Vegas & Nola

Time to play catch up on our recent travels!

We spent Valentine's Day weekend in Vegas this year.

I always tell the hubby I'm sick of going to Vegas because 

we go so much & I'd rather visit some new places that we've 

never been to before.

But...we always have a blast in Vegas each and every time!

This time was no different.

We went because my brother invited us as this was

his "honeymoon."

So we were there with my brother & his wife and

my brother's best friend & his wife.

It just so happened that my best friend's sister & her husband

were also there that weekend as well as another friend of mine

that drove up from Arizona.

We gambled some, caught two shows Zarkana & Zumanity (which we didn't really care for either show), hopped on a party bus and went to 3 clubs (Haze, Surrender, & Pure), walked the strip, ate lots of great food, & had an overall fabulous time!

  

I almost hit $500k!

 

Toe socks I wore to "try" and help my feet from a night in heels!

These just helped with friction, but that's about it.

 2 weekends ago we decided at the last minute to go

to Mardi Gras for a day.

I'm glad we went because we had a great time, I can say I've

been, & I just love going to Nola.

The city is already full of crazy people but I think

Mardi Gras brings out the crazy people to the 10th power!

We'll be back in New Orleans next month because we're going on a one week cruise to Mexico, Honduras, & Belize. 

I'm so happy it ports out of Nola so we can get there a day early

and enjoy the city again without so much chaos!

Viva Las Vegas!

I am SO excited that we have decided to go to Las Vegas (yet again) for the 4th of July! We even decided to rescheduled our May 1st cruise to the Bahamas just so we can save a little more for VEGAS! Yes, I we love to gamble! So we need to save as much as possible.

As much as I love Vegas, year after year we say we're going to go somewhere else. But with all the wonderful free Hotel offers, it's just a great deal. This time we had free hotel offers from the Venetian & Caesars Palace. We've stayed at the Venetian for the last 4 trips so this time we decided to try out Caesars.

 We absolutely love Las Vegas and I never get tired of going. I feel like a teen when I'm there! LOL! But seriously, we have got to stop going every year. The one major bonus is my bestie Lynda lives in AZ so she always meets us out there. So I get to see her once a year. :)

So to get in shape for Vegas, today was day 1 of Jillian Micheal's 30 day shred. I've read a lot of good reviews so I am very optimistic! She is NO.JOKE.

I also had a friend tell me about something called SENSA. Have any of you heard of it or tried it? My friend has gone from a size 22 to 16 in 3 months. I did a little research but I am always skeptical of things that sound too good to be true. I've read a lot of good reviews so far though. If anyone decides to try it, go to GNC and avoid any auto-ship charges.

As for tonight's weekly dinner, we have decided this week's theme will be "Breakfast for Dinner"!

Pics will be posted tomorrow!

Happy Thursday All!
