Nothing Says Spring Break Like......

15 Years Ago...Spring Break, Las Vegas, NV
*Gotta love the bob haircut and bangs....my brother is going to kill me for posting this pic!


Yesterday...Spring Break, Gatlinburg, TN
*Gotta love the silly little grin, and the hair in her face!


You may ask, "What on earth do these two pictures have in common?" By the time I am finished with this post, you will see what an eerie similarity these two trips (which took place 15 years apart) have in common.

15 Years Ago, Las Vegas

After a long day of sightseeing in the rental van, and having lunch at Hard Rock Cafe, I (along with my parents) returned to the hotel.

Yesterday, Gatlinburg

After a long ride of sightseeing in Gatlinburg's Ober sky tram, we decided to stop at the top of the mountain for more fun before heading to Hard Rock Cafe for dinner.

15 Years Ago, Las Vegas

I started to feel a little nauseous upon arriving back at the hotel. Thankfully, my parents dropped me off at the front door before parking the rental van.

Yesterday, Gatlinburg

Macy started feeling a litle nauseous upon arriving at the top of the mountain. Unknown to me and Jeremy, we toted Macy around in her stroller for more sightseeing and fun.

15 Years Ago, Las Vegas

Heading into the casino, walking in a high traffic area, I decided there was no better time than that moment to lose my lunch. Right there...in front of everyone! Not wanting to get vomit all over that beautiful MGM Grand Hotel floor, I decided to open my coat, aim my mouth inside, and let it rip!

Yesterday, Gatlinburg

Heading toward the Black Bear Habitat, walking through the gateway, Macy decided there was no better time than that moment to lose her lunch. Right there....in front of everyone. Not caring where it went, she projective vomited. Most of it landed on the floor in front of her. But since Macy is very skilled at vomiting, she managed to still get a good amount between her two shirts!

15 Years Ago, Las Vegas

Deciding the room was too far away, I headed straight to the restroom, leaving a trail of you know what as I ran at top speed!

Yesterday, Gatlinburg

Deciding too many people had to walk through that gateway, we borrowed some papertowels from the ticket counter, and quick-cleaned the floor. Then we took off at top speed heading for the nearest restroom, leaving a trail of pediasure-stink smell!

15 Years Ago, Las Vegas

While my mother and brother frantically searched for me through the hotel, I washed and washed and washed and washed, and dried and dried and dried and dried, in the casino restroom. Ohhh did I stink!

Yesterday, Gatlinburg

While I took the stroller into the ladies restroom (which lacked any soap, but had a drier), Jeremy took Macy into the mens restroom (which lacked a drier, but had soap). We washed and washed and washed and washed and washed, and dried and dried and dried and dried, in the mountain-top restrooms. Ohhh did we all stink!

15 Years Ago, Las Vegas

With stink on my clothes, stink on my hands, and stink surrounding me, I headed to the elevator, where I proceeded to ride floor after floor with people surrounding me, wondering what in the world that horrid smell was, and what on earth I had all over my clothes. I was mortified!

Yesterday, Gatlinburg

With stink on Macy's clothes, Jeremy and my hands, and stink surrounding the stroller, we headed through the bear exhibit (not wanting to miss out), and then back to the tram. We proceeded to ride all the way down the mountain with people surrounding us. Fortunately I think we got things cleaned up enough, and cornered ourselves away from everyone else (remember, I've had practice at this sort of thing), that no one even noticed the stink surrounding us. I still couldn't help but be completely paranoid!

Nothing says vacation like a little motion sickness!!!!

Stay tuned this week for more pictures from our trip to Gatlinburg!

Other than our vomit fest, we had a great trip!
