We all know about what happens in Vegas.
That’s never actually worked for me.
What happens in Vegas typically stays with me. I marry it, Instagram it, or post about it.
And that leads me to my very first submission to Meghan’s Week In Review.
Vegas and I spent a long weekend in Vegas. It started a little something like this:…
Vegas and I are giant kids.
Giant wine-drinking kids.
We first met 7 years ago playing softball and reunited last year when I flew to Vegas to play ball in a tournament. This year we played in that same tournament again, this time on our old Atlanta team.
…
I’m doing what I was doing exactly a year ago.
Minus the whole being married and having the flu part.
Vegas and I are playing in the softball world series with our old Atlanta team. We’ve won both games so far! Last year it was in Vegas, and that’s when I claimed MY Vegas. 😉
Coors is the series sponsor. Incase you couldn’t tell.

Arizona is a beautiful dessert.
So many odd plants… it’s like a Dr. Seuss book.
We spent the weekend in Tucson and enjoyed so many sights. Elvis even came along! Remember him from the cross-country move?
…
Remember that time I honeymooned in Greece?
I still wish we’d stayed.
Shrouded in ancient mythology, surrounded by dazzling coasts and home to proud locals, it’s no wonder Greece continues to be a popular vacation destination for people around the world. Its Mediterranean diet and incredible terrain make this a perfect destination to help you keep in shape, especially if you’re aiming to enjoy some beach days too.

I’m cheating a little this week.
Not Ashley Madison style though… here’s to karma.
I’m cheating by not having a actual strange but good recipe. Vegas and I are in Arizona and I didn’t really do anything that strange food-wise unless you count my salmon scramble in Wednesday’s post. Or maybe my road salad. Perhaps Vegas’ gas station selections.
We did eat some strange food in Scottsdale Wednesday night though! I spent a couple of hours of the drive searching for the best possible food options for dinner when we arrived. I landed on SumoMaya – an Asian-Mexican fusion concept. We were not disappointed!

It’s not secret Italy is my favorite place in the world.
I could move to wine heaven.
When it comes to the combination of history and cuisine, there are few places in the world that provide the type of high quality dishes and sightseeing that Rome does. From Michelangelo’s ceiling in the Sistine Chapel and the Gladiator lore of the Colosseum, to the local eateries and the world-renowned restaurants, weekend breaks to Rome provide something for everyone. I first went when I was 15 and I think my jaw hit the floor and stayed there the whole trip!
If you’re looking for a tasty get away to Rome, here are some of the city’s best dishes.

I should probably stop celebrating my birthday now.
But at 32 I’m just not that mature yet.
Vegas had an amazing surprise planned for me on my birthday… but she didn’t wait until the day of to treat me! And – because I don’t think you should stop being treated either – I have a delicious (healthy-ish!) cheesecake dessert giveaway for you at the end of this post.
So. To begin the birthday celebration we first went to a fabulous dinner on my birthday-eve. The Patio on Goldfinch has been on my list to try for a long time. Vegas picked me up in my freshly washed car (another treat!) and we had a lovely evening out. How fabulous does this look?!
