Jet Setting with Perfect Strangers...

I went to Vegas. For 4 days. With 6 of my closest friends. And it was amazing.

I never took big spring break trips growing up like all my sorority sisters did. So this travel-with-a-group-of-girls experience was new to me. And it didn't disappoint. In fact, it rocked my world and I won't soon forget them memories we made. Here are just a few standouts:

Airplane ride watching the sun rise, to playing crosswords and Sudoku with Bri.
Afternoon run with Jaim, Karen and Christi taking pics in front of all the casinos



The pool time. Ohhhh, the pool time. We laughed. We cried. We peed (maybe that was just me).
The hotel: Aria. Didn't disappoint and I'd definitely stay there again.
Photo shoots...these happened. Often. This one reminds me of ANTM...so much fun.
Dancing late night on a boat (of sorts). Learned the Cupid Shuffle. Epic.
The OG PS. Work it out.
Losing lots of money (LBS, it was the penny slots). Leaving with 1 penny on my ticket.
JZF slotting it up
And more pool time. With more pitchers. And snuck-in beverages. And dance parties pool-side.
The Bellagio fountain at night and singing "My heart will go on" through tears. Saps-R-Us.
Ran into several Evlis (Elvi?)...these men were vacationing and all decided to dress up as Elvis to spice up their trip. I don't even want to know what kind of shenanigans they came across in the white body suits. But it was picture-worthy fo sho.
Chandelier Bar at the Cosmopolitan. Beautiful. And the bar was, too.
Dancing the night away at Eye Candy inside Mandalay Bay. I'm not kidding you when I saw we danced for hours. This was by far the most fun I had while out there. When I took my shoes off at the end of the night I thought the bones in my feet were broken. I dance that much. And every ache and pain was worth it.
Casual dinner at the Cosmo...but the best conversation ever. I love these girls so much.
Up to no good...
Did I mention we spent a lot of time at the pool?
BFF. TLA. LYLAS.
Beautiful gardens inside the Bellagio
Soul sistas. Team Intensity. Perfect Strangers. Love.
Go-go dancers and meeting randoms inside Planet Hollywood.
Back at Mandalay Bay for round 2 of dancing before we left the next morning.

We had the greatest time and it was honestly the trip of a lifetime. So many memories were made and our friendships were forged even deeper. Can't wait to relive all of these moments pounding the pavement with these girls, passing the mile markers on the trail and in our lives.

#PSLV12 fo eva.
