Catching Up: Vegas Trip

I have not been good at keeping up the blog posts this last month. I'm sorry to our parents especially, as I know you look forward to seeing pictures and hearing stories about all that we do out here in California.  So I am spending some time today to catch up on the last month's activities, in several blog posts with pictures.  Enjoy reading, and maybe as you see all the sunshine it will make you want to come visit us!

At the beginning of February I got the wonderful opportunity to join my good friends Lauren and Jacob in Las Vegas with some of their friends and families to celebrate their upcoming March wedding.  They had a combined bachelor/bachelorette party in Las Vegas, and invited me to join them in the weekend celebration.  It was so much fun to catch up with Lauren and Jacob, and my good friend Sarah Butler, who flew in from New York City for the occasion. It was also great to meet Lauren's other friends and family.  One night we were sitting at dinner and I looked around the table and thought that I would have a great time sitting next to anyone there, they were all such fun people. Which is such a testament to who Lauren is. She is a fun, energetic, encouraging person, who has such wonderful friends and family.
During the weekend, we got to see a show at the Treasure Island Hotel (which is also where we stayed) called Mystere. The show was a cirque du solei performance, and it was awesome!  It was the second show in Vegas I have seen, and I loved it.  The Cirque shows are so amazing, I recommend to everyone to see one someday.  We also rode in a limo around the Strip one night, explored a lot of the hotels and malls, and ate at a couple fun restaurants. As many of you know, I was born in Las Vegas, but I have never stayed in a hotel on The Strip, and hung out for a while as a tourist. So that was fun to experience that part of it, even though it was the people I was there with that made the trip exciting. It was such a great weekend to hang out with friends, and celebrate Lauren and Jacob, who will be married this month!  Congrats you two. Thanks for the fun weekend!
