So, get ready Kim (another requester!), because here it is: VEGAS baby. Apparently, not everything stays there. And I will continue where Brodi left off, because there are a few numbers she left out.

And then ... The SIX members in attendance drove home and I commenced with Part #2 of my trip: Shoe Convention with Sami. And the numbers continued.

And the rest ... stays in Vegas.
Were the Aussies in question part of Thunder From Down Under?
ReplyDeleteAwesome pic of Catch A Wave! I swear I searched all over Vegas for that game, to no avail.
I wanted to see the picture of the Aussie! Was he wearing the stolen glasses? Did they match his leopard print speedos? Glad you guys had fun!
ReplyDeleteI did not flirt back!
ReplyDeleteHey Emily, Yes ... we did indeed have a Thunder experience. Half price ticket choices were pretty slim. OK, who are we kidding, it was my 30th, Thunder was always in the running at HPT.
ReplyDeleteI didn't find Catch a Wave, I googled for it. BUT ... there was a "Reel Em In" slot at Southpoint you would have LOVED!
Sher-- Um, wearing is not what I would have called it. And it was not leopard, BRIGHT red. He was a fireman afterall. They had a VERY strict no pictures policy, so sadly that is not documented, but burned in my memory? Yes.
Brodi -- Flirting, talking, making dessert plans ... it's all the same to Carmine. ;)
Oh, Bro so flirted back.
ReplyDeleteSher if you really need the gory details, they are, unfortunately, burned into my brain as well. And the song, "It's Raining Men" seems rather appropriate at this point.
ReplyDeleteI have a hard time thinking this was really a "work trip" for you ladies. Unless you girls just know how to have all the fun! :) Sounds like a great trip. Did you come home with lots of new shoes?
