Meg and I at the Bear for Sarah's 25th.
Drinks by the shore!
Harrah's....post buffet. I was like DYING.
Sarah and I at Crush 201 for her actual birthday.
What could be better?
Life is uncertain, eat dessert first.
The gals and I went to Lake Tahoe for the weekend of Sarah's 25th... it was a blasty-blast!
The weekend got off to a rough start... as in didn't happen.
The original weekend we were planing to go, Sarah's Grandfather died, and we had to postpone our weekend of fun in the sun so she could attend his memorial service. Once we heard the sad news, Meghan and I quickly made plans to push the festivities back a week.
FINALLY, the Friday we had been waiting for practically all summer had arrived, and we piled into Sarah's ice blue civic and set off!
Sarah and Meghan had been telling me about the glorious and amazing buffets in the casino hotels, so naturally the first night we were there, we HAD to have dinner at Harrah's! It.was.amazing,
As per usual, I totally went for the GOLD, and ended up feeling sicker than EVER as we finished up the evening. I turned to Sarah and uttered the immortal words: Can one just lay down at a buffet? Like, do you think it would be appropriate?
We spent the next two days laying in the sun, reading our Sophie Kinsella novels, and enjoying the heck out of each other. It was the perfect relaxing vacation, which we ALL needed, especially Sarah, who works a million hours a week and is ALWAYS taking care of other people!
It was so different from my Euro adventures because we like literally just laid around for two days. No museums, no train tickets...just Starbucks every morning and sunburns (oops!) in the afternoons...I loved it!
The Monday after the trip was Sarah's Grandad's ash-scattering in San Francisco. She was already headed to Sunnyvale, so I hitched a ride with her to visit Steven, since I haven't been to see him in Santa Clara yet.
We had such a great time gal paling around Santana Row (the shopping center where he works), and I got a GREAT Vera Bradley lunch tote.
All in all, great summer getaway!
