I’m home after one helluva week.
I may have left my heart in Vegas.
The softball team tied one, lost one, won one, and then lost another… that we never should have lost… but whatever. I’m already looking forward to next year!
Seeing as how I’m on the late flight back to ATL, this is going marvelous Monday of pictures.
I wore my lucky socks. Because bacon.
How could I pass up this pre-game photo op?
We cleaned up niiiiiice for the strip.
We enjoyed the kitsch of old Vegas.
I went for a morning run on the Strip and found a rainbow a the Billagio!
They say everything is bigger in Texas but I think “they” got it wrong.
I’ve never seen bigger pancakes than the TRIPLE stack at The Griddle. I didn’t even finish 25%!
But I did drink allllll the drinks.
And learned that sometimes… you just have to take a time out.
But what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. 😉
Back to the grind I go…

Check back on this post for the Quest protein chip winners!
Have you ever been to Vegas? Did you like it?
Could you have finished that pancake stack?
Glad that you had a great time! Those pancakes are huge!! Also, can I tell you that you look fantastic?
Thanks friend! Those were epic pancakes.
Wow that looks like a fun trip! YEs, I’ve been to Vegas to run the marathon when it was still a morning marathon — went to bed the 1st night at 8pm so I could get up at 4 for the race. The night after the race we were going to go to ALL the parties and bars, I had one of those yard margarita in the afternoon and passed out. So, I’ve never been awake past 8pm in Vegas — I’m wild like that
Ha! I saw a 100oz margarita last night and stared in awe.
Ah what fun- I love Vegas!! I’d like to think I could take on that pancake stack but damn, that’s huge!
That does look like a helluva week! I honestly think I could have finished those pancakes, if it was after one of my monster 20 mile progression runs. I love seeing the waitresses face when I finsih my mountain stacks, I feel like they want to lift me up and see if I hid it anywhere. Pancakes are my thing, and I would love to go for that stack!
I’d have said the same thing… but holy mother of pancakes. The server said he’s never seen it done, but one 300 lb guy came close.
Giant donuts and pancakes for a blogger with a giant awesome personality 😀
Las Vegas seems like it was brilliant!
Cheers

LOL! Thank you, friend!
back to TEXAS 🙂
you are sooo coming to visit when I move back to the BIGBIGBIGSTATE yes? 🙂
Totally! I love Texas – have a lot of family there. 🙂
Yum!!! I can never say no to a food challenge, so those pancakes would be going down! I hope you had plenty of shenanigans haha 😉
Ha! I had a more than my share. But I swear to you… there is no way to finish that pancake in one sitting. There were 3 stacked up that big!
I think someone I work with went to that same softball tournament. At least, it looks that way from FB.
Glad you had fun. I’ve been to Vegas twice and actually liked it way more than I expected to.
Really? Who??
Cute pics! Vegas is fun but I always feel like I need a vacation after being around so much excess
I feel that way after every vacation, it seems. 🙂
Those pancakes!! Maybe 50%. After a double Powerlifting class 🙂
So glad you had such a good time, you look great and happy!!
You and I together could conquer them.
No matter how much fun, a week in Vegas is a long time. Glad you had fun. I love running early on the strip. You see a different Las Vegas at that time of day.
Vegas can be exhausting! We went for NYE a few years back. From what I remember, we had a blast! 😉
Ha! From what I remember Vegas is always a blast.
Have they got everything in supersize at texas? I mean, pancakes? Their “donut”? I wonder what their bacon would look like.
Mmmm… bacon. 😉
Never been to Vegas. Sounds like you lived it up and enjoyed! Now back to reality 😉
I’ve always wanted to go! I don’t really enjoy gambling, but I’d love all the Cirque and burlesque shows, crazy food, lights, and kitsch. Sounds like you had fun, congrats on your game win!
I didn’t bother gambling, but the shows… you’d have LOVED the second one I went to. It was so off-color that I laughed til I couldn’t breathe.
I doubt I could finish those pancakes, but it would be fun to try! 😉 And I’ve never been to Vegas, but it’s high on my bucket list.
I love Vegas! I hope to go with Josh soon!
Holly pancakes!!! Everything in Vegas is a exaggerated. I’m surprised it’s not part of TX.
Dang that’s one heck of a big pancake! Have you been to J.R.’s in Norcross (GA)? I recall going there about 5 years ago and being served a pancake stack that was the size of a large thali! Crazy!
Noooo… but I think I need to take a field trip!
Too much fun!!!!!!!!!!!!! I saw of those Texas size donuts in Idaho when I was there – HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AND there was a cookie stack of pancakes. 🙂
I probably couldn’t have finished that epic stack of pancakes, but I sure would have liked to try. 🙂
Me, you, and Heather could have taken it down. We need a girls vacation.
I love Vegas!!!
Sorry you lost a game that you shouldn’t have!!
And, I like your hair blonde (it is lighter, right??)!
The sun bleached it!
Those pancakes! I’m curious to see how much I could finish off. By the way, I love your hair!
Thanks! It’s trying to grow out. 🙂
Those pancakes look amazing! What’s inside the stack, is there a delish sauce of some kind?
Very jealous of your holiday, looks like you had the best time!
It’s brown sugar bakes banana!
i think you need to come to Texas.. I’ll show you big. Pancakes that is. and maybe steak
HA! Big balls?
What fun! Looks like you had a fabulous time, Laura! Glad you’re back safely!
Hiya! I LOVE LOVE LOVE Vegas! I’ve been there 4 times and it’s my favorite place thus far (and I’m not even a gambler!) Totally LOVING your blog, btw…just blog hopping and came across yours – glad I did 🙂
Thank you so much! I can’t believe you’e been 4x! I can see why though… I don’t gamble either but there are a million other things to do.
Glad you had a great time and won some!! 🙂 You look great in all the photos!! You go girl! 🙂 Those pancakes look delish mmm Hopefully next year ya’ll win BIG! Have a great one Laura! -Iva
