So, OK. I’m back and ready to post more pics about my awesome weekend. Today was rough because I had to return to the Real World. Blah.

Anyway, Friday night, we got dolled up in our rooms.

And we headed out to a restaurant that was off the lobby of The Water Club. It was called the Sunroom, and it was really cool, because we sat on couches/ottomans and ate at a large coffee-table like thing. I kind of felt like I was in the Sex and the City movie, hehe.

The drinks were really unique. I think my drink was called Opals and Pearls, or something like that. All I remember is that it had some pear in it and was really good. Andi and Jess got some Red Dragon drink that had lychee in it.

And I ordered a burger and fries. I know that sounds lame, but it was some fancy sirloin burger with a red pepper sauce and some really, really amazing french fries. It was awesome.

Jodie and Jess ordered lobster bisque, and the waitress brought out the bowls with lobster in the bottom, and then poured the bisque over the top out of a teapot. I had a taste of Jess’s, and it was oh so good creamy buttery lobster goodness.

After that, we walked around the casino and lost some money playing slots, haha. You really can’t take pictures in the casino, so I don’t have any pictures of that. We actually turned in kind of early. We knew Saturday was going to be a long day.

When we woke up Saturday, we all agreed we’d like to go shopping. Before we left for the trip, my cousin had suggested heading out to Caesar’s Pier downtown, and the girls seemed to like that idea, so we took a cab to the boardwalk. Here’s a shot of the outside of Caesar’s Pier.

First, we walked about onto the beach.

And then we walked into Caesar’s Pier. It was a really cool set of shops. Most of them were over my budget, haha. I mean, seriously, some of these shoes were half of my mortgage. Ugh. But it was really cool to walk around.

Then, we all decided that THE place to eat was the Rainforest Cafe. I realize it’s geared to children, but where else can you go to see robotic animals move and talk every 15 minutes in a simulated jungle? I mean, come on. It’s the coolest restaurant ever.

Oh, and I got a burger again. The girls started to make fun of me.

And then we ordered “The Volcano,” which is apparently their fancy desert. It wasn’t particularly pretty, but the servers all yelled and made noise when you ordered one and we needed a reason to yell with them, so we ordered one.

Here I am waiting for the desert. I was pretty excited about it.

And here’s the volcano!

We all immediately dug in to this brownie-ice cream concoction. Another waiter walked by and said “You girls are killing that thing!” No lie. We were like vultures. This was the plate after 10 seconds.

HAHA!

I love the Rainforest Cafe.

So then we headed back to the hotel, and agreed we all really wanted to head to the pool. The Water Club has two indoor pools, and the one was free admission to guests. It was an AWESOME pool. Very pretty, clean, relaxing. I loved it. I was in complete peace when we were there.

There two hot tubs. I could have slept in them.

We hung out, had some drinks, and then headed up to the room for our night out!

I’ll post about our night in a separate post. Sorry I’m keeping you all in suspense, haha! There are just too many pictures to go over! Sorry!
