A quick getaway...

Here we are!  Las Vegas.  Jolie and I made a last minute decision to hop in the car for a girls weekend.  I was deserving of a break.  All the training from my running did me in a little.  Jolie is also a hard working mommy and agreed we need a litte break!

When we got there Thursday night. We freshened up from the car ride and headout to see if we could win a little money...or drink a cold beer.  

Let the relaxing begin!  We had a great night poeple watching.  Vegas is good for that.  We also had a great time dancing and look who Jolie ran into!  Yes, it is Toby Keith!  He didn't seem to mind a kiss on the cheek and a little groping from all the girls, but we found him to be kinda quiet...so, we moved on to dance amoungst ourselves.

(random girl jumped in my pic)

The next day we slept in and went down to the casino for some coffee and gambling in our PJ's.  This has become one of my traditions in Vegas with the girls.  Jolie was the lucky winner that morning on a penny machine.

Then it was off to the pool for a little sun.

  

I felt guilty for about a minute thinking of my family back home where winter is still making an appearence.

After a little pool time we headed out to stretch our legs walking the strip and gazing at all the interesting folks around us.  We stopped in at the Belagio to see their garden.  Always amazing...

Time to get cleaned up again....

We went out that night for some beer and more dancing with Toby....

The next day we decided to treat ourselves to the spa and a facial....better then any show!  We TRUELY relaxed in our comfy robes, sat in the steam room and pampered ourselves silly.  I don't think either one of us really wanted to leave, but they would have kicked us out eventually and we had one more night to win big!

I guess because we were in Vegas I decided to do something a little crazy...our first stop that night was Club Tattoo.

I picked a design.....

And my new friend, I think his name was Johnny, describe the process.  I was already to go until he gave me the price tag.  I chickened out!  No tattoo.  SO...it was off to dinner.

 Margaritaville.  Our walk down the strip was entertaining, more so then usual, because Jolie and I were both wearing khaki jackets.  Everyone thought we were twins.  People kept stopping us and wanting to take our picture.  I felt like celebrities...kinda funny.

We tried to venture out to a couple of clubs that night.  After walking about and finding lines that wouldn't get us in until the sun came up...we headed back to our favorite spots!

Leave it to Jolie to start causing trouble....

NO!!!!  She is a good kid!  This is our fav secrutiy guard, Kennedy.  He does a great job of keeping us safe from all the creepos!  We like to think of him us our personal body guard.

I always get a kick out of cleaning out my purse after Vegas.

Here you can see the VIP passes we didn't get to use at the clubs and all of my winnings...about $6.50 in change they don't accept anymore because it is all paper money now.

Since it is a girls trip, all we do is talk and giggle.  It is fun to keep track of ramdom quotes from the weekend.  Here are just a few:

Jolie,  "Is it the crows that are making you sweat?"

Lisa,  "You never know when you might need a whisk!"

Lisa,  "It makes me feel like I am at a party."

Waiter,  "Are you a star HOT or a starwood?"

Thanks for the fun weekend and all the laughs my friend!
