What happens in Vegas...

Woo hoo - the girls trip has finally arrived! Vegas here we come!

This morning I found myself waking up to my alarm at 3:50am to get ready and be on a plane to Vegas by 6:30am. My friend HK and I opted to take the 1st flight out of town while the other girls waited to take the 5pm flight.
Once we landed, we quickly made way to the baggage claim and out the door to find a shuttle to the hotel. It was a shuttle-trip from hell as we made stops to each and every hotel as well as battled Vegas traffic. My neck still hurts from the whiplash I endured while the shuttle driver sped up & slammed on his brakes repeatedly. Since I hadn't eaten anything the entire morning I was nauseated and ready to throw up when we finally arrived to Treasure Island - but still managed to smile for a picture!
After my nausea had subsided, we ate lunch and hung out in the hotel waiting for 11am to roll around so we could check in. Once we got settled, we put on our swimsuits and headed to the pool to wait for the other girls. It was SO nice to spend some one-on-one time with Heather (HK) before everyone else got there! We started off our vacation with some bonding, some pool-time & a couple of ice-cold beverages - perfect!

The ladies arrived to the hotel around 6pm and we all gathered for dinner at Pizza Francesca's - an italian kitchen right there in the hotel. After we dined on 3 different kinds of yummy stone-pizzas & shared 3 bottles of red wine, we all made our way back to our rooms to get ready for our 1st night out on the town. We ended up going across the street to a nightclub at the Wynn called Blush. After a $10 Bud Light ( I kid you not) and some booty shaking, we all decided we were tired from the travels earlier in the day and made our way back to the hotel where we stayed up for another couple of hours chatting away. It was an awesome day and we were looking forward to what fun & surprises the weekend had in store for us!
