{ vegas on the rocks }

I never thought I'd say that I miss Vegas but I miss Vegas...

the last time I was there, I was moving from the west coast and didn't know when I'd be back

so almost six years later, I saw a whole new side of Vegas that I'd never seen before...
there's something magical and normal (not my normal) about the suburbs

like anywhere, it's really about the people you're with and my people are the best

but in Vegas there are cute neighborhoods and great local restaurants

and you can have turtles named beastie in your backyard

and there is lots of space and if you feel like putting on your heels you can head down to the lights

it's like a little mini everything...more like a fabrication of everything

but there are still shows { Celine! } and restaurants and all of that stuff...

and when you really need to get away from the city lights you can take a little drive...

red rock canyon is GORGEOUS...I'm definitely not going to let another six years go by.

{ snowballs for dinner }

temp and I met for a walk after work for some storytelling & exploring...

one of my favorite things to do in the city.

Christopher was where we started because it's always a good place to begin

we sat in a little park with a fountain and then made our way to a much bigger fountain

and maybe temp decided it was the night to dance in the fountain and then we walked some more

and came across this lovely little shop called Imperial Woodpecker Snowballs

and it was oh so perfect and oh so lovely and we sat and ate snowballs for dinner...so delicious!

The sky was getting dark so we decided to make our way home and outside the subway

it was downpouring and we forgot our umbrellas but sometimes it's fun to just go for it

so we ran as fast as we could...screaming through the rain and still got drenched but it was worth it.
