It’s Monday again (mixed feelings lol). Last week was consumed with hosting an annual conference which is all hands on deck for the department I work in. Hence the lack of a Friday post. Some weeks I do good on time management and well, others I’m not so good at. I thought I would write a quick weekend recap for you.
The hubs and I saw Alan Jackson at Rodeo Houston on Saturday. The day was rainy, but seeing Alan Jackson perform is well worth the rain. Before the show we wandered around the exhibit hall and shared some candied pecans (hello sugar!) and an umbrella while we waited to get into the stadium. In the past we have seen performances from the action seats and regular seats, but this year the hubs learned about the Chairman’s Club so we decided to check it out. It is on the 7th floor of the stadium and ticket prices include a full meal and open bar. Tickets are $100 a person, but if you think about it, after you have eaten and ordered a couple of drinks downstairs or at the carnival, you come out about even.
I think the Chairman’s Club tickets were well worth the price and we had a great view from high up. Some people like to be closer to the stage, but not only were we surrounded by TVs and speakers, but we had comfortable seats and lots of leg and elbow room. Sometimes it feels cramped in regular seats. Both of us said we would do it again. Plus the cookies they served for dessert…A++ SO delicious!
Saturday night we celebrated my mother-in-law’s long overdue birthday with dinner at Guadalajara. Sunday we made our way home to do boring adult chores like laundry and grocery shopping. While out I picked up a few new drug store makeup items to try. Mostly because I ran out of everything at the same time. Lets be honest, replacing foundation, concealer, and setting powder at Sephora or a makeup counter is really expensive. If I like any of the drug store items I will write a review.
Hope everyone had a great weekend! Anyone going to Rodeo Houston this year? Who are you seeing?
Until next post…xoxo Becca
Over the weekend we celebrated a friend’s Dirty Thirty in Las Vegas. It was my first time going and it was a lot of fun. I’m glad she did something big for her 30th and gave everyone an excuse to have a good time and a vacation.
The hubs and I flew in Thursday night. A storm delayed our flight so we didn’t end up leaving Houston until around 10:30pm. Good thing Vegas is the city that never sleeps š The group stayed at Planet Hollywood (reviewed here). Not the best customer service, but the atmosphere was very fitting for a Dirty Thirty weekend. Since it was late we grabbed a quick dinner and went to sleep.
After dinner we took a party bus (Highly recommend! Get Lacy Long to book everything for you and Ian to be your guide.) to the Las Vegas sign and two Vegas clubs; Ghostbar at the Palms and Light Nightclub at Mandalay Bay. By hiring the party bus it got us into both clubs without waiting in the long lines. Our favorite was Ghostbar. The view was fantastic, the energy was great, good music, and not overly crowded. Light was a little overwhelming, but I pictured it as your quintessential Vegas club. After Light the group split up to do different things. The birthday girl, the hubs, and I ventured off the strip to Count’s Vamp’d. That night they were home to KISS Night in Las Vegas (Started in 2012, KISS Night in Las Vegas is a non-profit project founded to raise awareness and funding for struggling public school music departments. All proceeds from this event go to the Imagine Foundation, which supplies musical equipment to Las Vegas area public schools.)
Sunday everyone headed home except for the hubs and I. We rested, walked over to Caesar’s Palace, had a buffet dinner, watching the Bellagio Fountains and called it a day.
Until next post…xoxo Becca
