We had fancy dinner as a group on Saturday, and then on Sunday Anja scored us free tickets to see Love, the Cirque de Soleil show set to the music of the Beatles (squee!) The rest of the time we filled with eating, wandering around the casino and checking out the strip. Tim and I, collectively, gambled away $16. I know. We're high rollers. And note: I played most of those on a dollar by dollar basis. At one point I was up 52 cents on one of my dollars, but then I lost it all! (we didn't have to wash dishes to pay our dinner bill, thankfully.)
Fun jewelry related items: in addition to all of the sparklers that I brought, Anja also let me wear this fabulous ruby and diamond necklace that she won in a casino tournament a few years ago. I wore it every day, including to breakfast. She teased me about it, but I pointed out that I couldn't very well leave the necklace alone in our room. What if it got lonely? In other thrilling news, on Sunday I was in the Dior store, drooling heavily over their Diorette rings. They're gemstones and enamel and a knuckle-ful of prettiness.
Too bad they are also $16,000. But getting to try one on was amazing enough (full disclosure: mom and I once got to try them on in Beverly Hills too. It's slightly less fun to try these beauties on without mom.)So, here are some of the photos from our trip:
Catalina and the sunset on the flight over.
We stayed at the Bellagio. Paris, and the water show at night.

Just a little snack.

Me, peeved about losing yet another dollar (good shot of Anja's necklace and my fake eyelashes, which I also wore all weekend long.)

Tim is all out of money on Monday afternoon. Because he only brought about $25 with him for the trip.
