21st birthday
wil and i got back from a wild and crazy weekend in vegas. ok, so maybe pretty tame compared to most who go to vegas.
celebrating my 21st (friday), my mom’s 50th (shhh…oct) as well as a slew of other birthdays around the same time, the entire family and then some met in las vegas for a long weekend. we gambled (a lot!), danced, drank (a little), played pool, threw darts, watched a usc game, saw the sites, and basically had a great time with such a big group together, that doesn’t usually see each other all at the same time except for weddings and funerals.
we had some big perks, besides just the birthdays. although losing some money the first night, wil and i both had a pretty lucky night at the black jack table before coming home, actually getting us back to almost even! (i’d say that’s pretty good compared to losing it all). some of the younger generation went to a couple nightclubs, and on the last night at a really awesome club at the newest most expensive hotel on the strip, we saw britney spears and paris hilton! and of course, with my side of the family, usc winning against cal is always a plus.
unfortunately i started the trip off sick so i was fighting the battle against and cold/sore throat all weekend, but otherwise, wil and i really enjoyed ourselves. we spent just enough time to step out of reality and experience the city, but not enough so that there’s more to do on later trips. here’s a photo of us on friday at the house we all stayed in (my first legal night!). also, i wrote a longer post on our site, simpleclosure.org

Happy Birthday Kristen! So glad to hear you had such a great time! We went to Vegas a year ago and really had fun. We were there for a wedding so also with a big group of people like you were. It was a ton of fun (and also probably pretty tame compared to most people’s trips to Vegas!) Happy Happy…
