Girls Trip 2012

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step….

Or rather 15,467 of which we took yesterday - oh Lord my feet were tired. It seems I'm certainly accomplishing one thing on our Girl's Trip - tiring Chloe out!!  She has went to sleep before me (a rarity at home) for the last 4 nights - and had to be woke up in the morning (not a rarity at home!). We covered but a small piece of the Las Vegas pie but seen some sights!  Went to the Outlet Mall in the middle of the day - which made for some frequent ventures into stores we really had no desire to be in (No Al not those kinds of stores!!  hahah) but just to soak up their air
