Bellagio, MJ Live, and Bacon

Well Vegas certainly hasn’t been disappointing this girl. What a week! My dad and our English relatives visited me this week and we stayed at the gorgeous rooms at the Bellagio. What a treat! It was lots of fun. I had the night off on Wednesday and we saw “O” by Cirque du Soleil. I was fighting back tears because they are so amazing. Another wonderful show. I wish I could be a dancer in cirque one day.

My dad and I before the show. Looking cute. But I have to post this photo:

I Mistakenly asked a bored tourist to take our photo. are you kidding me? Has he ever held a camera before in his life? Probably not by the looks of it. Okay moving on.

Cool O costume.

Bob and Chris admiring the Vegas beauty.

Spectacular views from our Bellagio room.

After my fam left, the girls and I went to see MJ Live at the Rio since we all got free tics cuz were just that awesome. I loved it! We had so much fun screaming “Michael, we love you!”. And the singing and dancing was good too!

Today at work we had a bacon themed potluck for Taryns birthday.

What do showgirls eat, you ask? Oh yes, bacon topped, bacon filled, maple syrup cupcakes. Duh.

Surf and Sand Hotel, Laguna Beach

My aunt Rita, second from left, reps hotels and treated her 3 favorite nieces to a night at the Surf and Sand Hotel on the water in Laguna Beach, CA. The hotel is gorgeous and the views are even better. There’s nothing in front of the hotel but beach and lapping waves. Unfortunately it was raining this weekend, but we sat by the fire and chatted. It was lovely!

We had the penthouse suite, which can go for up to $3,000 a night in the summer. We felt very special.

Yesterday night we went to the bar in the hotel called Splashes which is literally right on the beach. You can’t get a better view of the ocean. We watched the sunset and ordered drinks, truffle cheese fries, calamari, and fish tacos. We had a great time hanging out together with family we hardly ever get to see since everyone is so busy!

Thanks so much to Rita and Elite Resorts and Spas. If you’re in the mood for an amazing weekend at a fabulous resort, call them up!! www.eliteresortsandspas.com and tell them Natalie sent you!!!!

Christmas Lights

Yesterday we put up Xmas lights around the house. Well, my dad did haha. We had a great day hanging out and shopping in Santa Monica. We ate english breakfast at The Kings Head which is soooo cute btw. You HAVE to go. It really looks like you’re I’m England.

We shopped at All Saints, Disney Store, H&M, and Nike. The mall at 3rd St Promenade is pretty cool. Definitely worth doing Christmas shopping there if you happen to be in the area. We were all very happy with our purchases. Dad got some Nightmare Before Christmas tree ornaments. Super cute. Now I wanna watch the movie!!

Later!

End of Summer Family BBQ

Spent the day at my aunt’s house with a lot of family members celebrating my aunt Shirley who lives in Holland.  Also it’s finally fall, so it was nice to see everyone before it gets cold and people get busy!  We grilled burgers, ate so much food, talked a lot, and ate way too much cake.  Or maybe that last one was just me… Anyways, here’s what I wore!

Wish me luck!

Santa Catalina Island Getaway

Catalina Island is probably my favorite place to go in the summertime.  It is so romantic, beautiful, warm, and fun!  We went snorkeling off of the casino and then tanned on the beach alllll day.

Luckily we got these photos from out day on the island.  I told James how to use his Nikon camera…but all the pictures turned out black…  Never trust me with camera advice!!!!! Whoooppss!! Sorry James!

Summer BBQ

Last week my Auntie Rita had a little BBQ get-t0gether for the fam and one of my uncle’s birthdays.  It was a lovely affair complete with burgers, watermelon, and one amazing lemon cake from Costco.  I wore my new Aldo shoes.  I was on the fence at first about them, but I really like them now!  Plus I got them on sale I mean hellloooo how can that be bad?!

Me and my Auntie Rita!!
