Vegas is Calling

A few years ago Brie'n and I were sitting at work, loathing the day, dreaming of a warmer, sunnier place. Thoughts of warm weather, sun, and fruity drinks coursed through our minds. And then we decided we should go somewhere, just the girls, and get away from it all. That place: VEGAS.

I had been to Vegas before that trip, but going with "the girls" was a whole different experience. Brie'n and I flew out a day before the other two gals we were meeting and were thrilled to be in Sin City. We got there late, explored very little and shopped most the next day. That night we met up with two of Brie'ns friends in front of O'Shea's. It did not take long to know that the four of us would get along famously. We got free drinks (courtesy of Brie'ns "assets"), we strolled the Strip with 40's in our hands, we danced the night away...it was a blast and I will never forget it. On the trip home it was decided: this would need to be an every year thing.

We made good on our promise the following year. We stayed in a better location (MGM Grand is THE BEST!) and enjoyed the lazy river hung over...and still drinking.

By then the buzz had started. Brie'n and I always had such a good time, and came home with such good stories, our co-workers began to ask us, "When are you going next.....and can I come?" And so we planned it. We collected a bigger group, organized the rooms and flights and it was set. Labor Day weekend 2010! There were a lot of us, and it was crazy, and again we couldn't wait to go back.

Then this went and happened:

Two of us original four decided that babies were more important than our annual Vegas trip.... just kidding :) In any case, Vegas missed the "Seattle Girls" in 2011.

Now that it is 2012 I feel like I'm expecting a phone call any day. "Hello Vegas, yeah, we need some more alcohols and we need some more beers."

So let's set the date Brie'n. I need something to count down to :)
