My first thought was to enjoy the (very long) flight over to Vegas. No child in tow...of course it would be enjoyable. I bought a book (Confessions of a Shopaholic) and Shane picked me up a bag of chocolate covered bing cherries. Everything I needed for some "me" time in the air. Unfortunately, I remembered very quickly how much I hate flying. I love (love) traveling. I hate (hate) flying. The combination of motion sickness and claustrophobia make any flight over a couple hours hellish. My first transatlantic flight when I was 17 still holds a place as one of the 5 worst days of my life.


By the time I arrived in Vegas, I was trashed and it was midnight my time. My sister, Abby, and I had scheduled our flights to arrive the same time. Abby was worse than me. Sick with the flu, she looked like she was knocking on death's door. We could have (should have) just gone straight to bed. However....it's Vegas. :) We decided to hit the strip for a few hours. I love Vegas. It is so completely and utterly bizarre. Some of my favorite memories are road tripping with friends to Vegas for a weekend. Even without gambling, drinking...and all the other obvious things that happen and apparently stay in Vegas, it can be a great place to just get away. And nothing is hotter than a really pregnant women walking down the Vegas strip at night....oh wait. I mean anything is hotter than that :) - Did know that Cher performs at the Colosseum? There is an entire gift shop there totally dedicated to her. I was so close to getting Shane a glitter Cher t-shirt. What a totally awesome waste of money that would have been. (I really thought Cher was in a nursing home or something. Way to go Botox.)



The wedding was beautiful, as was the bride. I will post about the events next week along with some photos - once I make it though the 200 photos I snapped. I really hope I look better in the professional photos than the ones taken with my camera. I look exactly like a sack of potatoes in my brown maternity bridesmaid outfit :)
Congrats Molly and Wayne! Thanks Mom and Dad for a great weekend!

13 PEOPLE HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY:
- This is a wonderful post! I leave Friday for Vegas with some girlfriends (oh yes! I'm leaving the Hubby and kids behind for the first holiday without them!)...... and I cannot wait! We're still in snow land here so anything above 0 is something I'm willing to put up with! *L* ;P
- Colored jeans are coming back?! In what cut? Boot leg/flared or the mommy-style cut that they were back in the day? Ack! LOL I hate flying too. Actually, I take that back. I don't hate flying. I hate the thought of crashing. There's just something very unnatural about being in a metal tube 30,000 feet in the air going 300 miles per hour! ;)
- You and your sister look so similar. How fun is that!? Glad you had some time to yourself. Now, it's baby time.
- Molly does make a beautiful bride doesn't she.
- Arrived here to offer an official welcome to SiTS!! However, I will be sticking around because your blog has to be hands down one of the most gorgeous I have ever seen. (and I'm currently smack in the middle of spring break entertaining two little boys - I'll be back when I have time to pay due respect.) Em
- ♥ What a fun trip minus the motion sickness! :)
- I can't wait to see more pictures. The description of you in that pool made me want to go on vacation sooo badly! Sounds awesome!
- Sounds like a fun vacay! P.S. Ugh colored jeans are never ok! I kid you not there was a girl at my work wearing neon yellow the other day!!
- very good blog, congratulations regard from Reus Catalonia thank you
- Thanks Nat. I appreciate the "death's door" comment. :) What's great is someone said how much we look alike...
- Ahhhhhhh....the teal skinny jeans WITH the yellow shirt and green cardigan. It was very Easter Eggish!
- I'm so glad you pointed that out when you did. I was so involved with my Starbucks, I almost missed it. Thanks again for the treat!
- Vegas is on my "must see" list, and it looks like you have photographic evidence of why :0) Visiting you from SITS. Have a wonderful day!
