What Happened In Vegas Isn't Going to Stay In Vegas!

I just got back from a 5 day trip to Vegas to visit my bff Savannah. I stayed at her and JB's apartment in good 'ole Hendo (that's for you roommate! :)) That's Henderson for all you non-vegas locals! We had such a blast! We basically did nothing but lay by the pool and eat most of the time (I feel like I ate so much...I had to keep up with prego). Here are the highlights:

• The flight there was miserable. I was in the very last row of the plane and never got so motion-sick in my life back there. Right before take off the pilot came on air and said, "Yeah...we have some possibly maintenance issues, but we should be fine." The landing was out of this world. People were raising their hands like they were on a rollercoaster, that's how bad the turbulance was and then everyone had to clap that the pilot actually landed the plane. I wanted to die.
• The first night there we played lots of RockBand. I had a sold out show on the drums and did an amazing rendition of Alanis Morrisette's You Outta Know (A-mazing...seriously...). This was also the first night roommate would complain that her back really hurt.
• Roommate & I got great pedicures the next day. I stuck with the good ole french manicure and Vanna picked out black...for SPRING!
• Laying by the pool was amazing.
• Roommate's back hurts again.
• We ate at Joe's Crab Shack, which was the most stressful meal I've ever eaten. There were like 5 birthdays and a disco ball hanging from the ceiling. Everytime it started spinning and flashing it's lights all the employees of the restaurant would scatter across the restaurant and do a little diddy dance. Uh, please don't. Then roommate and I couldn't crack open our crabby legs so JB had to do them all and complained all weekend that he punctured his thumb and it would never be the same. Ever.
• Roommate's back hurts again.
• That night we went and saw The Haunting Of Connecticut. Great flick. Minus the 20 billion middle schoolers that ran in 10 minutes into the movie. Then proceeded to run about the theater stomping their feet, climbed over chairs, switched chairs a billion times...then their cellphones would go off and they would talk extremely loud and this one girl kept laying across this guy, then get up, then lay across him again. It was ri-diculous. Prego wasn't having any of it so she went and got the manager and he shaped them up real quick.
• Roommate's back hurts again.
• On the way home from the movie, we saw a ridiculous drunk driver. I'm pretty sure they never made it to their destination.
• The next day we headed out to Primm, NV to ride the Desperado! Google it. You tube it. I don't care...it's crazy though. It was the highest and fastest roller coaster in 1998. The drop is higher than the casino and drops so far down, it even goes under ground. I wanted to die (again).
• Everywhere we drove we played "Name that band" for every song on the radio and I'll let you try and guess who won everytime. Music major or stay at home mom? Yup! That would be ME! Roommate knew nothing...she guessed either Goo Goo Dolls or Green Day...everytime.
• Again...roommate's back hurts.
• We watched Dan In Real Life. Also a great flick. In the midst, I had to grab a tissue from the bathroom...came back out and got bum-rushed by their 65lb. golden retriver named Bailey. Literally. Bum-rushed. She stole my tissue and ran and I went flying into the kitchen counter. Oh how to describe Bailey. The cutest darndest 10 month old golden puppy, but CRAZY. Think Marley & Me.
• We did lots of shopping as well on the strip and JB made us sit and watch a lame laser light show at Caesar's.
• Then some crazy guy came up to JB and goes, "Scuse me...are you from the United States?" Uh....yeeeessss?
• The last night we ate out at PF Changs where roommate swore up and down to China that she was so freezing cold she couldn't handle it (FYI: it was 95 degress out) so proceeded to dramatically order hot tea then just at the waiter was bringing it out, she flipped out and all of a sudden was sweating bullets and changed her mind and needed an ice water. Then JB ordered a coke...extra cold.
• Oh yeah...and her back hurt...AGAIN. :)
• All in all, it was a GREAT trip! Can't wait to do it all again!
