Shop til you drop...literally




I went to Vegas on Saturday will all the girls I work with. Every summer we usually play Survivor at the Dr's cabin...we eat bugs, bob for abbles in beans, obstacle courses, and anything hard or disgusting you can think of. This year we voted to skip survivor and use the money towards a shopping trip in Vegas. Dr. let us do it...as long as we do survivor again next year. We left at 9:05 (sharp)in a 15 passenger van and went straight to the outlets. Can't complain with the good deals at the outlet stores. After about 4 hours there, we moved on to the Fashion Show Mall. We had planned on going to dinner after the mall and then doing some more shopping...but we were all about dead. We decided to go to the Cheesecake Factory, which is definitely in my top 3 favorite restaurants. You can never go wrong with the Avocado Egg Rolls, Miso Salmon, and a good slice of cheescake to finish it off. We were all so full we got cheesecake to go and brought it home. We got home just after 1am. It was definitely a day full of shopping...what more can a girl ask for? It's so much more fun to work when you love everyone you work with.
On a sad note...school officially starts tomorrow. :( We had orientation today to get our new instruments and go over schedules and everything. It brought back the anxiety school causes. Only one more year...I can do this!
