{Today's Memory Monday post comes to you by special request from Jeffrey Edward Moss.} ;-)
Just slightly over three years ago, three of my favorite people and I went to Las Vegas to see OneRepublic in concert and to celebrate Malori's 27th birthday! Lots of fun memories from this trip. :) This pic = the four of us by the "Lake of Frogs and Dreams" outside the 'intoxicating' Wynn Hotel!
We stayed at the Bellagio hotel, which was fantastic! I always love the water show, and hopefully everyone else did too, because I insisted that we wait and watch it a few times! :) Jeff brought his lucky "Vegas shoes," but sadly, they didn't come through for him when he played roulette.
Our first stop after the guys joined us was Serendipity. Malori bet Chet that he couldn't eat the whole Forbidden Broadway Ice Cream Sundae. He was excited about it and super-confident that he could... but then he "hit a wall," and Malori and Jeff celebrated their victory. lol
We didn't really gamble much - we played a few slot machines, and Malori got really stressed out watching JEM play roulette. lol And I threw in the picture of them making a wish and tossing their coins in the fountain just because Malori's "Why is Jeff mad at his coin?" comment cracked me up. :)
The next morning, we had a wonderful breakfast at the Bellagio Pool Cafe. I just loved the atmosphere there. Malori bought her CHK fan to stay cool. :) And a friendly little bird decided to join us and freak me out. lol
We toured the Venetian and Palazzo hotels. I love the Venetian and wanted to ride the gondola... no one wanted to join me, but Jeff did sing me a ballad as a consolation prize. lol Then we took our awesome ridiculously patriotic picture at the Palazzo hotel.
Later that night, we headed to the Mandalay Bay Beach for the OneRepublic concert! It was epic. So much better than an indoor concert would've been. Again, the atmosphere was perfect -- at least it felt perfect to me because I was surrounded by great people who make me laugh and listening to awesome music in my favorite city on a beach with good weather. That was the night Jeff decided to label us the "VCGO" -- the Vacation Club of Greater Oklahoma -- and we talked about all the places we would go in the future. lol Pretty sure we've never all been on another vacation together, but maybe that just makes this one more special. :)
