Real Life Update!!
Hello my friends! Sorry if I've been a little MIA lately! When I started this TR, I was pounding out updates every few days, but life and work has been catching up to me. I've been extremely busy these past few weeks, but it has been so much fun! To switch things up, I thought I'd tell you guys about my adventures these past few weeks!
October has been a crazy month for me. I work full time during the week, but I've been playing hard on the weekends as well!
October 7-9
The first weekend in October, I visited my boyfriend, Tom. He lives about 2 hours away and we and try to see each other at least once every two weeks. Long-distance dating has definitely been a bit of a change, but we are making things work! It's funny, while in college, we hung out almost every night, oftentimes just staying in, cooking dinner, and watching TV with friends. But now that we live farther away, we try to pack as many fun things into our weekends as we can! I stayed from Friday until Sunday evening, then drove back home to get back on that work grind!
October 14-16
The next weekend was jam-packed with fun activities! My mom had a conference in Wisconsin Dells at the Kalahari resort. Since Tom and I love water parks, we tagged along with her. Friday night, Tom drove down and we made cauliflower-crusted pizza. It was kind of gross, to be honest
We wanted to switch things up and put a healthy twist on pizza, but I'm not a cauliflower fan in general and it made the crust soggy, not crispy! Oh well, you win some and you lose some with recipes 
The next day, we left bright and early for Wisconsin Dells. Before checking into our room, we ate lunch at our favorite restaurant in the Dells: Mac's! It is a specialty macaroni and cheese place with all sorts of crazy combinations! This time, I decided to go with the Chipotle Chicken Mac, Tom got the Taco Mac, and Mom got the Memphis Mac (BBQ pulled pork and onion strings with swiss
)
After our big lunch, we checked into the room and went our separate ways. This conference was for Dental Hygienists, so my mom compiled a lecture about special needs patients and techniques for treatment plans. So, Mom was off to give her 3-hour lecture, while Tom and I jumped into our swimsuits and hit the waterpark! We stayed at the waterpark until about 5 PM. Our favorite ride was the Master Blaster, which was like a water roller-coaster with water jets that shoot you super fast over hills! We also hit up the swim-up bar and shared an Otter Pop slush, which tasted exactly like a red, white and blue popsicle
We were starving after swimming all day, so we got some treats to hold ourselves over until dinner. This was my adorable chocolate-covered Rice Krispie Treat!
Yes, I did take a bite first
Then, we showered, changed, and met my mom for a drink at the steakhouse in the Kalahari. She was with two of her co-workers who had traveled alone, so we ate dinner with them as well. I got a burger with deep-fried cheese curds, and it was delicious!
The Kalahari had an awesome sweets store, so we got some more treats to last us the weekend. Tom and I got cake batter truffles and an amazing chocolate chip cookie topped with Kit Kat's and M&Ms. I ate the whole thing for breakfast the next morning, no shame
We were planning on going bowling later, since there was an alley in the Kalahari. But we were both so exhausted from our big day that we ended up just falling asleep at about 11:30!
The next morning, we were up early again! Mom was heading back home, but Tom and I were driving up to Green Bay! Why?
THERE WAS A PACKER GAME!
My family and I are huge Packer fans! Today, they were playing the Dallas Cowboys. We actually have season tickets and often sell our tickets to friends during the season. But, these tickets were given to Tom and I a long time ago. Because....
Tom is a Cowboys fan.
Seriously, where did I go wrong?? He grew up in Green Bay too, which makes it all the more puzzling to me! My parents love to give him crap about the Cowboys, since they had a bad track record last season. I was ready to rub it in his face when the Packers beat the Cowboys at Lambeau Field!
Well, whoever watched that game knows that didn't exactly happen. But like the great boyfriend he is, he was very respectful and didn't rub it in anybody's face. You can clearly see who the child is in the relationship
The game was so much fun despite the Packer's painful loss. It was Tom's first time seeing the Cowboys play in person, and I loved seeing his excitement. I don't think the smile left his face the whole game 
The most exciting part of the game happened when a Cowboy fan gave a wicked right hook to the Packer fan right in front of us! The Packer fan got a huge black eye, and the Cowboy fan was escorted out by security 
Seriously people, it's just a game!!
It was a 3:30 PM game, so we were out of there by 6:30. We spent some time at Tom's friends house in Green Bay before driving back to Milwaukee. For dinner, we made buffalo chicken dip and watched the movie Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates. Then, we headed home and went to sleep after watching some TV. Tom drove back home the next morning when I left for work.
October 21-24
I definitely saved the most exciting weekend for last in my update! On Friday, I went to work like usual, then drove to the airport and boarded a flight at 7:45 PM. Where was I going??
LAS VEGAS, BABY!!
I was sooooooo excited for this. My best friend Gabi's older sister Dani is getting married in December, and decided to have her bachelorette party in Las Vegas! As soon as I was invited, I knew that I had to go along. I had never been to Vegas before! I had also never flown/traveled by myself, so last weekend was full of new experiences. I could only take one day off work for this long weekend, and I decided to take Monday off rather than Friday, which meant that I needed to fly by myself. I was a little nervous, but for no reason; everything went off without a hitch!
