Retail Therapy


I just got back from Las Vegas with my mom. After 30 years I finally talked her into taking a vacation with me. There's nothing like a little retail therapy to cheer a girl up.

We stayed at the Mirage which is our most favorite hotel, and we had a great view of the pool and the strip from our room


It was nice to hang out with my mom for 6 days. 6 days in Vegas to some is a lot but it went by really fast. We like to shop, eat, shop, sleep in, shop,take in the sights, oh and did I say Shop!! If not for Mat and Riley I could have easily stayed another 6 days......money might have become a problem as well come to think of it.


No one shops like my mom shops and much to Mats dismay I whole heartedly inherited that trait. Here is how our days went:

Get up, lay in bed for a while and eat croissants from the bakery downstairs or head to our favorite breakfast place The Peppermill, shop the afternoon away, go eat somewhere fabulous, go back to the room and gown up for the evening, lay in bed and watch TV or a movie, eat our dessert, go to bed around 11 or 12 and then get up and do it all again. It was nothing short of perfect. Not to mention that the weather was gorgeous.
I found lots of treasures while shopping, and I could have brought home a lot more if my money supply would have been endless. We ate at some great restaurants, The Grand Lux, China Grill, BLT Burger just to name a few
I just want to tell my mom thanks. It really was nice to spend some time just the two of us. You are a wonderful mom and I know I turned out as good as I did thanks to you (and a lot of other people) Until next time...Love you up to the moon and back ever.........
