I went to Vegas last week. Have you heard? It was awesome! And exhausting, expensive, excessive, and tons of fun! It took me awhile to get out there because I was flying standby and didn’t make it on the first two flights. I stayed a night in Boston with Lauren’s brother, then back to the airport bright and early to miss a few more flights. Ugh. I ended up just buying a regular ticket and that got me to Vegas pretty quickly. It was great catching up with my college roomies. We spent the days by the pool (not as tough as I thought it might be!) and the nights getting dressed up, dancing, and paying $14 for drinks! Eek! :) Luckily my standby flights on the way home went much more smoothly. Alan and the kids picked me up at the airport and we spent about an hour hanging out there, having dinner, watching planes, exploring the parking garage, ec.
Here are a few pictures.
A night view from our hotel. We were on the 25th floor of an awesome new hotel! The whole place was digitally controlled and very fancy.

Where we spent our days.

Lauren, Kim, Amy and me at the club drinking $14 drinks. Yum!
This was about the extent of my gambling, loosing $2 on a black jack computer at the bar.
Do you see where we are sitting? Lauren was so smart and brought the boas along to the pool to make it easy for us all to gather.
Out to dinner our last night
Our elavator had a mirror wall, so we took a lot of mirror pictures :)
Freemont Street. Old school Las Vegas. Check out the roof of this street. Yep, the roof. Every hour or so they darken the street and do a light show on the ceiling. It's pretty cool.
All dolled up on Freemont Street
The light show
What a happy time. So glad you finally made it and had fun. In the picture, “Daytime view from the hotel,” just above the “MGM” black tower there is a slight dip in the hill in the distance. That dip is where we erected our antennas for an exercise in 1978. Oh, well, sorry. All of you looked GREAT, and more importantly happy. So welcome back, love you.
Tessa Dawn!!! Love the pics. Cant believe you beat me to Vegas. haha.
The night you all went out in brightly colored dresses is very cute, looks almost planned.
Glad you had fun, and Glad to have you back safely.
Wow! You all look GREAT! I love the pic of you all in rainbow dresses your last night! I’m so glad you had a good time! Love, Leanne
Had a great weekend with you! I can’t believe how fast 3 days can go by :(
