Vegas for my 31st

So Friday afternoon I was sitting at my desk at work and was trying to figure out what I wanted to do for my birthday Saturday. I wasn’t satisfied with any plans (other than my original that I have been saying ALL year that I wanted to go to Disneyland and watch it snow) so I starting thinking “outside the box.” About 10am it hit me…..I wanna go to Vegas for my bday! I called Drake and we looked at hotel prices and how we could pull it off, called Gus (2 hours later mind you) and told him “I know what I wanna do for my 31st…..VEGAS!!!” He said “let’s do it” and off we went!!! Maiza hooked us up with some JetBlue tickets so Saturday morning we were off Jet Setting for a whirl wind trip!  Jeff is there too, he just didn't land in front of the camera, hahaha.


We arrived and checked in at Planet Hollywood and went to lunch at Margaritaville, Drake and I had the Perfect Margaritas and were loving them!!! After lunch Drake and I hit the Forum Shops and sent the guys off to watch sports, we walked a TON and then headed back to the room to get ready for dinner. PH has PF Changs inside and that is my all time #1 favorite restaurant so of course we went there and our dinner was SOOO good! After stuffing ourselves and watching Jeff fall asleep at the table we decided to hit the blackjack tables and try our hand at lady luck….well the guys did, Drake and I had a photo session with a slot machine. Gus was on a hot streak and won!! He was a good hubby and handed me the chips and said go shopping tomorrow!





After staying up WAY too late we all headed to bed for a few hours of sleep, and I mean a few! Sunday we went to the buffet and then hit the mall again. Becky and Chris were there on a weekend getaway and she walked (a long way) to come meet us at the Miracle Mile Shops. We had a great time shopping and I used a little of the $ to get a couple small things, the rest went right back into savings for the house.  Cutting it close after the Titans/Dolphins OT game we booked it to the airport and while we were waiting for the plane we ran into Guy Fieri, he is one of our favorite TV personalities and he was so nice, what a great way to end my 31st birthday!







When I got home Jordan was glued to my lap while I was posting pics...Michaela is on the floor next to me, they missed us.  I had the BEST birthday yet, thank you for all the messages and love!
