I live in Nashville, but originally from NC. I love books, movies, shopping and dogs, to name a few. You'll find I'm not the best at keeping up with my blog, but I have good intentions! I like to share pictures and stories with anyone who feels like reading this.

Vegas, Baby, Vegas!




Ok, so I've been MIA for a week or so......went to Detroit with Eric. Tons of fun! No pics from that as of yet, so I will continue with another trip from the past couple of months. Eric had to go to Vegas for work in May over my birthday week, so I got to go with him as my present. It was so much fun!!! We went to pretty much every casino, just to check out what they looked like, etc. I didn't do a bit of gambling, but Eric lost a little money (which is what always happens when either of us gamble). I'm putting a picture of the strip, taken by yours truly, a picture of the Paris casino at night (I loved that one!) and of me taken in front of the Mirage, which we actually didn't go into. I really liked the Luxor (the Egyptian themed one) and Circus Circus, which was very juvenile, but fun! The Bellagio was by far the nicest and I loved the fountains out front! I'd recommend going to anyone at least once, just to see it, but I'm by no means a fan of going all the time or of the sketchy shows they seem to have there. I just really liked the themes and the feel of the place. Somewhere to see once in your lifetime. We also flew over the Grand Canyon and maybe next time I'll actually go there and maybe the Hoover Dam, too. In early May, it was low 90's and no humidity, so it wasn't too bad yet. You wouldn't want to go now!

Whoa, Vegas! That would be an interesting place to see sometime. I think I would just like to see it and leave though. I'm not much for hanging around in big cities.

Hi Amanda,
