4th of July VEGAS Style!!

So for the first time in 10 years!!! I was able to travel somewhere for the 4th of July because I didn't have to WORK (I know crazy...but I love my job)...and boy can I tell you it was worth the wait!

Our wonderful friends Ricki & Geoff invited us to go to Vegas with Ricki's parents and friends. All I can say before you see pictures is that this type of Vegas trip is something neither Adam or I had every experienced and will go down in the history books as the best Vegas trip ever!! 

The weekend started off by flying in a private jet that the Palazzo provided for us.
Yes that would be our private plane and plush leather seats...the plane was insane...furnished with couches and sitting areas, lobster, cheeses, drinks, etc.
Not a bad way to start a Vegas trip...uh? 
I'm telling you the weekend just kept getting crazier...
when we had a line of private limo's waiting for us off the plane
  
We stayed at the Palazzo on the 48th floored...in the executive suite that had 4 master bedrooms, a gym, massage room, movie room, kitchen, and so much more. It made me want to start over on my decorating the moment I got home...it was HEAVEN!!!


 
 So once we took in all the suite had to offer. Our weekend was off ...we went from VIP section seats at the UFC fight, to private pool cabanas all weekend, to the best dinners and clubs vegas had to offer, and the best view of fireworks I (we) had ever seen from our balcony suite overlooking (or down looking as I would call it to all the fireworks on the strip and valley)

So I have to say I'm not into UFC fights but being their in person was really fun!!  I think it was partly to do with where our seats were. We were surrounded by famous people everywhere. Sad to say but I did become that crazy girl taking pictures with anyone and everyone that came in counter with our camera.  (I do blame Adam with the camera and our group for pointing them out..lol) 
Yes..that would be my favorite gay guy from Modern Family and to the right Gene Simmons
Yes...David Allen Grier and YES...I'm ashamed but "The Situation" from Jersey Shores! I had too...it was hilarious to see him in person...lol Who wears sunglasses indoors?
 
The group...and too the right sitting down our friends David...lol Okay I will stop...
Girls having fun at Lavo one night...

I have to say the best part of the whole weekend though was the amazing new friends we made!
Everyone was so wonderful and fun!! Can't wait for another get together.

Cali Reception

 Hurray for Parties!!! This past weekend Adam parents hosted a backyard wedding celebration at their house for us. It was so much fun!!! We had everything from a taco man / hot dog cart to a Sweet's table that I have to say was soooo much fun putting together. (I think it just might become my new little hobby...lol  Anyone interested?) Anyways I wanted to share a few pictures from the night. p.s. Our friend Kevin Rogers took all the photos you are about to see. He did such an amazing job capturing the whole event!!

Taco's Del8 provided the best taco's ever...they even had quesadilla's. My favorite!!
I do have to say Adam's favorite and the biggest hit of night was the hot hog cart guy!!
Defintiely not the healthiest hot dogs in the world but O so good....they are wrapped in bacon!!
My Pride and Joy of the Night! 
The party really got started when we had the best lounge singer / classic rock guy "Roadhouse Ron" play live. 
Thanks for the find Mom. :) 

 Our friends Kevin & Linz + baby!! Thanks again for being in our wedding!!

 I have to say that the best part of the night was when our friend Chris (Adam's Best Man) surprised us with a wedding video he put together from our trip!! It was the best present anyone could have given us!! It is something we will always cherish! Thanks Chris! (Working on getting a link up to the video - check back in a few days)
