My brother, sister & I surprised my mom with a quick jaunt to Vegas. We ate lots of great food, walked The Strip, shopped and people watched. It definitely is a uniquely surreal place! The weather was absolutely gorgeous and the company excellent. I even managed to fit in a little bit of pool-side sock knitting:
I was quite surprised by how enjoyable the trip was since my ideal vacation usually involves lazing around the beach, preferably with an endless supply of fresh squeezed lemonade and knitting at the ready. Now it's onwards to finishing up the school year. Just one more week and our summer vacation will officially start. Can't wait for the more relaxed pace of summer. Looking forward to sleeping in, soft ice cream cones at our favorite stand and beach knitting :)
That looks like a very fun trip! I've never been to Vegas but it must be such an unreal place totally incomparable to anything else.
ReplyDeletewhat a splendid quick jaunt! :D jenny xx
ReplyDeleteHow fun to take a surprise jaunt to a city that never sleeps. That Game Over photo made me laugh. We have tomorrow to get through. Will be leaving to get the dames soon.
ReplyDeleteI love that you took your Mom to Vegas. My sister and I have accompanied my Mom and her BFF once. We need to do that again. Those ladies are much bigger gamblers than us, but we hang out with them and then we go see a show or meet up for dinner and walk around the bright lights.
ReplyDeleteSock knitting is magical and good everywhere, non?
Soft serve and lemonade at the beach?!? sign me up!
glad you had a fun time...(vegas is sort of my idea of h*ll !!); i much prefer the beach-y part that makes up your summer!!! Something wonderful to look forward to.....and the ice cream part isn't bad, either!!!
