with my mom!  She called me up last week and said that she had 4 free nights at the hotel she always stays at and wanted to take me there as a celebration of my 1 year from surgery!  woohoo.  She's paying for the plane tickets and all I have to bring is money for food and whatever else I want to buy.  We even said that we would split meals and it would be cheaper.  I am SO excited.  I have been there before with my mom and boy do we walk walk walk, it's always fun and with Crystal and Dee losing their moms recently, I will enjoy the time I have with my mom now. She's not getting any younger and has some health problems as well.
I will be gone from Sunday March 29th through Friday April 3rd.  We are going right inbetween my 2 surgery dates!  LOL   I am heading out to her house a day early since we have to be at the Rockford Airport fairly early Monday morning. 
I just hope the weather will be nice out there by then!!
I just wanted to share my exciting news with my friends!

Do not forget your swimsuit.....

Oh and check out the web, as there is so much more to do than gambling.  There is the Hoover Dam tour, and you can go out to Red Rock to hike.

In all the times we've been there we've never used the pools.  I don't even have a bathing suit right now.  I'll have to see if I can find one that fits okay...lol
As for gambling, we rarely do that, we love to just walk around  the strip and we do a lot of shows and things like that.  I would love to do the Hoover Dam tour...maybe I'll ask her about that

Thats so nice of your mom. It is a great gift. I just love going to Vegas, I like wearing a pediometer to see how many miles I walk in a day. Last Sat I went to Bloomington to shop and by the end of the day I had walked 5 miles! So just imagine the miles you will put under your belt in that time frame!

That is SO exciting!  Good for you and Happy anniversary!

Don't forget to do the "Stripper 101" class!  It is a riot and your mom can do it too!  Talk about "bonding"!!!!

I know you will have a great time no matter WHAT you do!

 

Tell someone that you love them!
