New flower print bag and our weekend trip

Using my favorite floral fabric, I recently sewed this bag for myself.   This navy floral print is a discontinued fabric that I purchased a while a go for about a $3/yard at a discount fabric store.  It sure was a bargain!

And I made this bag right before we left for our family trip over the weekend.  I like to sew myself a new bag before going on a trip, because the new travelling bag simply adds more fun to the trip.

 

The bag is reversible, and for the other side (reversible side), I used navy/polka dots fabric. 

Attached on the side of the bag is a small tab with a D ring to hang my keys.

So, our girls' school is on spring break right now, and we took a short family trip over the weekend.   We packed up and jumped on to our minivan and drove off for several hours to the destination...

 During our trip, we saw the Eiffel Tower...

And the Arch of Triumph ...

We even visited Sphinx and the pyramid...!

And the medieval castles...

Oh, the beautiful waterfalls...

So, where did we go? 

Yes! We drove off to  Las Vegas, Nevada, and enjoyed a family getaway.   I didn't really gamble this time but we sure had a good time at the "sin city"!!  It's  no secret that I used to gamble hard when I was childless...but I'm trying to take a break in gambling right now while I'm raising two young kids... See, sometimes it takes a self discipline when you're a mom : P

Viva, Las Vegas!  And I hope I can go back there soon ;)
