I had quite the eventful weekend. I drove to Las Vegas to see Celine Dion with my friends, Tanna and Jed (Jason didn't want to pay to see her....and he had to work anyways). We had a great time! Tanna and I have been talking about going together for years. Now was the time because she's done with her Vegas show at the end of the year.I left Saturday morning and drove the 6 hours to meet them. I listened to my Celine Dion Greatest Hits so I could be up to speed with her music. We stayed at Melinda and Jason's house (Melinda is my brother's sister-in-law). They were so nice to let us crash at their place. After we got there we went to the New York New York casino and rode the roller coaster. YIKES!!! It was very scary! I use to be quite the dare-devil, but having kids has made me lame and boring. I sat by a Korean lady that was visiting a friend. We made small talk while climbing the huge hill to the top of the coaster.
Following that, we went to dinner at Macaroni Grill and then headed to the concert. We had some parking issues, but we pressed on and made it to Caesars Palace. Celine was amazing! Tanna and I kept saying how gorgeous she is. She sang all the songs I was hoping she would. She also did a little tribute to Frank Sinatra. I really like one of the songs she did for that, "All the Way". I put it on my playlist so I could listen to it. One of my favorites was "I Drove All Night". The stage was huge and there were so many dancers! We had a fabulous time. It was a fun memory made with Tanna and Jed. I always enjoy hanging out with them and talking about life. 
I also tried to add a song from High School Musical 2 to the playlist, but all the songs sounded funny. I downloaded the soundtrack album to my ipod for the trip to Vegas. The movie is ultra-cheese, but you have to admit it's entertaining. Many of you are now rolling your eyes,laughing, or thinking, "typical Maggie" but hey........I like the music and after 6 hours, I have them all memorized! Good times! I really like running to "Bet on it".

Looks like a party. Glad you were safe and had fun! I wasn't worried for you about the weather, but I'm sure you were fine. How were your kids?
I'm so glad you were able to go. I don't know what I am more jealous of, the concert or time away from kids.
Celine Dion is the devil. The devil!
I am jealous. Not a huge Celine fan (but come on what girl didn't love Titanic when it came out) but I think the show would be amazing with all the other things going on. How did you get tickets?? You inspired me to look into it since this is the last year but there is not much available out there.
