Girls Weekend with Adele

6/1/2024

 
​Since Emma graduated this year we decided it would be fun to do a girl’s trip with all the girls before she headed off to college. Mike surprised us with a fun weekend in Las Vegas to see Adele in concert. The girls were beyond excited and all we did for the few weeks before was listen to Adele on the turntable. We stayed at the Four Seasons hotel which was not only a really nice hotel but also a hotel without a casino. We flew in on Friday in the early afternoon and after getting all checked into our hotel we got ready in our little black dresses and headed on over to the Ceasar Hotel and ate dinner at Amalfi. The food was incredible, and everyone was full and happy before we walked right over to the concert that was also at the Ceasar. We were smart and took photos in front before dinner before the crowds of people were there. We right in and found our seats and took a few more photos before the concert started. Even though I had already seen this concert with Mike the November before, it was still incredible and fun. The girls were in heaven, and it was fun watching them singing along. The set was amazing, and Adele’s entertainment factor was top notch. Again, I was so impressed with how well she connected with the audience and how funny she is in person. This concert was something the girls and I will never forget. After the concert we were planning on taking an Uber back to the hotel, but Uber was so backed up, so we ended up paying for a limo ride in a swanky black SUV. It was not a bad way to end our night. The next morning, we had breakfast outside and then spent the rest of the morning at the pool. They kept bringing us small little treats poolside which was fun. After eating lunch, we headed back inside to shower and get ready to catch our evening flight back home. Our first girls’ trip was so much fun, and it will be hard to top this one!

Vegas Weekend Day 2 . Shopping & U2 Concert

11/4/2023

 
Today we slept in, ate breakfast at a French restaurant, and then went shopping at the Stranger Things store and the shops inside the Venetian. There is something so fun and exciting about the indoor shopping area at the Venetian. We found a quaint little Italian restaurant and ate lunch there. After feeling pretty tired from so much walking we headed back to the Bellagio and spent some time lounging around the pool and eating gelato. As day turned to night we got dressed up and walked with the other crowds of people toward the Sphere to see the U2 concert. This is the band I grew up listening to and has been one of my favorites for a long time. I never thought I would be able to see them in person. The venue at the new Sphere in Las Vegas was unreal. The music was nostalgic, the visuals out of this world, and for as old as they are now, they still sounded pretty dang good! The opening was spectacular, but my favorite part of the entire concert was actually the last couple of songs. They sang their classic songs, "Where the Streets Have No Name," "With or Without You," and "Beautiful Day." It was the best closing to any concert I have been to.

Vegas Weekend Day 1 . Shopping, Dinner & Adele Concert

11/3/2023

 
Mike took me on a weekend getaway to Vegas with surprises around every corner. The only thing I knew coming into this weekend was that we would be going to the U2 concert on Saturday at the Sphere. What I didn’t realize was that Mike arranged for much more than that. With a surprise visit from my parents for dinner at the Lago and then a surprise show to see Adele, Mike really outdid himself this time. We spent the day shopping and eating an amazing brunch before getting ready for a fun evening. When we walked into the Lago I turned the corner and saw my parents and was so surprised. I loved spending time with my parents, celebrating my mom's 75th birthday, and watching the water show at the Bellagio from the restaurant. Afterwards, we said goodbye to my parents and headed to the Adele concert. I had no idea we were seeing Adele until we got there. I thought we were seeing a completely different show. This was hands down the BEST concert I have ever seen and the best surprise ever! Adele is amazing, beautiful, kind, a complete entertainer and so incredibly funny and personable. This was an experience I will never forget.
