It's Friday. Just woke up after our third night sleeping on a mattress on the floor in our new apartment. But let's backtrack a bit.
The drive from Moab to Vegas was gorgeous. Instead of the red rock we saw in Utah, now the mountains looked more like giant sand-castles. Minus the castle. Ok, so they looked like giant sand mountains.
We made it to Vegas an hour earlier than expected (thanks to it being in the Pacific time zone). While the boys relaxed in our room, viewing the strip from our balcony and watching the start of game 1, I got a manicure at the Bellagio salon. Essie nailpolish color: Fiji. To all my Ladies, highly recommended color.
Our night began around midnight. We walked a huge portion of the strip (even with Joey's randomly sprained ankle that he got while asleep at The Gonzo...?? We still can't figure it out) stopping in Caeser's Palace, Harrah's, The Venetian/The Palazzo to gamble and enjoy the over-the-top decor. Joey and I played War and Michael found a new version of Blackjack that he couldn't quit playing - Blackjack Switch. Wish we had a better ending to the story, but we all lost all our betting money. By the time we made it back to the Cosmopolitan the sun was coming up. Joey and I had had it. With his sprained ankle and my high heels we were maxed out, but Mike wasn't. He found a Blackjack Switch table in our hotel and kept on playing.
And if you couldnt guess, we were definitely not up and out early the next day. Shoutout to the hotel for having sub-par service getting us an iron that properly worked the night before because we probably would not have ordered room service and would have missed out on the best room service breakfast any of us had ever had. (Yes, I pulled a "Debbie Levine", something I am beginning to perfect, and got us $$ towards breakfast... waiting an hour plus for an iron paid off in my eyes). Grammy, I guess you aren't the only one with your own adjective.
I took the wheel for our final drive. SKY, my Civic Hybrid for those of you that don't know, was on path to hit 100K and I wanted to be driving her when it happened. Yes, I personalize everything. You'd think I would have grown out of it along time ago... Anyways, Sky hit 100K on 241S in California! About 70 miles away from San Diego. You can see just how excited I was about it in the video. I will post all pics and videos today, too.
And that about wraps it up. We made it to San Diego around 8pm. Grabbed dinner (fish tacos) with some friends and made it back to our new apartment! Can't lie...I freaked out a bit when we came home. It finally hit me that I'm home. I live in San Diego now. I still don't fully believe it. Maybe once we get all out stuff and we aren't sleeping on a mattress on the floor. Til then we have a beautiful bouquet of exotic tropical flowers from Maui that Uncle Allan sent. And yes Uncle Allan, they are filling our home with love. Love you all. Thanks for sharing this amazing experience with us. Now book your tickets and come visit!!
P.S. I've got a bunch of requests to keep up the blog. Is that what you guys want? If so, I'll keep sharing. Just don't want to bore you. Love you!
