Girls weekend

This last weekend I got to take a girls weekend and go to the IBS (international beauty show) in Las Vegas. I went with my friend Jackie, her sister Jenny, and Jackie's two co-workers Kristie and Heather. It was so much fun I drove down so I went and picked everyone up around 12:30 on Saturday. We drove straight to the mall when we got to Vegas had a quick lunch and we were off shopping! This I was excited for because it is so much nicer to shop without kids. After going to every store we wanted to, and I had bought something from almost every store I had gone in we left to go to our hotel. We stayed at the Springhills Marriott it's a new hotel that hasn't even been open a year, and it was super nice. Some of the girls were off to swim for an hour, but I stayed in my room and tried on all my new clothes to make sure I liked them.

Once they were done we all got ready to go out to dinner. On the way down we had talked about going to Joe's crab shack. Well we asked the front desk where the closest one was he told us Caesars Palace so we headed there we walked up to a man that said they only take reservations. (What kind of Joe's is this) not to mention he was wearing a suit and almost everyone eating there was nicely dressed. I was planning on a big seafood dinner with the bib and all. I looked at the sign and it just said Joe's seafood yeah wrong place, but he said that he could get us in so we thought we would give it a try. The food was good but for 5 of us to eat the ticket was almost $300.00 wow next time I will look a little harder for the Joe's crab shack!
We then went back to the hotel to drop Jenny off and we headed to Treasure Island to watch Cirque Du Soleil Mystere. It was so awesome, I have never seen a Vegas show and this was definitely weird, but really good! two of the girls left from there and went back to the hotel, Jackie, Kristie, and I were off to play in Vegas a little longer. We drove down the strip, and people watched went to a couple of stores, and by that time it was 2:30 a.m. so we decided we were ready to head back to go to bed. Well I was starving again by this time so me and Jackie bought some munchies at the hotel lobby (hot pockets, candy bar, and water) we went up to our room to cook them, woke Jenny up doing it. Then we stayed up a little longer eating our food, and laughing at anything, and everything you know when you get that tired everything is so funny! I had so much fun, I haven't had a sleepover with Jackie since we were probably in high school.

We woke up bright and early to get ready for the hair show and go have breakfast in the hotel Jackie and I thought it would be a good idea to wear our pajamas down to breakfast, well we were the only ones out of about 30 people in our pj's it was a little awkward I thought. But oh well I knew I would never see these people again. We went to the hair show had an amazing time shopping there again for great deals, I left there with a few bags and boxes. I am so glad now that I went I was worried about leaving my husband and kids alone, but it was definitely a needed getaway! Thanks girls for letting me come and tag along, and thanks CJ for being Mr. mom for the weekend I love you so much and really had a great time lets do it again next year!! I didn't get a lot of pictures because my camera is bigger, and I didn't want to tote it around everywhere but these are the few I did get!
