vegas for the weekend!

chris called me a few months ago while i was in class and i answered it. he asked, "do you and jake want to go to vegas with me and my denton buddies in April? i'll get y'all a nice hotel room and it'll be fun!" and of course i said yes! i checked the dates and it was the weekend before finals and it all worked out really well! he even flew lisette down with his southwest points. she invited Emily and it all made for a really fun weekend!

jake and i drove down thursday night (after being rushed by Lisette and Chris to make it there in time for dinner!) we got there and everyone was eating. i thought the meal was pretty much over BUT IT WAS ONLY THE FIRST COURSE!!! needless to say, we spent waaaay too much money that night!

jake and i being "boring" as Lisette calls us . . . after dinner, around midnight, we were just watching some broken skull ranch show with an old WWE wrestler. it's actually pretty entertaining and the hotel had a giant projector and screen so why not?! 

after we ate dinner at this place called Todd's English. i had the chicken pot pie and it was noooot that great . . . we had an english guy with us named Minesh and he was SO. FUNNY. He, i think, approved of this place. although he's probably tasted better fish and chips in England... (or is it "crisps" that they gave them???) 

this was the first night, in the nicest bathroom ever. seriously, like glass doors with marble over them so nobody can peek. and not paper towels to dry off your hands, literal nice napkin things that actually dry your hands off! 

sorry these pics are all jumbled! haha but on the way home.. JAKE GOT HIS FIRST SPEEDING TICKET!! i woke up from a car nap to him stopping, thinking maybe he got tired or something, and he was like "yeah, I'm getting pulled over." hahahahahahahaha. i died laughing!! the cop was really nice though, so luckily we didn't have to deal with a jerk but soo funny. jake always brags he's never gotten a ticket before :) 

the first morning in Vegas.. with the nicest view ever! we were on the 55th floor and that has its benefits:) i think there was only one room above us. and the bed.. was amaazzing..seriously slept like an angel. hahaha. 

just playing cards after a day at the pool. jake's study break, and teaching lisette and i how to play dumb games. notice that my thumb is red from eating hot cheetos. hahahaha

it was so fun to be with my sister and chris and everyone else for a long weekend! we had so much fun and it was nice to get away for a bit!
