Anchors Away...

At the beginning of the February I was lucky enough to go to Vegas with The Girls for Landis's bachelorette party.  The weekends festivities happened to coincide with the Super Bowl so it was perfect timing for a little fun in Sin City!  8 of us gals met up from across the country: Stone, Dawn, and Jax came from Seattle. Megs, Jamie and I came from Spokane. Landis arrived from North Carolina and Carrie came from NYC. We planned our arrivals perfectly and all landed within an hour of each other. to get things started on the right foot we all met up at the airport bar to make sure everyone got in OK (and for some spicy bloody mar's-obvi).



From the airport we headed to our AMAZING suite at The Cosmopolitan! Thanks for the sweet hook up Jbass! 




After settling into our room we decided to take a looksy around our casino and try to get some food. We stopped at the chandelier bar (its literally inside a chandelier) for a celebratory toast first and then we hit the strip for some food and fun.  




After lunch it was back to the suite to open presents and try and get 8 girls ready for our first night out on the town. Not a very easy task with only 3 bathrooms, but nonetheless we succeeded!



Isn't landis the cutest bride to be you ever did see



Once out, we got our obligatory d-list celeb sighting out of the way. For those wondering its Dr. 90210. Never even seen the damn show but let me tell you I was excited at this moment (ps:I was also intoxicated)!


Once over that "excitement" it was time to dance!


Our second day started a bit later than our first. We hit up the buffet at our hotel and let me tell you this is not your old country buffet...not to mention it was a hangovers dream! well a dream for most of us, for Dawn I think it was more of a nightmare :)

After lunch Dawn, Carrie and I ventured to try and find a place to watch the Super Bowl. We had backup reservations at an English Pub off the strip but we really wanted to find someplace close and fun (and not outrageously expensive) to watch the game. As luck would have it we found it in our hotel. Poolside, lots of tv's, a bar nearby, seats for 6 (jamie and jax both left that morning), not over crowded and not super expensive. #winning!




From the game we knew we needed food badly but we still needed to get ready for our last night out. Back to the suite we go! We got ready and then headed to Scarpetta for some DELICIOUS food and wine. We even worked in a game for Landis to play while we ate...lets just say it was informative :)




With dinner done it was time to hit the club for our last night out!  We tore up the floor and had a great time.

Alas all good things must come to an end. The next afternoon (after a few mimosas and margs)


it was time to head back to reality and remind my body what its like to not have alcohol flowing thru its bloodstream 24/7.  Lets just say that took awhile, i had quite a bit to recover from :)


I love these women so much and can not wait for the wedding, in June, when we cal ALL be together again!
ps: WE MISSED YOU FULLER!!!
