Here we are at the Mirage in Las Vegas. We had a girls getaway weekend. We hadn't had one of those in almost (in November) it would've been 10 years! We planned this after the holidays. My sister who is on the right needed to get away after it would've been Sara's 13th birthday. Very emotional day for everyone in the family. Mom is in the middle and I am on the left. We are all wearing our "Born Lucky" Four leaf clover shirts (I forgot to tuck in my shirt!! on the last potty break) oh well we only had 2 pictures of all 3 of us in the whole trip. Would you believe by the same girls!?!? These nice young ladies first took our picture in the Ventitian, then we happened to run into them again when we wanted a picture at the Mirage.. strange huh..especially in Vegas when it was St. Patrick's Day and spring break. Crazy time to be there. We had fun, laughed and cried together and took home great memories and hundreds of pictures. While we were there we saw Bette Midler's show (fabulous) and went to Margaritaville for dinner then followed up that with the band "Whiskey Galore" who were playing Celtic Music outside of Fitzgerald's hotel and casino on Fremont St. We saw almost more kilts and met more people from Scotland than if we were in Scotland! (My dad is from Greenock Scotland)I did get some knitting done on the trip on the plane...4 hours of uninterrupted knitting was great. I was testing a pattern for the yahoo socknitting group I belong to but screwed it up the night before we left so I took another pattern from that group they are Lilac socks and I'm using the purple sock yarn I dyed at Pennies! I thought it was a perfect pattern for that yarn! I will post a photo soon of those.
It's always nice to get away but it also is great to get back home. Makes me appreciate everything my husband does for me! (came home to a spotless house!) NO I don't rent him out :)
