Mother's Day Weekend!

I woke up to breakfast in bed on Mother's Day Sunday.  Julie was up and at 'em, making me heart-shaped eggs in toast and grapes!  

After church, I boogied down to Las Vegas.  My oldest friend, Emily, was in Vegas for a funeral.  She was staying the weekend until Monday and wondered if I could buzz down for a day!  On my way!!

Wahoo! It's been several years since I've seen Emily face to face.  We stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel and went down to the pool first.  We chatted and chatted and chatted.  We went to dinner. We got Indian food.

Then we walked down to the Bellagio and Paris.  

We saw the Las Vegas sign.

We went back to the hotel and chatted, chatted chatted until I was losing my voice and Em was too sleepy (time difference).  The next day, after breakfast, I asked Em if there was anything she wanted to do and she confessed she wanted to go to the wax museum.  I've never been so we went!

I posed with Evel Knievel.

We walked around some more and went to lunch at the Cheesecake Factory.  Then our time was up and I took her to the airport.  I'm amazed at how easily we can talk to each other when we get back together.  I bet it's been over 5 years but it's like we just saw each other.  Emily is coming back out in June for our 20-year high school reunion.  What a perfect little day.
