Girls Weekend in Vegas!

When Ben was in medical school, I made some amazing friends - as med student wives we were able to support each other while our husbands were so busy with classes, studying, rotations, etc.  We arranged a long overdue girls weekend so we could see each other and play!  :)  We met in Vegas and stayed at a hotel there for a couple of nights - we did a lot of eating out, shopping, and pampering ourselves (including some awesome sleeping in)  And we laughed like crazy :)

Taya recommended this Thai restaurant... the curry dish I got was sooooo good!  Heather's soup she ordered came in a flaming pot!


Liora recommeded Max Brenner as a fun eating spot - so we went for brunch the next day - "brunch" ended up being around 1:00 so we were starving!!  Look at some of these menu items!  I felt like I had died and gone to heaven...




These sugared biscuits with butter and chocolate sauce were soooo delicious - I helped out Heather by licking her chocolate bowl - we wouldn't want anything to go to waste...


In the bathroom at Max Brenner, I was so nicely complimented by the mirror!


So, I had chocolate biscuits for an appetizer and chocolate pancakes for my meal... and then we of course needed chocolate pizza for dessert!!


Shopping at the outlets was very entertaining!



After shopping, we got mani/pedi's!  Aubree met up with us after shopping - she had just ran the St. George marathon that morning!!  Then she hopped in her car and drove to Vegas to play with us.  How awesome is she?!


That evening we exchanged our favorite things with each other - Taya gave us some fun beauty products, Heather made us some darling necklaces, and Liora spoiled us with more chocolate!  Haha - these cupcakes were amazing...

The next morning we went out to breakfast before all heading our separate ways - Taya and Liora both live in Vegas, Heather is in Arkansas, and Aubree is in Michigan...


I sure love these girls!  It was really awesome to see them - There were other great friends that weren't able to come this time - but we plan to do this again next year!  It was beyond fun to reminisce with old friends, and spoil ourselves for a day...

  1. It's so nice to have good friends!
    I could go for some of that chocolate!
    Chocolate solves everything (almost).

  2. Mini reunions are the best. Some of my best friends are from dental school. My girlfriends took me on a much needed vacation to San Francisco last year during one of my chemo weeks. Just what the doctor ordered!
