Sisterly Adventure

So my WONDERFUL sister, Little Miss Christy, was in town last week. We had such a fun time together and even got “away” for a little bit. Here’s some highlights….
Canvas and corkscrews, this has been on my to-do list for a long time. Especially  painting the cherry blossom picture. I’m considering updating my guest room to be based on the colors and look of this painting. Could be PRETTY cute… and girly (can I get an AMEN?)

Next up: overnight getaway to Blackhawk (Wood girls ONLY)
I know it’s a little cliché, BUT we stayed at the nicest place up there AND it was far enough away, without being too far. Unfortunately, the rest and relaxation was so nice (that and I didn’t call for a late check out) that we were exhausted the next afternoon and came home a little early. Like when you finally get a good night’s sleep yet you’re tired the next day because you needed the sleep so much?? Does that happen to you? I hope so, otherwise I’ve gotta get that checked :) ANYWAYS, we were away for 22 hours… hoping to make it at least 24. I guess we’ll just have to try again… in vegas, or the beach, or at a spa or ….
We stayed at Ameristar and unfortunately, I did not remember my camera the first night to document our evening. (Isn’t there some rule about cameras in casinos anyways?) It wasn’t too eventful: checked out the hotel, people watched and walked around, drank some cocktails, gambled away $6 on penny slots, and enjoyed live music.
Here’s when I DID remember the camera!
