Three Trips + Two Weekends = Good Times

As I mentioned before, for our 10th anniversary Matt gave me a trip to Chicago to see the Broadway musical, "Wicked" and another trip to Las Vegas with my best friend Brittney with a stop in Utah to see my aunt & uncle & cousins on the way home. Here are pictures from the trips.

First Stop: CHICAGO

From the plane

Such an AMAZING show! We laughed and laughed! It closed in Chicago the night after we saw it.

Second Stop: LAS VEGAS!

M&M World:

I could write a whole blog about this. It was a dream come true. The only thing that would have made it better is if you had your very own M&M tank where you jump in and eat! Remember those cages with plastic balls - yep, that's what I'm talkin' about!

We stayed at Treasure Island. It was much nicer than we expected!

The STRIP! We must have walked a zillion miles going up and down the strip. The hardest part of the whole experience was keeping your eyes off the ground. There were millions of disgusting pictures on the ground and that's all I'm gonna say about that.....

The Water Show at the Bellagio - this is where they filmed Ocean's Eleven

The SLOTS! Had to get a picture although I can still say I've never gambled.....

Okay, so Brittney put in a dollar and won $3 just for fun on our first night but she wanted to get rid of the ticket so the next night she put it in a machine and lost it all....I caught myself thinking, "Let's do that again" and then realized that's how it all starts! So, we got over the loss and moved on! The SPA! This was our first time at a spa. We got facials and fake eyelashes! So fun!
The Living Garden: You can find street performers all over that look like statues. One of them freaked me out b/c he was perfectly still but his eyes moved with me as I walked past. Ahhh!
The Las Vegas BUFFETS: These are all over the place. All-you-can-eat! Need I say more? Brittney was craving the cotton candy.
The SHOWS: We saw the "Cirque Du Soleil: Mystere" which was filled with amazing acrobatics, flexibility, strength, kind of a weird plot but great overall.
After the show: A little crazy
And FINALLY: Elvis!

Last Stop: UTAH

I got to see my aunt and uncle and cousins. We had Sunday dinner together and it was a blast! I wish we lived closer! They are really cool!



Thank you, Matt for the wonderful trips and memories!!! I love you so much!!!
