Vegas, Baby! {Part 3}

It may be hard to believe, but I still have more Vegas photos to share with you.  I'm telling you; it was hard to pry the camera away from my eye the entire time we were there.  Things might have gone a little too far when I found myself watching life through a camera lens more than without it.  But can you blame me?  I am a girl, and am therefore inexplicably and uncontrollably drawn to bright and shiny things.  And as a blogger, I am compelled to capture each and every one of those things on film.

Vegas, Baby! {Part 2}

If you've ever been to Las Vegas, then you know that one blog post full of photos just doesn't cut it.  There are so many exceptionally beautiful, interesting, and strange things to look at, which translates into precisely three posts' worth of pictures.  So here's installment number two.  If you haven't had your fill yet of bright lights, interesting art installments, and other random bits of this captivating town, then you'll be happy to know that round three is only a couple short days away.  And if you're just sick of seeing all of these happy memories of mine, well, then you're not a very nice person, now are you?  And also, hang in there because I'll be back with regularly scheduled outfit posts next week (except they'll be coming from Florida where I'll be visiting my sister for Thanksgiving.  What a turn of events!  I'm so full of surprises!) 

Vegas, Baby! {Part 1}

Last week we went to Las Vegas.  The timing couldn't have been worse; our flight was scheduled to leave the day after Hurricane Sandy hit NJ.  Needless to say, that flight wound up being cancelled, but we were lucky enough to get on a flight the following day.  We wound up losing one day of vacation, but after several days without power, the abundance of electricity and the ability to take a (much needed) hot shower more than made up for the time lost.  We had a blast there going bar hopping, eating to our hearts' content at buffets, pretending to be high rollers while playing $0.25 video poker and getting free drinks (score!), strolling around town, and taking in a show (if you ever have the opportunity to see Cirque du Soleil's Beatles LOVE, do it do it do it!).  But the biggest bonus of the entire trip was the fact that one of my cousins, who lives 400 miles away, just happened to be there at the same time for a friend's bachelorette party.  Getting to meet up with her for a few hours in a posh rooftop bar with views overlooking the whole strip was an unexpected surprise that made my entire month.

Vacation Part 3

For those of you a little rusty on your geography, Savannah, GA is just a short 45 minute drive from Hilton Head Island, SC, where we went for vacation.  So we took a ride over and spent the day in this beautiful, fun, friendly city.  We chatted with lots of friendly people (and even met a fellow New Jerseyan), saw lots of spanish moss hanging on everything, ate fried green tomatoes, visited artists working in their galleries, and strolled around in the sunshine.  It was everyone's favorite part of the vacation by far.  And here's an interesting fact: you're allowed to drink alcohol on the streets of Savannah.  Bars and restaurants all offer drinks to go!  We certainly took advantage of that little bonus and didn't waste more than 5 minutes inside any bar.  The boys especially loved it.  I don't think there was a moment a drink (or two) wasn't in their hands all day long.

No time to watch the whole movie?  Here's the f#@ing short version
