DAY 5 Nov 9th:
So much for sleeping in... We all woke up around eight and started getting ready for the day. Samm and Miles ran some errands while the rest of us bummed around Brandi and Jeromy's apartment. Once they got back we all headed down to the strip. It sure looks different during the day!! We met Jeromy at the Mirage and he showed us around the place before we parted ways to go get food. Then we just walked around and saw some pretty neat stuff. We ended up getting a room at the Flamingo right on the strip so we rushed back home, packed up our stuff and moved on over. Unfortunately we had to use the car top carrier once more but thankfully this really will be the last time!! Once we got all settled, Bacon from the island met us and hung out for a bit before us girls headed to a club. It was neat because we got in for free and were able to pass the line but it is an experience I don't think any of us would care to experience again. It was way too crowded and just reminded us of being back at Horns trying to push our way through the crowd. Shortly after arriving we headed back to the hotel to meet back up with the guys and Katie... Time for bed!!

Miles' birthday!!!!! We hung out in the room for a few before Greg and Jen went to find food while the rest of us went down to check out some flamingos. I met back up with Greg and it was off to find a bank that would cash his cashiers check. Boy did that prove to be more difficult than expected! But we got it done and grabbed Samm and the birthday boy then headed to see Skyfall-the best Bond yet in my opinion. Finally back to the hotel where we got ready for dinner. Jeromy, Brandi, Eric and Miles' friend Zack met us and nine of us went to a fancy dinner in the Flamingo. It was a very delicious dinner and a nice way to spend our last night in Vegas! Then we went from nine to three as Zack, Miles and myself went to an outside bar for his birthday. Definitely a fun first experience in Vegas!!
DAY 7 Nov 11th:
Today was a sad day as we hugged Miles and Greg bye... I thought it would be nice having the entire back seat open but I would rather be crammed and uncomfortable if that meant still having them along. Who is going to finish all of our crossword puzzles now!?? Unfortunately the shuttle to go to the airport was late which meant instead of Miles flying out at noon, he didn't leave Vegas until almost one in the morning!! Poor guy... (But thank you to you two for making the first half of our trip that much better. I know I speak for all of us when I say we wish you were finishing it with us. Better see you both soon!! xoxo)
I stayed out late last night so Samm drove the five hours to Venice Beach. We stopped for Subway about an hour into the trip and I almost died choking after seeing a silly looking trolley and laughing while chewing!! Wish i would have been able to get a picture of it but obviously had more important things to focus on... Unfortunately we arrived at Venice Beach just after sunrise so we didn't get to see it during daylight but there were definitely still interesting people out. I think our favorite was this woman who ran her car into a parking lot gate arm!! We aren't sure if she didn't see it or thought it would move up but this thing was clearly in the opposite direction of the exit and had to have crushed her car some as it noisily rolled onto her roof. After all that excitement we went onto Santa Monica Pier and walked around for a few before heading back to LA to meet Samm and Katie's friend Ely and her boyfriend Spencer. The five of us went to their favorite Mexican restaurant for dinner after getting settled into their neighbors apartment which we will call home for the next two nights. After Katie and I spent ten minutes picking out movies, the three of us passed out by 1030 before even putting one in!!