I flew with Frontier airlines, which was extremely cheap but you definitely pay for what you get. The tray tables were really tiny and you had to pay for everything, including a carry-on bag and soda on the flight. Two girls that were college friends with Dani took the same flight out with me, so we met up at the airport and decided to all go in on a cab to the hotel. Our flight landed at 9:30 PM, and I was bouncing out of my seat!
There was a group of about 20 of us total for the bachelorette party. We stayed at the Rio All-Suites Hotel just one mile off the strip. I shared a room with my BFF Gabi, her cousin Kaley, and her mom. Pros: The rooms were huge and it was super cheap. Cons: the theming was underwhelming and it was off the Strip. Even though it was only a mile off, it seemed like a lot farther away. There was a free shuttle that left every 30 minutes to/from the Strip, but it ended up being more tedious than convenient. Since we had such a large group, we couldn't all fit on the shuttle at one time and ended up taking Ubers almost everywhere we went. That being said, the rooms were awesome and it worked well for our party! Next time I visit Vegas, however, I will be sure to fork over the extra money and stay on the Strip.
We arrived at the Rio at 10:30 PM, then quickly changed to head up to the Voodoo Lounge. The Voodoo Lounge was a rooftop bar on the 52nd floor of our hotel, and offered a panoramic view of the strip! It was sooo awesome!
We met up with everyone else (we were the last ones of the party to get in) and danced our little hearts out. The DJ was awesome and was playing all of our favorite jams. The adrenaline was definitely rushing and we were all having such a good time! I still couldn't believe that just a few hours earlier, I had been at work! We ended grabbing some fast food at the food court at about 1 AM and going to bed late! That's Vegas, baby!
The next day, we got up at about 8:45.
Not a bad view to wake up to!
We grabbed breakfast at Hash House a Go-Go in our hotel, and I ordered a huge pumpkin pancake! It was the size of a medium pizza!
After breakfast, we had some much-needed pool time. The weather was perfect, about 90 degrees but it didn't feel sticky. I loved that about Vegas; it was a nice dry heat and I never felt overheated. I even got some color!
At about 4:00, we went in the casino to play some slots. I put in a 20 and came out with $7
Not terrible, but I was not having much luck! But, you have to bet big to win big, and I am so conservative when it comes to gambling! We all got ID'ed about 20 times every day because we look so young 
I don't like it, but my mom always tells me that I'll be happy about it when I'm older!
Once we had gambled for a bit, we decided to go upstairs and get ready for dinner. All 20 of us had reservations at Battista's Hole in the Wall, an Italian restaurant right by Bally's Hotel.
Gabi and I before heading out. BFF's take Vegas!
At dinner, we all had salad, pasta, and cappuccino for dessert. It was delicious! There was an adorable old man with an accordion that came to our table and serenaded us while we ate
After our huge meal, we were starting to hit a wall, but we pushed through. We ended up walking over to the Encore Hotel to check out their club called XS. It was so awesome!! Both the Wynn and Encore are beautiful hotels. They reminded me a lot of the Contemporary actually! It would be awesome to stay there one day.
The club was packed, but very fun! I'm not much of a partier, so I was a bit shell-shocked at first. There was just so much to look at! Luckily, Gabi is laid-back like me, so we were happy just to keep things mellow and look around. Skrillex was DJ-ing, so it was really cool to see so many people cheering and dancing along.
We headed home at about 1:00, then crashed right into bed! We had a big day!
The next day, we woke up at around 9:00 and headed right over to the Strip. I was so excited to see the Strip in the daytime! I had heard so much about the cool themed hotels. Vegas reminds me very much of Disney World in that way! But instead of theme parks, there's casinos!
We all headed over to the Aria Hotel to eat brunch at Todd English's. I ordered breakfast sliders and a Watermelon Mimosa with Pop Rocks on the rim!
After our yummy brunch, we went over to the Cosmopolitan Hotel to check things out and gamble.
It was so gorgeous in there! Definitely had more of a posh feeling than some of the other hotels.
I played some more machines, but didn't win anything! But, Gabi won $14 on a Friends machine, so that was really cool to watch! We then headed over to the Planet Hollywood Hotel so that some of the other girls could play Craps. I don't know how to play, so I just observed. The dealer was so fun and we were all getting super into it! One of the girls in our group ended up winning $125, but another girl lost $160
It was so fun just watching, I think I would have burst into tears if I would have lost that much money!
Love this shot!
After our adventures on the Strip, we headed back to the hotel to get ready for dinner. This is where things kind of started to unravel. It took about an hour and a half to get back because of shuttle and Uber troubles. The traffic was ridiculous, however, so we couldn't really blame them. Then, we got ready for dinner, but some others in the group wanted to go Downtown Vegas for the night. We wanted to go back to the Strip, but nobody else did, so we ended up just kind of hanging out in the lobby for a bit trying to make plans. After about a half hour of mulling around, we finally made a plan!
