My Mom and I posing at the Hoover Dam on our way to Vegas! Nothing like a road trip without kids! I truly missed all the screaming, fighting, and "Are We There Yet" questions:-)
We kicked our girls trip off by attending the Miss America Pageant preliminary at Planet Hollywood! Our Miss Arizona, Erin Nurss looked amazing in both her swimsuit and evening gown! Pictured with Karisa, my Mom and I are our longtime friends, Kristina and Regina Chesleigh! It was so fun to chat with all the Arizona Cinderella Gang. Don't ya love our Miss Arizona signs we held up and waved around like crazy?!
My Mom and I outside Planet Hollywood posing with Miss America! We still were waving those signs around! You'll have to click on this picture to actually see us.
Don't Cha wish you were hot like us?! Ha! After the Pageant we hit the strip and had a little too much fun!
There are so many things to do and see and eat in Vegas! We started day two off at the Le Village buffet at Paris. The cooked to order crepes and omelets were dang good! We then walked the strip and ended up at the World of Coca-Cola! We enjoyed a nice cold bottle of Coke! 
I just love the Coca-Cola mascot! This is one 7- foot loveable Polar Bear! He even gave me a kiss!
My sis and I watching the 3-D movie, I lost My "M" in Vegas at M&M's World! Fun place to visit and shop!

These were the best looking men we could find in Vegas without going to Thunder from Down Under!
Not just another buffet, but an "all you can eat" Sushi buffet! If you are a Sushi lover you have to eat at Sushi on Tropicana! It is in a strip mall a few miles off the strip! You pay $25 for an hour of all you can eat sushi, appetizers, salads and desert! The best thing is that it is all freshly made as you order! We waddled our way out of this place!
Night two of Miss America Pageant Prelims at Planet Hollywood! Miss Arizona, Erin did her talent this night and she rocked the stage! Erin is one amazing dancer and ended up winning a non-finalist talent award!

Mini reunion! I was able to meet up with some of Mark's family that live in Vegas (Henderson)! We ate at the Grand Lux Cafe (Sister restaurant to Cheese Cake Factory) at the Venetian Resort! Pictured with me is Laura (Mark's older sister), Michael (Laura's hubby), Mark's Mom, Sharon (my favorite Mother-in-Law), Mark's little Sister, Lisa and my cute nephew, Ezra!
My sister, Karisa turned 30 while we were in Vegas! And my Mother-in-Law turned 50(?) the next day, so of course we had to celebrate! After dinner at the Grand Lux Cafe we went and saw the Blue Man Group! Thanks to my Brother-in-Law, Michael for getting our tickets free! The show was wild and fun! The music and comedy rock!
Our second show of the night was KA by Cirque du Soleil at the MGM Grand! This was a thrilling show with all the aerial acrobatics! Thanks to my sis-in-law, Lisa for getting us discounted tickets!
No girls trip to Vegas is not complete without a visit to the Ethel M Chocolate Factory!
My favorite part about the tour was the free samples and of course the Chocolate shopping. Buying chocolate is a tough decision!
I came away with one important thought from the Ethel M Chocolate Factory:
I had a great "Girls Getaway Trip" to Las Vegas! My Mom and all three of my sisters want to make an annual tradition of a "Girls only Trip" to somewhere fun! Taking a break from my day to day life was great! It made me want to come home and be a better wife and mother:-) Thanks to my hubby who took three days off work to fill in for me at home. I'm glad he got to see that being a full time Mom is tough work!

Looks like you had a blast! I will have to suggest this to my daughters for our next GNO--maybe when Hilary comes home. You look skinny in all of the pictures!
