Vegas Baby!

Back in Oct. (2008) I took my first girls trip since my kids were born (almost 4 1/2 yrs.). Mark gets to go backpacking every summer with the guys so I figured it was my turn. Anyhooo it was just what this mommy needed. I got to go with my mom, sister, cousins, aunts and my old college roommate Mandy. We stayed in a condo just south of the strip complete with three large pools and a lazy river. Our days were spent shopping, exploring casinos, visiting baby dolphins and baby tigers, lounging around the pool, eating yummy food and all around enjoying our freedom. I'd have to say the highlight of the trip was the Cirque du Soleil show "O". It was a mix between acrobatics, synchronized swimming, high diving and dance. One of the most amazing and entertaining shows Ive ever seen. I highly recommend it! Fun times.....just not long enough!
