Labor Day at Beaver Lake

One word, amazing.  My Labor Day weekend could not have been any better!  Meeting new people has become easier for me as I have gotten older and stepped out of my comfort zone, yes I used to be shy.  I was asked to join a group of people, which whom I only knew one of them, for the Labor Day Holiday at Beaver Lake.  One house, 14 people, 2 bathrooms, and 3 bedrooms...my first thought...how on earth will we all get ready in the morning? Yes, you are laughing now because it's the lake and probably thinking why in the world do you get ready...trust me, hair and mascara are still a must! 

 

I decided to accept the invitation and after talking another classmate into riding down with me, I am SO glad I did!!  We walked in to a houseful of people; clothes, bedding, and food everywhere....and did I mention an endless supply of coolers full of, um, ice :) Everyone was so accepting and we plopped down at the kitchen table and starting playing games!  Bingo!  And no, we weren't playing bingo! What happens at the lake stays at the lake!

 

Now to the lake part...GORGEOUS! I mean, beautiful, clear, clean and amazing views!  Two boats, 14 people, a paddle board, lake mat, and laughter all day long!  The weather was perfect, the company was even better and I witnessed a sunset that was to die for!  We were on the water all day and star-gazed at night. The perfect ending to the holiday weekend...besides walking away with some awesome new friends! 

 



 

Here is to new friends and good times! Lake Life!

Vegas #duh #birthday #kcgirlsDOvegas

Vegas...that's all you have to say to know that when traveling there you are going to have a good time.  And that good ole' saying "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas"...well, it's probably a good idea!  However, my recent stay did involve some very interesting happenings...a few that I never would have imagined so it's worth the chat! 

I joined a birthday girls trip for my good friend Ash...I like to call her Sid, and we had a blast! Seven girls, 3 nights, 2 hotel suites, and a bunch of laughs and memories that will definitely never be forgotten.  We stayed at MGM Signature Suites, I have never stayed at MGM mainly because I do like to be more centrally located on the strip, but I must say, I will return.  The rooms were perfect, the pools were even better, and everyone there was very courteous...even on those late nights when you lose your key and your party and have to remember where you are staying...oops!  Hey, it happens! 

The tower suites are separate from the main MGM hotel, but they are connected which is nice because you have access to all amenities...most importantly the main pool, one word, CABANA! All day, every day...I need one in my life!  1 Oak and Club XS...I am normally not a Vegas club kind of girl, but the dancing was fun, I would definitely recommend XS for sure.  Carnival Court is a must and if you know me, you know I go there every time I go to Vegas. 

 

Tower Suite pool, Day #2, relaxing for sure!!
