Sisters in Vegas!

Bryce got back on a Saturday and I literally left town that next Thursday for Vegas (woohoo!!!!).  I hadn't been away from the kids since the previous November when Amy came to Switzerland to visit and we spent the weekend in Paris together.  We really missed our older sister, Emily, so we vowed to try and have an annual sister trip.  This year, all three of us made it to Vegas where Amy currently lives (working for Zappos, not a back up singer for Celine).  It was a little too quick of a trip, but amazing to get away and catch up without little ones tugging on our shirts or fussing as we quickly scarfed down our dinner.

The first day, we got to tour the Zappos office, which is 100% amazing and I don't know how anyone actually works there.

Meeting rooms each have a different theme.  There are video games in the elevators. All the offices were decked out for Halloween when we were there, including a ball pit.  Lots of interesting wall murals all over the entire office.  Not to mention the rooftop cafe with free or super cheap things like lattes, salads, sandwiches, and of course, rooftop mini golf.

We got a nice lunch out, window shopped, got take out (Uber eats is so cool!) and rented a movie.

 The next day, we went to the M resort, spent a few hours at the spa drinking cucumber water and sitting in steam rooms and hot tubs.  We sat at the outdoor pool briefly before it closed and then went back to get ready for dinner.  (getting ready with sisters is so fun...plenty of music, dancing and laughing)

We went to the Stratosphere for dinner and drinks with an amazing view of the entire city.  So, just FYI, if you want to go up there for the view without spending lots of money, go to the cocktail bar instead of the restaurant or the viewing deck.  You get to have a drink or a snack, sit inside, enjoy the same view, in a very chill atmosphere without paying just to go to the viewing deck (with no drink or snack).

We made it home by midnight (thank goodness, I can barely make it eyes-open past 10pm these days).  We all flew out the next day.  But hopefully, this is the first of many sister weekend trips!  We just don't have enough time together.  It's easy to forget how much you enjoy someone until you get a chance to spend some good, uninterrupted time with them.
