A Trip for the Ages with My Mama and Friends in Las Vegas

A photo book of the trip is EXACTLY what I am giving her for her birthday and Ryan is sending me 8.5 x 11 photos of a few pics, including this one.

 

So humbled to have been allowed to go on this very personal trip with you. I love all of your trip reports, but this one was so special. Thank you for taking us all along.

 

What an amazing photo.

 

An amazing and very blessed trip indeed. Thank you for sharing it with us…

 

So very beautiful!

 

I’m so glad mama flowers ended up with the new meds. UTIs are horrible. I sit here & cry reading your report & missing my own mom. We finally get to have her celebration in a couple weeks, 16 months late. Hold onto every moment & cherish each one. The picture of the two of you in Death Valley is so special.

Lymes is also a horrid thing to deal with. Very prevalent my neck of the woods. One of the first diagnosed cases belonged to my BFFs son when he was very young. Of the 4 in my family, I’m the only one who hasn’t had it. So good he was finally diagnosed properly.

 

So happy to hear your celebration will take place. And regarding cherishing every moment, absolutely and Amen.

 

WONDERFUL memories Flowers, welcome back from an exceptional trip

 

'THE photo' of you and your mom is beautiful beyond belief. The two of you and the milky way - words fail me. Of all the pictures in all of the reports you have written, this one is my absolute favourite. Thank you so much for sharing. I hope to see that sky myself some day.

 

Finally caught back up. Another wonderful trip!!!

And hope Mama Flowers is continuing to get better. M's dad got a UTI near the end of our Universal trip in 2016, and it knocked him for a loop. He toughed it out and even for awhile after we got home because he didn't realize it was a UTI... doh.

And glad you enjoyed those concerts and that picture of you and your mom at Death Valley is just beautiful.

 

wow that' fantastic, a good experience with CET for once.

you did have a stay double booked there to redeem it, though right? I was under the impression the stay had to also be previously coded to this benefit in order to redeem it? I still have my credit for this year, too, I am wondering if you can just walk in on any stay like that?

 

I had checked out of Caesars 10 days earlier but the Cromwell rep told me no stay was required in any event.

 

Thank you thank you thank you. I have followed this entire trip as always! The photo of you and your Mom is beautiful. I have commented before that I am a fellow 1964 girl and my Mom is my favourite Vegas partner. We have had some rough medical times over the past couple weeks and things are shifting as I need to be more involved in my parents care. First thing is to get them out of their house............been in for 50 years. I truly hope I will get her back to Vegas some day but her spirits and spunk very low at the moment. Covid not helping as things still pretty locked here in Canada. Anyway, I just want to thank you again. SO glad you had this special trip! Take Care........

 

Thank you so much for sharing this trip with us Flowers! This is the first TR of yours that i have read, and it was spectacular. Appreciate all your photos and keen insights. Man did this make me want to stay at Wynncore!! Great that your Mom was able to go and have a good trip, and I am glad that you were able to get her some meds there and that made her feel better. Glad you created so many memories, and thanks again for sharing!

 

Thank you so much for sharing your time & experience with us. What a wonderful pictures of you & your Mama! A real treasure for sure!

 

Thank you for taking us along on your trip! You have had amazing trips in the past but I don't think anything will ever top this trip with Mama Flowers! You are so blessed!

 

What an awesome trip report, looking forward to the final entries in your TR to complete the trip. Thanks again for allowing us to follow along.

 

Thanks for an awesome report, and especially thanks for the dinner invite. I said it my TR but I'll say it again here - the times we've spent with you and other VMBers at Wynn are some of my favorite and most memorable Vegas memories. That's the stuff money just can't buy!

I was so excited about the possibility of meeting Mamma Flowers, and it's unfortunate that didn't happen, but I'm glad she is doing better and that you got to have this trip with her, in spite of the ups and downs. I caught myself at Wynn, PHo, and elsewhere at MLife thinking, and occasionally even verbalizing, that my slot needs to be fixed because it's not paying, and that will probably stick forever lol.

I'll have to go back through and read this whole thing end to end because I missed so much during my 7 days of travel, but my gosh...you saw Brad paisley, the Bieber, and Garth Brooks all in one trip!?!?! Amazing!

Also, I just want to point out, that I realized something last night while reliving last week via some of the lake of dreams video clips I took: I've long referred to Chuck E Cheese as "kid's casino" but I realized last night, that all the places around the Lake of Dreams at Wynn are actually "Adults' Chuck E Cheese." Think about it - you got some food, but it's really good food, not kid food. And there's high end wine and liquor. Every half hour, you get a musical animatronic show, obviously more adult themed. And if you clean your plate, you can walk out of the dining area and play slots, VP, and table games for prizes. Yep, Vegas is Disney for adults and Lakeside, Parasol Down, and SW are its Chuck E Cheese!!!

 

It was so wonderful to hang with you, Luck and @eliza and it was my pleasure.

On the Mama Flowers front, I wanted to share that today -- July 14th -- is indeed her birthday. She is officially now 89 years young! I pray that at 89 I'm well enough to travel across country to enjoy Vegas or do whatever my heart at that time desires.

Happy birthday mom!

 

I know. Right?!?!
