All Girls Weekend

Our annual (or sometimes semi-annual) AGW was a couple weekends ago. We had a small group, but it was a good group non-the-less. This year we stayed at The Trump. It was a very nice hotel with a nice view and it was right across from the mall, which was convenient. The downside was it only had valet parking, so the tips added up and we had to wait for our car at times and the jacuzzi closed at a much too early 5:00. So no, I wouldn't choose to stay there again.

Anyway, we had a nice time visiting and staying up until 2am every morning just talking and talking and talking some more. We had a group breakfast and dinner,

but much of the time was spent parting and regathering with each other.

Some did a Cirque De Solei show, others shopped and some just stayed behind to hang out. For one dinner we ordered a burrito that was close to 7 lbs, if you can believe that. You'd think it was gross, but actually it wasn't bad. There was plenty for all of us and then some.

On Sunday, Sandi and I did a helicopter ride over the Hoover Dam. It was a lot of fun and the view was amazing!

Linda stayed on with us after everyone left on Sunday. We didn't leave until Monday. It was fun having the day to spend with just her and us. And we had a pretty full day going to Hoover Dam, a little shopping and dinner.

So, here's a funny story. Our hotel room had an amazing bathroom with a huge jacuzzi tub. Since the actual jacuzzi closed so early I decided to take a bubble bath in the gigantic tub never thinking about the bubbles taking on a life of their own with the jets going. My sister and I had gone down to the hotel mini store and bought little 99 cent bottles of shampoo just for the purpose of taking a bubble bath. Here's what happens when you dump an entire mini bottle of shampoo in a jetted tub. It was so funny! I called my family in just so they could laugh with me. Duh, right? So, the next night Sandi and I are wanting to go to the dumb, closed jacuzzi and she gets the idea of just putting our suits on and getting in the enormous tub and visiting in there. She decides she wants the bubbles and proceeds to poor the other bottle in there. So, we had ourselves a bubble infested jacuzzi again. The bubbles were about 8 inches over the top of the tub. It's hard to tell, but they were really high! Well, we gave ourselves a good laugh.

It was a good trip. I always love spending time with my cousins and aunt. It's the only time we get to see each other, so it's pretty special.
