This Little Piggy went to Vegas

Don't get grossed out by the condition of my feet in this picture, I have a very good reason why my feet were so swollen. Friday morning while in Vegas Condra and I did our 22 mile run. I was in Vegas b/c I flew my mom out here to watch the girls while I went up to Alaska to visit Chad. That trip was canceled when the ship decided not to go. So what is a mom to do with Nana coming to visit and no place to go...sounds like a girl's weekend in Vegas. Condra, Jen, Meredith and I packed our bags and headed out. We got in Thursday afternoon and checked into the Mirage. That night we had reservations at Wolfgang Puck and tickets to Ka, the Cirque de Soile show. We had 4th row center and the show blew us away.

Friday morning Condra and I got up at 5:00 a.m. to go for our run. As we were leaving the hotel, many people were just coming in. The run was awesome and it felt like such an accomplishment. The weather was more hot and dry then we were used to. We stopped at four fast food joints to fill up our water bottles. Coach Paul say we should now be ready for our marathon. I had scheduled us massages at the spa. That was the most amazing experience. The spa was SO nice and we were totally indulged. Meredith came in that night. We had dinner at Voo Doo Steak at the Rio and later danced our night away until after 4:00 a.m. Not bad for a bunch of moms.



We were at the pool the next morning by 8:00 a.m. to get chairs. Once we secured our spots we walked to Paris for crepes. Can I say YUM? Back to the pool for some napping and sunning. Saturday night was low key in comparison. We ate dinner at Olives and shopped at the Forum shops in Caesars.
This weekend was unbelievable. We laughed, we relaxed, we shopped, we ate, we did it all. Thanks Nana for making it all happen.

These are the flowers at the Bellagio. It was stunning exhibit.
