Viva Las Vegas - Girl's Only Weekend

Again, playing catch up.  I am almost caught up.  GREAT!  Any who...

Viva Las Vegas 


So one day my really good friend, Whitney, calls me and says "do you want to go see your husband?"  I was like I see Blake every day.  Then she said "no...your other husband."  I was like heck ya, "When?"  She said next weekend.  (This is back at the end of January.)  I said "sure count me in."  For those of you who didn't know I had another husband - you are think oh my gosh what has happened and probably wondering who it is.  Well, he is known by a few names, King George or Georgeous George.  And for those of you who are not country fans (shame on you) it is GEORGE STRAIT.  He is so HOT!  Just a tad bit of info - George doesn't even know he is my husband.  haha

Whitney told me all I needed was money for food, activities during the day (aka - shopping), and to get a ticket.  I had the money, but no ticket.  I had to buy one.  Whitney and Blake both help me look online to see if any were available.  And there were.  YEAH!  Whitney had a place to stay and she said she would drive.  Now, this is very uncharacteristic of me just to up and head out of town.  Because I like every thing to be pre-planned.  Not this spur of the moment kind of stuff.  But it was a nice get away. 

The trip was short.  We headed down after work on a friday and came back on Sunday.  Blake was out of town as well.  So I "twisted" my mom's arm to see if she would watch Kennedy and I had to twist my dad's arm to watch Payzlee.  They both agreed.  Payzlee isn't a bad dog, she just manages to pull the dog bed out of the kennel and tear down the door.  What do you expect when a dog gets bored?  

 We got to Vegas about 10:00 than night, found the hotel, got settled, and off too bed.  We were so excited cause we both could see in and not have to get up to feed our children.  But the funny thing is your body gets in a routine and you have no choice of what time you get up.  Your internal alarm clock gets you up early no matter what.   

We got ready and hit the strip.  It was raining.  Not bad, but if you didn't have an umbrella you wished you would of had one.  Which one of us wished we would have.  haha. Neither of us had one.  So at one of the dorky stores that carries everything we bought an umbrella. 

After we shopped for a bit we headed back to the room and took a nap so we could stay up to watch the concert.  I am not a night owl.  So if you want me to stay up, I need a nap.  The concert was at MGM.  On our may to MGM, we stopped at a few locations. 


Harley Davidson Restaurant


M&M Factory


We made our way through the crowds to MGM.  We headed to our seats.  The other artists that came with George was; LeAnn Woolmack and Reba.  Oh boy was I even more excited to see the show. 

LeAnn Woolmack came out on stage first.  I love her CD's, but I wasn't too impressed with her in concert.  It is like she just walked or stood.  Okay, I know that sounds dumb, because those of you that have seen George he does the same thing.  But he is HOT!!  He can just stand there. 

Next, was Reba.  Man does she put on a GREAT show.  I would see her again in a heart beat.  She was so fun to watch.  I thought I used to not really care for her music, but the older I get I like her lots more.  During her performance Barbara Jean came out from her show Reba.  She was hilarious.  Whitney and I got the biggest kick out of her.  And to finish up her, she did the most awesome performance of her song Fancy.  She did a quick wardrobe change, and came out in  a taxi.  And an old looking one from about the 50's I believe.  It looked like the one from the music video.  Then she got out and she was is this sexy red dress.

After Reba performed, the best part of the show was about to start.  It was GEORGE.  And he looked as good as ever.  He sang various songs through his career.  Personally my favorites are his older stuff, like "Easy Come, Easy Go" or "Fireman" or "Ocean Front Property".  All classics of his.  And he performed some of his more current songs.   

All in all it was a GREAT weekend!  Well deserved for the both of us.  Thanks for asking me to go Whitney.
