What happens in Vegas…

When Chelsea turned 21 last year she asked if we could take a family trip to Las Vegas. I love Vegas, so I said let’s GO!! What can I say about Vegas that hasn’t already been said. It is crazy, wild, live and always unpredictable. I guess that is why I love it. Of course the world class hotels, entertainment and dining are worth mentioning. We stayed at the Aria Hotel. It was stunning and definitely worth seeing. Every hotel has a different vibe. We walked to as many as our legs could handle. On average my Fitbit registered over 14,000 steps per day. Clarks & Orthaheel helped me through every step.

We left the mild spring weather of PA and went right into summer in Vegas. The high temperatures were 100 – 105!! Hot stuff. We spent most of the day relaxing by the pool and in the evening’s dinner and sight seeing. The city is beautiful day and night. We had every intention of going to a nightclub Saturday, but after a long day of fun in the sun we were cooked. Literally. Party animals we are not.

The Blue Man Group show never disappoints. This was my 3^rd time seeing it and I would see it again. Everyone enjoyed the quirky humor and amazing percussionist. If you go be prepared to laugh and look out, you might end up in the show.

Yes, we gambled. Lauren & Chelsea my sister and I hit the slots. They won $100 dollars and headed to the stores. New bathing suits! Thank you Aria!

We had a great time! We did not hit any jackpots on the slot machines but I did hit the jackpot when it comes to great times with my family. And as much as I loved the opportunity to go to Vegas, I was equally excited to get home and get into my own bed! I guess what they say is true, there’s no place like home. I hope your summer vacation is fun and full of great memories for you and yours!
