"reunions, birthdays and Vegas..pt.1"

What a busy, crazy week. Started off Friday with my 20th class reunion. Actually had a great time. Didn't have any expectations, so no disappointments. Was good to see everyone. But had my eye on the bigger prize.
Vegas..................
Went with Bff Kam (my gift from her was my trip!!), sister KayDee and her friend Brandi. We flew out on Aug. 16th which is my actual birthday. We were ready to roll. Started off with a bang. Almost got rear-ended at rest area. Kam was car sick and thought KD was gonna get a ticket on the freeway. Thank goodness the cop on our ass pulled over someone else. KD almost had a heart attack. (she was speeding!!!!) Then we stopped in Portland for breakfast and then off to the airport.
KD and Brandi were about 10 rows behind us on the plane. About half-way thru the flight (I was just minding my own business reading my magazine) and the flight attendant gets on the intercom and says "can Missy please turn on her cabin light". I'm like WTF. Kam flicks it on and the attendant says "Missy is celebrating her 21st birthday today, everyone wish her a happy birthday". I was dying............ KD and Brandi were hysterical in the back of the plane. It was pretty funny. So the attendant gave me some vodka. Birthday drink....................Should I mention it was 1:00 in the afternoon?

MGM is an awesome hotel. Pools were great. Rooms great. Beds fabulous and comfy. Went to a show there 1st night. (can't talk about it. lol).
Me and sista KayDee.
Went to Rainforest Cafe for my b-day dinner. Had steak and shrimp and chocolate for dessert. Introduced Brandi to lettuce wraps. One of my favs. She loved them so much they went back the next night and ate there again.

Tuesday after out day of lounging by the pool we went to New York, New York and celebrated Burrito Tues. We don't even miss it when we are on vacation! Had awesome food and chips and salsa. Then went to the Bar at Times Square and enjoyed the dualing piano bar. Some friends had said it was awesome and Kam had been before. Great music, fun times.

Didn't make it to Carnival Court. Too much relaxing going on.

Went to Hooters for Kam to get tshirts for the boys. Had Krispy Kreme donut and frappacinnos. Bought my kids some tshirts (not Hooters, lol). Had a great trip with my peeps! Weather was HOT. Over 100 degrees everyday.
