August 24, 2014: My 40th Birthday





























I still can't believe I am 40 years old.  I woke up a little anxious.  Mom gave me a birthday card and a cute book about what has happened in the world in the last 40 years.

We had a wonderful brunch at Buddy V's at the Venetian Hotel.   This is the Cake Boss's Italian restaurant that just opened in Fall 2013.   All of the dishes were family recipes.   Looked at the photos of the family on the walls.   Talked with a manager who said that Buddy was in town, but at meetings, but would be coming into the restaurant later.

After brunch, we took the gondola ride inside the Venetian.  It was $18 each for a 15 minute ride.  I bought a cute wallet at Michael Kor's store.    Mom found a Coach wallet she liked.   Both wallets fit our I-phones.

I had make the mistake of wearing new sandals so one of was rubbing against my foot causing me great pain.   I hobbled along the Strip to the Mirage Hotel and got a bandaid.  I wanted to see the famous tigers there, but they no longer have them on display, unless you want to pay.  

Went to Mandalay Bay to see the Cirque de Soleil --Michael Jackson show.  I enjoyed the show and music.   Mom fell asleep during parts of it.  I can't understand how she could fall asleep with the loud music.

We came back to the hotel for a nap.  Then, we went to the Brittany Spears concert at Planet Hollywood Casino.   Brittany sure put on a good show, with many changes in costume.  
I would have to say that this was the most awesome 40th birthday.
