To go to Vegas, Or not to go to Vegas? That is the Question.

Okay, so for those that don't know, Olin's eldest sister, Jen, is supposively getting married. They're not sure on a date, which sucks for us b/c we live all the way over here- and need to PLAN. Also, we've heard they were gonna get married a few times, so we really hope this is it. Otherwise, I'm wasting a lot of time crunching numbers and budgeting our lifestyle so we are able to afford to go, and not live on the streets of Vegas like bums with our 15 month old baby :) So as I'm crunching numbers, I'm finding more and more crap!

So currently it's like this:

Gas (there & back) : $700. If gas stays lower.
Hotels (on the way there & back!): $100.
3 Nights in a Hotel While IN Vegas: $200 (Stratosphere Hotel!!!)
Spending Money: $500.

So in total we're looking at : $1,500.

So it's like, do we save it or not? I mean, my amounts are estimates b/c all we know is spring or summer. Am I sounding like a bitch? I mean, I'm just a planner. I like to have things planned out, with dates, times, & locations as far in advance as I can! And I'm going nuts over this!!!

On the brightside, we can put $50 bucks a month extra away starting in October! We will be Full Time Cloth Diapering by then!!! Yay!

Okay... let me know if I'm leaving crap out! Well, I just thought- food. We'll have a cooler for on the way there and back- but while we're there, we'll have to buy food.. Ugh, fattening, fake meat from fast food restaurants. Tasty. Not!
