Vegas= Adult Disneyland. I am always concerned when I find a location I adore and want to take people back. Mainly, I worry that the place won’t be as fabulous the second time around. Thankfully, The Chisholm’s, D and I all survived our trip to Vegas, and The beautiful Cosmopolitan was as gorgeous this time, as it…

viva las…
Yes, you guessed it. We’re going to Vegas. AGAIN. But this time is a little different than our traditional pilgrimage. You see, I have this friend. Her name is Lise. Lise and I grew up together in the same neighborhood, same schools, and were proud members of the Briar Flyers swim team. I’m fairly certain we…
sneak peek– sinsgiving.
Just a quick Monday morning recap of our fabulous trip to Las Vegas for Thanksgiving. It was our 3rd annual “Sins-giving” as I’ve dubbed it, and it certainly did not disappoint. Check back tomorrow for more pictures and details! PS- The Cosmopolitan was every bit as good as I expected!
afternoon day dream.
Today I’m day dreaming of: Have you guessed it yet…It’s…. LAS VEGAS. And with less than 2 weeks til the hubs and I venture to Sin City, I’m absolutely giddy. Giddy at the thought of bright lights and larger than life ambiance. Giddy with the realization I can wear sparkles in public without being frowned…
10 on tuesday– vegas edition.
I’m back to posting– just haven’t really felt inspired lately. In honor of our upcoming Vegas trip, I wanted to do a 10 on Tuesday for all the must see things in Vegas. So here we go! As always, in no particular order… 10.) Visit the new City Center. From hotels like Vdara, Aria, Cosmopolitan…
an afternoon quickie.
Just a little afternoon quickie–I found this article while I was researching my Vegas post from Wednesday. USA Today’s Travel Blogger discusses Caesar Entertainment’s plans to build a Ferris Wheel LARGER than the London Eye. Really? I guess there will need to be a 3rd sequel to the Hangover that will include Phil scaling the structure while being chased…
separates vs. packages– and the winner is?
Along time ago I figured out that travel keeps me sane. The excitement of looking forward to our next adventure makes my mundane days do-able. I frequently came home from a fantastic outing only to find myself down and lonely, rather than rejuvenated. It was awful. So for the last few years, D and I have made it…
dublin on my mind.
Every year, D and I try to travel for Thanksgiving. Packing our bags for Turkey Day started a few years back, but has become quite the time for us to travel. Not only because it’s a holiday, but mostly because in the world of working young professionals, you don’t get a ton of vacation time….
vdara: oasis in the desert.
Because you know what a stickler I am for creating reviews, here is a review I did for Trip Advisor on the new Vdara hotel in Las Vegas: Vdara was truly an incredible experience in Vegas. We normally stay at The Bellagio when in Vegas, so I was a little nervous to make the switch to this non-gaming,…
