viva las vegas.

the day after my 21st birthday and college graduation i traveled to las vegas, nevada with two of my best friends. i definitely remember discussing this very trip back when we were all in high school. so fun that our long-term "plans" became a reality!

vegas was a complete blast. sunshine & poolside relaxation, late-night girl talk, shopping, fun dinners, dancing & drinks. it was so nice to get away from school. and put off the job search for at least a week. :) this vacation was the absolutely perfect way to celebrate the start of the summer. at the end of the week we all had a difficult time leaving the 105 degree, blue sky desert to return to not-so-sunny oregon. {however, there has been talk of going back to vegas next year. or sooner!}

favorite memories from the trip:

{on the plane. slightly terrified, as i really hate flying.}

{first night in sin city.}

{the beautiful bellagio fountains.}

{at the pool with arsenal fc player samir nasri.}

{caesars palace.}

{surrender nightclub, after running into a friend from high school.}

{yummy birthday dinner, dessert, & cocktails at tao.}
