Catch up on Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3, and Chapter 4 before joining us to say goodbye at the end of this 50th birthday Vegas trip.
Packing Up the Kingpin Suite
Sunday morning, we sleep late and rush to get things gathered and cleaned up in the Kingpin Suite. Cody and Michael are heading home this morning, and since they are driving, we are sending coolers and gifts and booze home with them. We made them promise the booze would ALL make it to our house LOL.
As we are finishing loading the bell cart with coolers and stuff, the maids have arrived so we are scrambling to make sure we got all of our belongings and are not leaving anything of importance behind. We take our things back to the Ivory Suite, where we will stay for one last night, and then head down to breakfast in the cafe.
Watching the Broncos Win
Friends and family are coming and going, some eating, some just chatting, some going to gamble, some to sightsee, and some headed home. It is already late morning, almost afternoon, and the football games have begun. Donna has reserved a private area upstairs at Hooters for all of us to watch the Denver Broncos game.
The rest of the afternoon was spent saying goodbye to good friends and family, watching our Broncos win, and enjoying beer and snacks.
One Last Night at the Wynn
Now it is down to Chris and Rachel, Robert and Michelle, and Donna and I. We head over to the Wynn for some gambling. We win some and lose some on the slots. Chris watches his beloved Cowboys from the sports book.
Dinner at Buddy V’s
Late evening, we decide we are hungry and venture over to Buddy V’s at the Palazzo for some dinner. We can see a TV from our table, can’t hear it, but Chris can finish watching his game. We enjoy some amazing food, way too much food.
I think Chris hadn’t quite recovered from last night’s shenanigans and just watched us all eat our dinners. We said our goodbyes as we returned to the Palms as everyone was leaving at different times in the morning.
Fifty Is Not So Bad
We returned home Monday midday totally exhausted but so excited to see our Peanut after school. What an unforgettable week long celebration of, well, me! Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone that came to celebrate with me in any way.
Definitely not something that will soon be forgotten. What a whirlwind week, I apologize if I forgot to mention you or something that happened. If that is the case, I would love for you to comment here on the blog and add things you remember! (Well, maybe not everything you remember, LOL!) 50 is not so bad!
