I got back yesterday from my annual girls trip to Las Vegas. This year it was just Vicky and I, but we had a great time. I had a much better trip this year–although last years trip was not hard to beat. Last year I ended up in a clinic with and I.V. and 3 liters of fluid. Then I flew home a day early. Not too hard to beat, huh?

We arrived on Sunday and stayed at the Bellagio again. We checked in and then decided to have lunch and do some shopping. The last time I was in Las Vegas I had seen an ad for a place called Stripburger and I wanted to try it. It was a cute little outdoor burger joint. I really enjoyed their signature burger–the blue cheese burger–and sweet potato fries. After we were both stuffed, we did a little shopping. Both Vicky and I found a few cute things. We walked like crazy and we were both ready to head back to the hotel after a few hours.

We both wanted to do some typical Vegas activities, so we got tickets to see Cher and then we scored opening night tickets to see The Lion King.

We saw Cher the first night and it was a lot of fun. She was very entertaining. She was hilarious and looked amazing for a woman in her sixties. She had some amazing costumes and I really enjoyed the music. I thought the show was thoroughly entertaining.

The next two days we parked ourselves at the pool and hardly moved. I read 2 books and totally enjoyed just relaxing all day.

The last night we went to see The Lion King. I love musicals and this one did not disappoint. It was amazing! The costumes were incredible and I loved the music.

Our whole trip was just perfect for me. I enjoyed Vicky’s company. We were perfect together because we both wanted to do the same thing the whole time. I can’t wait to do it again next year!
