Vegas baby!

Sometimes a bear just needs to let loose, so Mini Bear recently headed to Las Vegas with a couple of new buddies we met in Antarctica.

You must look your best in Vegas at all times, so Mini Bear took her time going through our friend's extensive wardrobe to find the perfect outfit. In the end, she settled on a blue skirt, maple leaf top, and green scarf for a truly stunning ensemble.

Mini Bear enjoyed the local arts scene by watching a spray paint artist in action.

No passport necessary to simulate Europe! Mini Bear made a wish at the Cesar's Palace Trevi Fountain and dined on fabulous crepes at La Creperie at the Paris Las Vegas.

We had fantastic seats at the Mirage to see The Beatles LOVE Cirque du Soleil show. The music was energetic and loud while the choreography and performers were beyond anything I could have imagined!

Inevitably, Mini Bear learned about the birds and the bees while walking down the strip.

On our last morning, Mini Bear headed downtown to see the famous neon signs of yesteryear.

Mini Bear took one last drive down the strip before hearing our friend give a talk at a nearby high school about the great experiences of traveling with People to People International.

(That's our friend on stage in the blue shirt.)

We didn't take any pictures of Mini Bear's gambling winnings because she doesn't want everyone hitting her up to borrow money from all of her new found riches. All we'll say is that the money she won sure did jingle in her pockets!
