The view from the house we were staying at was awesome! These pictures don't really do it justice, but it was so wonderful to open up all the blinds and doors and have the sunshine and fresh air all weekend long. Ahh... someday I'll live in a place like that! (Right after I find the cure for cancer, release a platinum album and find the winning lottery ticket on the side of the road)
Friday was spent laying around watching TLC and learning "What Not To Wear", wrestling with the satilite system, rescuing frogs from swimming pools, painting nails, and cooking the most kick-butt bar-b-que dinner EVER! Seriously, check it out! We made steak with grilled veggies and pineapple, and I must say felt very domestic about it!
Amanda, my roommate from freshman year, also came to visit! I was so excited to see her! And she's as cute as ever! Well, as much of her as you can see behind my big belly...
Saturday was the big Vegas day. I would suggest always bringing a pregnant belly to Veags, you wouldn't believe how many of the nasty old men leave you alone and keep thier "calling cards" to themselves when you're walking around looking matronly! (Matronly... is that the right word? I forget. Blame it on the baby) Anyway, we got down there and picked up our tickets to "Le Reve" and then came up with the brilliant idea to walk down to The Bellagio to eat at thier buffet. Who actually decided walking was a good idea I forget, but by the time we got there we were all staggering and hobbling along from massive blisters. (But everyone else was staggering from the booze so we fit right in) This picture was taken before we started walking and were still optimistic about the idea... (I apologize about the Alphalpha-do. Although I must say I do wear it well! teehee!) (Oh, and check out Eliza, isn't she gorgeous!? If I didn't love her, I'd have to hate her. So if you know any single eligible and relatively disease free hott men in thier mid-twenties let me know and I'll introduce them to the girl of thier dreams! Assuming she hasn't killed me for posting this first...)
The buffet was deliciouso!! And I am ever so proud of myself, I didn't eat so much that I thought I'd die! They had the biggest selection of different kinds of food I've ever seen, including about 25 different kinds of dessert. Can we say heaven??
After dinner we walked back to The Wynn to see "Le Reve" and it was AMAZING! (said with a little sing-song in the voice) It is all over a big pool of water with synchronized swimming and acrobatics and incredible displays of strenght and all that jazz. But what was even better (to me) was the music and story itself. So powerful. So colorful. So beautiful. "Le Reve" is an interpretation of a painting by Picasso and the story is all about men and women and love in all it's forms. It's about woman's need for man and vice versa throughout all different time periods and it was phenominal! Just about made me cry! (but that may also have something to do with hormones and missing my other half) I definately recommend it!
These are pictures I took before the show started of the stage area. You really can't get the full effect though, so google "Le Reve" and watch the Youtube video that comes up.
