Marge logic! I'm here for it. And "$100 cheaper than what??" Right?! Sheesh.

What a fun share, Jen. Great to see photos and LOVE that you went to that show barely post baby. That's a badass move right there, my friend.

Thank you! I took another photo on the weekend when the pool was over-crowded with "vegas people," and there was a woman being spray painted red in the background. LOL

Somehow this post makes me miss Las Vegas? I lived there in my 20s and haven’t been back in 10 years. Saw U2’s 360 tour there back in the day.

To be fair, maybe the non-strip version of Vegas is less... Vegasy?

Still Vegas-y! My students would often say they “don’t want to be a stripper” like kids elsewhere would say they don’t want to be a dropout. And I literally found myself gambling at the gas station once 😱

Brilliant post, Jen! Have a great break, and I'll see you in 2024! 🎄

I love the sound of your mom, '...who pioneered the concept of asking forgiveness not permission.' Awesome. xxx

Also the story about your mom is so heart warming - “I’m sure it’s just weekdays” is hilarious!
