What happens there stays there….

Did you miss me? Sorry for the lack of posting….we’ve been on a mini vacation! The husband and I set off for Las Vegas on Thursday and just got back Monday. We went with two of our favorite couples: Mo and Ali, and Erin and Mike. Needless to say, we had a blast! It was the perfect mix of sleeping in, eating great food, yummy cocktails by the pool, fun shows, and nights out.

I didn’t take nearly enough pictures. But Erin has some cute ones on her blog right now. When she sends me some I’ll post them. Her pictures are leaps and bounds better than mine!

Photobucket The husband won $150 on a Deal or No Deal slot machine. It was so fun to watch the amount keep going up and up. We cashed out pretty quickly since we’re not really big gamblers.

Me with the Shake Your Booty machine. I did NOT play it. But the husband thought it was funny.
We all stayed at the Wynn and it was gorgeous!

Our room.

Hello awesome view!
Photobucket And the buffet. Oh my word.  
Photobucket The dessert bar was to die for. We talked about it all weekend. So yummy.  
Photobucket And does this dress look familiar?

Let me give you a hint….
I thought Mandy Moore looked great at the Oscars. This dress was seriously amazing and so beautiful in person. I had to stop and stare each time we walked by (which was a lot because it was in a store in our hotel!)

We had a great time with great friends. Now we just need to adjust to Michigan time and weather again. Is it spring yet????

Can you take my picture? »
