Ah, the feeling of a good vacation. A suitcase full of dirty clothes, a sunburn and an equal feeling of being relaxed and run down. Yup, that's me! Returning from 6 nights and 7 days out in the desert. Destination Vegas was a mix of quality time with an old friend, being crazy with a soon to be newly-wed cousin and the Hubby enjoying his favorite pastime of, you guessed it, gambling!
We have an old friend that moved to Vegas a couple years ago, so to make the trip a bit cheaper, (what happened to cheap flights to Vegas?) we stay with her and her husband. We flew out last year, that was when we met her husband for the first time and the two men hit it off immediately! Tanner had lived in Vegas for 2 years and had never gambled, so Hubby had a great time showing him the ropes, and wouldn't you know it, beginners luck is a great thing. However, for this trip, I think Tanner was more of Hubby's lucky charm, he can roll a mean hard 8! Unfortunately we didn't come back millionaires. Only with some great laughs and memories with those two! I'll take that any day! I can't express enough thanks for the hospitality they showed us. Stocked fridge, private pool, and even let us borrower the car so we could have a date on our own. I hope they can make it out this summer so we can show them the same, plus it has been way to many years since Erin has been back in town. Looking forward to back-roading and taking the boat out when they do come, just like the good old days.
As for the crazy cousin... Wow, I'm too old to be "clubbing" or maybe it was me wearing the stilettos, or was it trying to keep up with 8 twenty-somethings, wow. But it was quite the experience, nothing like "Hangover", but an experience that I'm glad I did. And might have to do again, when the even younger cousin gets married...
So, I'll leave you with a picture of what Erin and I did the whole time. Yup, that was laugh! And maybe cry a time or two too... But it was good to see an old friend. Even thought it feels great to be back home!
