My baby sister is getting married. When the baby gets married, the family (& friends) celebrates!!! So why not go to Vegas?!?! Right!?!?! We had a blast!
Here we are at the airport bar at 7 am where we drank $12 Bloody Mary's! I HATE Bloody Mary's but for $12 I choked one down. From left to Right there is Adrienne - Joey's cousin, Amanda - friend, Ashely - our cousin and bridesmaid, Dana - Joey's cousin and bridesmaid, James!!!! The Bride To Be , and me... Maid (or is it Matron) of Honor
And as a nice surprise to my sister we got her an Escalade Limo to pick us up at the airport with roses and champagne. She really wanted one for her wedding but since the wedding party wouldn't all fit, she went with the party bus. The shirts were also a surprise to her. "Bachelorette Party in Progress: From Wisconsin to Las Vegas". I kept it a surprise from her for 8 months and as we were pulling into the airport to fly out to Vegas I let it slip. I'm such an idiot!!!
These are my sisters and I in the MGM Hotel/Casino. I think this is the only picture I have of us all together and I don't think I have any of us all with our mom. Oops.
Here are my sisters and my mom enjoying the "gift" our friend from Arizona drove over. It was full of Champagne, beer, Captain, Malibu, margaritas, soda, juice, water... it was a GREAT gift we ALL enjoyed!!! It was so great that she made it. It was a 4 hour drive for her so she was pretty much in her car the same amount of time we were in the air! :)
On Saturday I had one thing in mind... ESPN Zone to watch the Badgers beat Minnesota. Before I could do that though they drug me to the Mirage to see Dolphins and big cats... you know leopards, lions, llamas - ok not a cat but they were there. This is Brenda, Steph, me and Amanda.
One night we went to the Balagio (I am probably spelling that wrong) gourmet buffet. YUM. I was in love with the Lobster Ravioli and Chicken Pesto pasta. I know, Pasta, cheapest things there, but they were sooooo good. I ate my fill of sushi and shrimp and had a few crab legs which I normally love, but didn't there. The food was great though.
We might have been obsessed with the Piano bar at the New York, New York... it was definitely one of the highlights of the entire trip. I lost my voice I was singing so loudly. Good times.
Here's Amanda and I at the piano bar celebrating the Badgers big win!!
And Saturday night we went to Stomp Out Loud which was really cool. However, I had been to the Mirage, sat at ESPN Zone drinking 25 oz beers all afternoon, celebrating at the piano bar... all BEFORE we saw the show. Needless to say I had a blast just getting to the show.
A couple beers later, (after the show) we made it to Dicks Last Resort Restaurant. My hat says "Yes, I'm always this annoying" and I can't help but think I probably was pretty obnoxious at this point.
As we were all waiting in the lobby for the limo to come get us and take us back to the airport -quite hungover I might add- we realized no one had a picture of all of us yet so we quick snapped one. This is the entire group in all our sweat pant, hang over glory. Good times.
