On night #1 my hubby and I went out to dinner with Hadar from Miss Kindergarten and Kristin from A Teeny Tiny Teacher. And if you want to laugh you can read Kristin's break down of the whole evening {Kristin's link}. Here we are after eating dinner at a place literally called "A Hole in the Wall" which was suggested by a taxi driver.
That's me {in some weird lean over pose?}, Kristin and Hadar.
Day 2 included some pool time. We had a cabana...at the Venetian. How fancy is that?

Sadly this is the only picture I have from that.... and let me be honest, when I say "we" had a cabana... what I really mean is that Kelley from Teacher Idea Factory, Stephanie from Falling into First and Melissa from Lesson Plan SOS were the cabana coordinators who graciously allowed me and Mr. Crayons and Whimsy to join them.

That night was the blogger meet up....again... wasn't too good about taking pictures {don't ask!} So I snagged a few of these from What the Teacher Wants. Rachelle and Natalie were the hostesses of this event and they did an ah-mazing job! Unlike me, Natalie was great about taking pictures so if you go to their Facebook page or blog you'll see a ton more...including Deanna Jump with Elvis! We were in Vegas so what did you expect?
Whoa there... that's a full house of bloggers and followers!
These are all the bloggers at the meet up! Holy cow that is a lot of fun in one place. Can you see me? It's ok... I can barely see me...but I am dead center under Deedee Wills and behind Hadar.
Here is me, Rachelle from What the Teacher Wants, Melissa from Lesson Plan SOS and Kelley from Teacher Idea Factory. If you are wondering how did I get in a picture with all these ladies... the answer is, I'm not sure, but it was AWESOME to meet them!
Did I mention there were prizes. Oh yes, there were! And we had a HOT table because there were so many winners :)
Here is me, Krisin and Hadar when we found out we won!
Kristin and me!
Then a bunch of us went to dinner together and it was so fun to get to know everyone better.

Next thing I knew people were off and it was done...what? I want more time with these awesome new friends! But, I got to hang out with this guy {who luckily hit off with Mr. Teeny Tiny and Mr. Kindergarten who he spent most of his time with so it was nice to have one night with him}
It was F.U.N.
Stop by What the Teacher Wants to hear about everyone else's trip.

I've also been thinking that a trip from Australia might be worth it to join in on the Vegas fun in 2014! :)

Your information was very helpful to me. It's a very nice blog of yours. I learned a lot from this experience. Are you aware that typing speed is important to everyone? All of us are looking for ways to improve our productivity, whether at the office or at home. Typing faster is a simple way to accomplish more. If you double your typing speed, you can accomplish twice as much in the same amount of time. I suggest you visit word per minute test site for typing related information.
