Girls Weekend Away

For Christmas, David and some other great husbands, got myself and some girlfriends a girls weekend away to Vegas. So, this past weekend we headed to the airport and flew to Vegas for three days of relaxation, no kids and tons of food and shopping. It was SO WONDERFUL. We did have to wake up very early two of the days to catch our flights there and back, so we really only got one day of sleeping in, but it was nice.

Once we arrived and found our hotel, we headed out for some food. We ate at a buffet at the Bellagio Hotel and the choices were endless! My favorite was the endless desserts!! Then we picked up tickets to see the Cirque Du Soleil "O" show that our husbands had gotten for us. The show was amazing and we all would highly recommend anyone to see it!! Then we headed back to the hotel to sleep because we were exhausted. Getting ready to leave your kids with your husband for three days and packing and then catching a very early flight put a toll on all of us.

The next morning we slept in - 8:30! WOHOO! We took our time getting ready for the day and ended up having more of lunch than breakfast that morning. After we ate we headed to the spa for mani/pedi's. We all decided to get acrylic nails, which are fun to have, but I won't do it again. It's a little extravagant for me and I don't really feel like myself. Plus, it's taken me twice as long to type this post with the long nails because I keep hitting all the wrong keys.





After the spa we walked the Vegas Strip and did some shopping at the M&M store. Then we decided we were more Target/Walmart shoppers than "Vegas Strip" shoppers. So, we headed out to some more ruals areas of Vegas to do more shopping. And of course, our trip wasn't complete until we had eaten at Cafe Rio! YUMMO! I love that place.

That night we hit the hot tub and then packed to come home. We were having such a great time that we actually called the airline to see if we could change our tickets! It would of cost too much, so we were up early the next morning and on our way home.

We had such a great time, and kept thinking how we would ever top something like that for our husbands. They really are great guys! The whole weekend was full of laughs and good company. Next time, we hope to include more of our friends for even more fun.

Sounds really fun. I got my nails done once too and that was the first and last time. I am not a long nail girl at all...I love how they look, but just not for me. Your toe nails all turned out so cute.
