Vegas baby!


Also enjoying Katy Perry's new song Waking Up In Vegas..makes me want to dance! I have only woken up once in Vegas..actually went to bed that morning at 7 and slept till noon but I am pretty sure I did wake up with some glitter on my clothes. Was visiting my best friend who lives in LA shortly after she moved out there when we were 22 and after spending the week with her and her sister I was due to fly home Saturday but at the last minute Friday night we decided to drive to Vegas. I changed my flight to Sunday (and gave up a first class ticket to do so) but wow was it worth it. The drive from LA is incredible. We left LA about 7pm after the girls finished work and got into Vegas about 11pm. An hour outside of Vegas you can begin to see sin city as the entire sky is lit up by all the lights. We checked into our hotel, left our watches behind and hit the clubs and casino. What a great night. Walked out of the last club not knowing what time it was but realizing it was light out. Asked the doormen at the hotel the time and was surprised to find it was already 7am!. After a few hours of sleep we spent the day by the pool and then changed in the hotel lobby washroom as we had checked out of our room. We hit the casinos until 2 or 3 am Sat night and then headed back to LA where they dropped me off at the airport just in time for my flight home. Ah...those were the days. This is a pic of us by the pool that day!

I wonder if you could handle THAT kind of pace today momma kee? hehehe
I would love to do that drive though. I've driven into Vegas at night and the lights in the distance just appear as a glow on the horizon of a dark landscape.
ooh that sounds very poetic no?
