VEGAS!!!

Well, well, well….now that we are back from our Vegas trip and back to reality I can share what we did and some pictures to go along with the stories. Joe and I went to Vegas with 5 other friends and stayed at The Planet Hollywood Resort Monday through Thursday, four FULL days. We had a blast!!

We decided to go high class this trip so we all went in and got a limo to the airport at 5 am on Monday morning. It was early but nice to get to Vegas at 10:30 am. We checked into our hotel and went straight to the pool. It was nice because it wasn’t very crowded due to it being during the week. That night we got a VIP table at Prive in Planet Hollywood. It was very expensive but way worth it. I would go again. And having your own table is very nice since us girls were wearing very trendy painful high heels. ;)

Tuesday we slept in since we were up until 5 am at the club. Then Tanya and I went to a spa in the Mandalay Bay hotel called The Bathhouse. It was AMAZING, so beautiful and relaxing. We enjoyed the jacuzzi, steam room, pool and sauna before our aromatherapy stone massages. It was wonderful and so nice to be in such a beautiful place. Later that night we went to Zumanity the show at New York, New York. It was good….not as good as Blue Man group but still good.

Wednesday we walked around the strip and went into various hotels. I wanted to go up in the Eiffel Tower in the Paris hotel so Joe and I did that well the others went to the Stratosphere for the crazy rides. It is so pretty up there you can see the Bellagio fountain perfectly and we loved it. I drank a spendy glass of French champagne and it was so good, what an experience! Maybe someday we can go to the real Eiffel Tower and drink French champagne…that’s okay I can live with the next best thing until then. Later that night we went to another club ROK at New York, New York. It was also fun but very loud. Like really loud. Everyone left except Joe and I and we danced the night away.

By Thursday we were exhausted. I requested late checkout and we got it. Thank goodness sleeping in is good. Our flight wasn’t until 7:30 that night so we had some time to kill. We walked around a bit and then just decided to go to the airport since we were so tired.

It was a very good trip with great friends I would do it again but I think we will wait a few years. ;) Hope you enjoyed our pictures!

Love,
Jessica and Joe

Progress...on the basement.

We finished painting the basement this week. The colors we used are fun so I am going to list them for you. In the little bedroom, hallway and ceilings we used Mirage White. In the bigger bedroom we used Gobi Desert. And in the rec room area we used a two tone idea with Brown Teepee on the top half and Traditional (a dark brown) on the bottom.

Next we need to finish the drywall in the bathroom and laundry room. Then paint and finally carpet. We are hoping to be finished by Christmas since we are hosting it this year. Wish us luck!

Below are some various pictures of our progress.
