McCabe-Marcum Vegas Trip 2012


Uploaded from the Photobucket iPhone App

What is it about Vegas that keeps you always wanting to go back?  The last time we went we had a blast with Aaron and Viv Burrup, but when we left Mike said to me, "you know, I am glad I saw Vegas but if I never go back I don't really care." 
Then I said to him, "the thing about Vegas is that you are really sick of it by the end of your trip, but give it a year or so and you will be itching to go back."
And sure enough....we did just that.

Since we were little girls Steph and I would talk about how fun it would be to go on vacations with our future husbands together. It was so fun to finally take that trip we have always talked about. We needed a quick, inexpensive trip that we could all go on and leave the babies at home, so Vegas was the perfect place.

We stayed at the Tahiti Village, which I would highly recommend because it is just south of the strip, doesn't have a casino, doesn't smell like smoke and drunk people, has really nice rooms, a beautiful pool, and a lazy river. They should pay me for saying all that!  Anyway, we were very impressed with the whole operation. I should have taken more pictures of it.  Oh well. 

Speaking of pictures I brought my Nikon and had every intention of using it, but instead used my handy iphone to document the trip. I just didn't feel like lugging around a huge,  heavy camera all day and night. So the picture quality it definitely not the greatest.

The guys were FLOCKING to this Nike exhibit.  What's the big deal anyway? Just a bunch of manikins with jerseys on.  Guess you have to be a football fan to appreciate it.

THIS on the other hand is something I had to get a picture of. A three story H&M?!?

The lazy river.  I could have floated in that river allllllll day, but let's be honest I got tired of dodging the waterfalls. Now that is lazy.

Brandon found this shirt at H&M made out of body suit material.  It was hilarious and Mike and I made him try it on.

The Cosmopolitan Hotel.  So cool inside.

Inside the Cosmopolitan Hotel is this pizza place that doesn't have name.  It's on the second floor of the hotel. You walk down the hallway and its this New York pizza cafe.  Soooooo good.  Jack and Melissa Sanofsky showed us where it was and bought us all pizza.  You're the best friends that anyone could have. ;-)
