Vegas Baby!

Evey year around this time is the annual WPPI celebration.  Wedding and Portrait Photographers International.  The last few years its been at the MGM, this was my 4th time going!  We got a suite at the MGM Signature again with my girlfriends.  Sadly I took very few photos.

Sunday - I drove out alone, took about 5 hours.  Nothing too exciting, I quite enjoy the time to think and sing Ke$ha at the top of my lungs.  I got to the hotel room and immediately got ready to go out to our first networking party.  Our first stop was dinner at Diego in the MGM.  We had a horrible experience last time, so this one was a little better.  After we went to the GoBee party.  It was super crowded, hot and sweaty.  I usually have a total blast but this time there were just too many people!  My college sorority sister Marisa and her new hubby just happened to be in town so they met us there.  We went back to the hotel around midnight and I stayed up with Marisa and Ryan for a drink at Rouge. It was really great to see her!

 

Monday - Trade show day!  Allie, Milisa and I spent the day checking out the trade show floor and running in to old friends.  We got to see Erin and Ben Chrisman (my favs) speak at one of the booths so that was fun!  After the trade show, we went to a vintage thrift store and the mall where I bought myself some TOMs shoes!  Love them!  We had dinner at an awesome place called Strip Burger, Allie introduced us to.  I will definitely be going back!  We went to a networking with SD people at Rouge for a bit and then headed off to another party.  As soon as we stepped off the elevator we were informed the security shut down the party! Bummer!  We just went back to the room and hung out until we crashed for bed.

Tuesday - My last day!  I had to go home early because of a mid-week wedding.  We got up and ran a few errands on the trade show floor.  I got on the road around 1pm and was home to see Jason by 6pm!  :)

Can't wait for next year!!!!

Our annual bed jumping tradition :)
