Vegas Baby!

Let's begin with a dorky camera phone picture~it's very fitting for this trip believe me!

We had such a great time on our trip to Vegas. I was a little freaked out the way it started, but everything turned out ok. We left on Friday the 13th. Now, I'm not really superstitious but when we got to the airport our gated changed from D5 to D13. Then we loaded our plane and they told us we had to get back off because they weren't letting any planes land or take off in Las Vegas. Now, tell me you wouldn't be starting to think you were superstitious after all of that. The plane ride was pretty bumpy and Joey (Heidi's hubby) was shaking in his boots the whole time. Bretts goal on this trip was to embarrass/harass my dad. Believe me, we succeeded! It started when my dad fell asleep on the plane and Brett had me put a big Swedish fish in his open mouth and then clicked a picture! That was a good one! Then when we landed and finally found our way to the rental car place, Lisa had thought she saved money by renting a "cargo van" with no windows mind you. She said that online it said that it had 7 seats.....well guess what...it had 2 seats. SWEET! So we got a minivan and that started our adventure. Let me give you some advice NEVER BUY A RENTAL CAR! I now understand why my dad has always said that...it's because of the way HE drives them! We peeled out/squealed the tires in EVERY parking garage, on EVERY turn. We JUMPED the speed bumps and hills, and as soon as someone was close to us we squeal the tires and scare them. Now look at the picture of my dad, picture him in a friekin' mini van, with his big old smile, scaring people. I almost lost bladder control many times!

Here we are before heading out for PHANTOM OF THE OPERA

Dad and daughters. My dad can definately say that his daughters are not high maintenance. We went shopping and didn't buy ONE thing. Really, not one thing. How weird is that? We tried to find a new outfit for Phantom, but didn't see anything that really floated our boats, so we wore what we brought.

We stayed at The Encore. It's a new hotel that is connected to the Wynn. It was BEAUTIFUL! I cannot believe how nice it was.

Picture of the Group after Phantom of the Opera. 3 possibly 4 of us really loved it. One was a no go and one faked that HE liked it ;) I had chill bumps almost the whole time. I had seen it twice before but I understood it alot better because I have seen the movie and that helps. The stage/theatre was unbelievable. When we got back to the hotel that night another surprise was in store....more to come!
