And then there was VEGAS!!!!! YAY!!!! I love it! This year, I went with my friend Tia. We had so much fun. My first time to Vegas (last summer), I went a little overboard on the spending b/c there was just TOO MUCH!!! This year, I was prepared and we were very frugal!!! Our hotel, flight, food, and entertainment was around $600! That is a nice, cheap vacation! It really was great! We stayed at Paris...and it was beautiful! Our favorite meal was Sunday brunch at the Palms. Its their mexican restaurant and on Sundays they have a Margarita Brunch...all you can eat breakfast and mexican food...and all you can drink margaritas!!! Our favorite was the french toast with CARAMEL SYRUP!!!!! I think we had at least 2 servings!!!! A-MA-ZING!!!! Our favorite show was a dinner theater...it was a murder mystery in old downtown. The Freemont experience was really cool! We met some really fun people and had a great time there. Our other favorite thing was to spend time at the POOL!!!! :) We had a great time!
This is a view of our entire hotel from across the street.
And this is the view from our room!
This is the inside of our hotel. The entire thing is designed to look like you are walking the streets of Paris. It was great!
Right outside the hotel....obviously the night view of the Eiffel Tower.
The pool...this is a view from our room.
After a morning of laying out and swimming!
The two wedding chapels that were open! I was actually surprised at how pretty they were. I think I just have this idea in my head of what "Vegas Weddings" are like. They actually have a staff to coordinate the wedding!
This is the old downtown...they call it the Freemont Experience. Its really neat! They have closed off the street and its covered. The entire street lights up and they play music. You can see the lights on the over us, right past the "Queens" casino.
On the Strip:
Playing the slots....thats the only thing I do play. I think I spent about $15 total the entire trip.
A night out (every night was really a night out)...but this was the night we got really dressed up and went to see a REAL Vegas-style show, Jubilee!
And when I got home, I had these waiting for me! :)
Towards the end of July, my niece (Kassie) came to stay with me. We had a good time! She hung out with me and my girlfriends the first night she got there. We ate at a Japanese restaurant and sat at the hybachi table. After dinner we went SHOPPING! The next day we travelled to OKC to see Michelle and Finley! There we were also able to meet up with my college roommate, Fizz (her real name is Stephanie, but we call her Fizz), and her family. We ate at Olive Garden and then did some shopping there too. Kass and I had a good time....her last night, we made her a t-shirt. She ended up just loving Lexis (our German Shepherd). My brother and his family came to Stillwater to pick her up...my favorite was my nephew was scared of Ken's car! :) He wouldn't get too close to it. It was cute!
The rest of these are just random pictures from the month....stuff out at the house, our neighbors, and Ken's new addition!
Hanging out with our neighbors...Ken has some serious tractor-envy!
We had a pretty rough storm in July. Here is some of the damage and then our big fire to burn it all!
And here is Ken's new addition to our home. He has been waiting over 2 years to get his little friend...and its finally here!!!
