totally worth it; the Bellagio water shows at 11:30 at night were so much fun, especially because Cynthia loves them. I got some great shots of the water and some cute ones of the girls all staring at it. It felt very Oceans 11.
I also learned a few things on this trip:

• Allow sleeping Connies their own space.
• You can never out-last two pregnant sisters in Vegas no matter how hard you try.
• Make sure the makeup lady who watched you smudge the lipgloss and the eyeshadow has actually left for the day before you walk back into Sephora again.
• Cheesecake Factory salads are a whopping bowl of lettuce--enough for at least four people.
• Never wear your comfy heels for a two mile stroll down the strip; you'll end up buying flip-flops.
• Next time, make it a four-day trip so you can vege by the pool with all your girlfriends for a relaxing day.