We just had some Chinese stir-fry for dinner in the hotel. Then, Gabi, me, and the two girls I flew out with Ubered over the Linq hotel. We wanted to go on the High-Roller!
The High-Roller is the tallest observation wheel in the world! Before we embarked, we got some gelato at a little store and looked around the shops at the Linq. They even had a Sprinkles Cupcakes store! Then, we took our 30- minute journey on the High Roller!
This picture was taken at the highest point of the wheel. It was awesome! I love the Eiffel Tower on the right. The four of us had the whole pod to ourselves, so we could walk around and take as many pics as we wanted. It was such a great experience and provided some amazing views of the strip!
Then, we headed back to the hotel and went to sleep. We had been hitting it hard the past few days and desperately needed some shut-eye!
Monday (yesterday) morning, we woke up at 9. Departure day, wahhhhhhh
I figured out that one more night would have been perfect! But, no worries, I didn't fly out until 11 PM that night! I still had a full day to enjoy Las Vegas.
We checked out of our room at 11 AM, and I took a cab over to the Harrah's hotel. Ironically, my sister Haley and her boyfriend Ryan were in Vegas at the same time and staying at Harrah's! My plan was to hang out with them all day, since everyone's else's flight out was at 4 PM. They were nice enough to let me store my luggage in their room until I left for the airport.
When I got to Harrah's, Haley, Ryan and I grabbed coffee at Starbucks while I waited for the bachelorette group to get to the Strip. At 12:30, they texted me saying they were over at the Linq hotel, so I headed on over!
It was pouring outside, so I took an Uber. We ended up staying at the Linq and gambling until they had to leave at 2:00. I lost $20 in blackjack, but made lots of memories learning how to play! There were definitely some tears when everybody left at 2:00; this weekend had been so fun and Dani was so happy the whole time!
After our tearful goodbye, I met Haley and Ryan over at Guy Fieri's restaurant for some lunch. They were here with some other friends because it was Haley's BFF's birthday. I ordered some salami and mozzarella breadstick dippers, and they were super yummy!
After lunch, we split up. Ryan went with the other friends to gamble, while Haley and I decided to check out some of the hotels on the Strip. The first stop was the Mirage! Haley and Ryan were seeing the Beatles: Love Cirque de Soleil show that night and she needed to buy tickets. I was soooooooooo jealous. That was my one regret of the trip: not seeing a show. But, with only 3 nights, there just wasn't enough time! Just another reason to come back I suppose
Once she bought the tickets, we walked down the strip and peeked into the New York, New York Hotel, The Flamingo, and Caesar's Palace. They were all such cool hotels! We definitely preferred the North side of the Strip; the South end looked a bit sketchier. It would be so hard to choose a hotel on the Strip since they are all so unique in their own ways! I think I've narrowed my top choices down to Paris, Caesar's Palace, the Cosmopolitan and the Venetian!
NY, NY Hotel
The Flamingo
Caesar's Palace
We definitely got our exercise in walking up and down the strip! We got some treats at the Hershey's Store and headed back to Harrah's for a rest. We napped from 6:30-7:30 and just chilled out in the room until I left for the airport at 8:30. It was awesome to just have some quality sister bonding time in Vegas! My flight left at 11:05 PM last night, and I didn't get back until 4:30 this morning!! So, needless to say, today I took a four-hour nap and a long, hot shower!
And that brings us to today. I should have a Disney related update by the end of this week! Ta-Ta for now Disfriends! Hope you enjoyed reading about Molly's weekend adventures

It was very exciting for both of us, as it was our first NFL game. And I think that Vegas has turned into one of my new favorite places as well! Next time I go, I will have to make sure I check out a show and also see the Hoover Dam! Oh, and maybe fly out to Anaheim to check out DLR 
It was fun, however, and at least the weather was beautiful, right?! 
October was such a fun month!
Usually I’m not one to throw fits, but I was not pleased. Especially because I like to consider myself a Disney connoisseur, and she was treating me like I didn’t even know what a fastpass was! So, I marched straight up to the male CM that I talked to before and (calmly) exclaimed our predicament. He played dumb at first, but eventually told us we could go back through the FP line. I didn’t want to sound like a brat, but we had FPs for Splash and were told by 2 different CMs that we didn’t need paper FPs to come back! Yikes!
It’s just as charming as I remember it! It’s funny, because Song of the South is such a random, obsolete Disney movie, yet one of WDW’s most popular rides is based off of it!
Children’s XL shirts fit me better than Adult smalls, because I have a really short torso and petite shoulders. I love this shirt and have already worn it so many times! While buying the shirt and filling out the form to send it back to the GF, we talked to the two CM’s working the cash register. They were about my age and just starting their semester in the College Program! We could tell, because things were moving a bit slow, but we didn’t mind it at all and actually really enjoyed chatting with them about the DCP 
I'm glad that the FP deal was all straightened out, or else it would have put a sour taste in our mouths about FP+. We would have been forced to go to guest services, which we NEVER do!!
Especially when it's hot and muggy because they make you feel hotter and muggier and just......gross. But I think wet socks and sneakers are worse lol.
Was it honestly that good?
