Since Aaron has been traveling a lot this fall, he promised me a girls’ getaway. I cashed it in this weekend with a sorority reunion in Vegas-baby! Ahhhhhhh, Vegas!
This entire idea was a gamble. I love/hate Vegas, we’re trying not to spend a lot of $$ right now, and I haven’t seen most of my sorority sisters in 10+ years. Let’s also face it: 8-girls + 3-nights + booze + 2 bathrooms = a recipe for disaster. However, I ended up having a GREAT time and really enjoyed seeing these women again.
I do believe we spent most of the weekend on either the shuttle bus (we stayed at a timeshare in S. Vegas) or walking and walking and walking the strip. We ate yummy Vegas food, people watched, and celebrated 11-11-11 together! Four of us even did a club crawl through Coyote Ugly and Studio 54 – probably my only opportunities to ever go in there! There was minimal drama, only one tattoo, and even some $$ from the slots.
I frequently long for my 20’s. I’d love to go back and relive my college years again – I loved my sorority and my school and my friends. But maybe my 30’s isn’t such a bad place after all: I can revive long-lost friendships and enjoy the company of united friends without the craziness and drama. I can relish the rare evening out and the opportunity to dance without feeling the need to over-indulge. And at the end of it all, I can always go home to my sweet family.
