weekend getaway for mommy, well really a staycation for me, which is one of the nice things about living in Vegas, you can stay the weekend on the strip and feel like you are totally somewhere else...
celebrating Christina's 35th birthday, one hot mama of three and a Zumba teacher...always so much fun, but sad that means the rest of us will be turning 35 soon :(
Christina, Jo and Patra got an early start, me, Ruby and Loan got a later start and didn't get out til they landed midnight Friday, but worked out perfectly, got to have family Friday night and snuck out after bedtime :) was so proud of myself for staying up so late!
r
must of been the yummy upside down birthday cake drink from Holsteins that gave me a pick me up...they play better music at Holsteins than at marquee, well unless you are in the boom box room :)
bloody marys for breakfast, they really do wake me up a little...followed by lunch at Holsteins, the girls favorite burger place, mine too, they are so yummy...we each order a different one and cut into four so we can have some of each since there are so many good ones...
my first time time to try the billionaire burger, kobe beef and fois gras...loved it, will be getting that again!
my go to, the nom nom burger with a thousand islandish dressing and potato chips inside
rising sun burger with teryaki glaze, spicy mayo and tempura avacado...definitely recommend this place to everyone that asks where they can get a good burger in Vegas!
spa time at the Wynn...was so pretty in there, like heaven
relaxing before our treatments
then make up time at nordstrom...always nice to treat ourselves to some girly time, we deserve it :)
dinner at Scarpetta...they have really yummy bread and desserts, main dishes are just okay...there is a really pretty view of the Bellagio Water Show from there
donuts, nutella and vanilla creme bomboloni and toasted almond gelato was the best!
top 3 drinks of the restaurant, I have this new thing I caught from my co-worker Kristin, which is to ask the waiter what the best items are or what their favorite items are. Worked well for the drinks and dessert for sure, the top right was mine, some gingery thing, very yummy, should have trusted my gut for dinner, went with the Branzino, was pretty but not amazing, should have went with the cod or lobster
birthday girl wanted a photo with the big shoe!
well actually ended the night with Secret Pizza found in the secret alley-way at the Cosmo, a little spicy, so yummy, have been craving it since!
