Yesterday it reached 100 degrees where I live. 100 FRICKEN DEGREES in May! It’s completely baffling me and I feel like I’m switching from Winter to Summer….. where is Spring? I’m not ready for swimming pools and beaches….. or am I????

This weather has me thinking about this summer vacations, and thinking of summer vacations has me thinking about how I haven’t gone on one in FOREVER. The last time I actually got a vacation was in June 2005. See what having kids does to you? I jumped on a plane, left the husband and kid at home, and went to go and watch my aunt get married. Let me just tell you, Vegas after you’re 21 and you’re not being an active Mormon is INSANE! I don’t think I’ve ever experienced anything like that in my life.

One of my aunt’s friends was a VIP manager of an after hours club in one of the casinos and got us in. You take an elevator down and we got set up in the VIP area and had Fillet Mignon, chocolate covered strawberries, endless drinks and anything that we wanted on the house. We got there at around 2am and it wasn’t really even packed – at 4am that’s when the party in there started. They’re not kidding when they say the freaks come out at night. We actually left the club at 6am! When we came out of the elevator there was a line out the door and wrapped around the building just to get in there. I felt like crap that next day, and now when I think about how much I miss the club scene I try my hardest to think about how I felt that horrible day!

The weekend was so hectic that we didn’t get to experience any of the fun things that Vegas has to offer. You know, all the things that don’t include alcohol and slots. My mom spent the majority of her time down in the casinos playing black jack, counting cards like she was supposed to be in the movie 21 or something. So, I’m thinking that I just might have to make a family trip out of Vegas this time. Trusted Tours & Attractions has a ton of sightseeing tours on their website.
