I just got back from my Vegas trip with Rachael. It was SO much fun! It was exactly what I've been needing. I got in Wednesday morning. Mom picked me up from the airport. We went to breakfast, and she took me to the store so I could get some booze to drink in our room (trying to keep the costs down yo!) Then we went to her apartment, and hung out there. Her friend, Missy, came over, and the 3 of us headed to the pool. We spent most of the afternoon by the pool, then Mom took me to check into the MGM. She hung out with me for awhile in the hotel room, and we talked a bit. It's a really difficult time for my family. My parents are going through a lot, and for the first time in 29 years, we're not sure if they'll be able to pull through this marriage in tact. I see both sides, and I see faults in both. It's hard. 
Rachael got in Wednesday night at 11pm. She got to the hotel, and we just hung out there, enjoying our cheap cocktails while catching up. We did venture out of our room to grab a bite to eat prior to passing out for the night. Or should I say morning?
Thursday, we hung out at the pool all day, then got cleaned up & headed down to Diego to partake in their happy hour. We enjoyed a delicious pitcher of sangria between the two of us, and had some yummy appetizers. We got the bright idea to go to the Wynn, as Rach hadn't seen it yet. We hopped on the monorail, but were pretty discouraged, when we were dropped off at Harrah's, the "closest" stop to the Wynn, which was definitely not close. So we walked to the Venetian, and had a cocktail there. One of Sam's friends that he used to work with was also in Vegas for the weekend, as well as a friend of a friend of Rachael's. So we decided to meet up with them, at their hotel. The freaking Stratosphere. Which is at what seems like the other end of the world. So we hop on the monorail again, only to be dropped off at Sahara. After grabbing another cocktail for the road (do you see a pattern here?) we trekked across the street to Stratosphere, plopped our butts in comfy lounge chairs for the next several hours, and had a fabulous time, filled with tons of laughter with Denise, Kim & Rach. 
Friday, we headed to the pool once again. We didn't stay quite as long, as it got really crowded, and turned into a "meet market" type scene. Not quite our deal. So we headed back up to our room, and had our own happy hour before getting ready to go to Beatles Love. Which was ah-maze-ing. Seriously. SO awesome. I highly recommend it! We were pretty pooped after the sun, booze & Beatles, so we headed back to our room & crashed relatively early
Saturday, we were both pretty much done & ready to go home. We checked out of the hotel, and went and grabbed some breakfast. My Mom met up with us, and we enjoyed our breakfast together. We wandered around for a little while, and decided to head to the airport early, as we had our sensory overload fill. So, that was our trip in a nutshell. Like I said, it was SO much fun. The perfect mixture of relaxation, drunkeness, laughs & most importantly much needed girl time.
