Well, we made it safe and sound to Las Vegas baby! The temperatures have been really great compared to the north but today was surprisingly chilly. We headed out today on a helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon, went to a dude ranch (too funny!), and saw the Hoover dam. It was a fun trip and we got some neat pics but on the way back we got stuck in a line-up to cross back over the dam with literally hundreds of cars ahead of us. For two and a half hours we sat in the line-up just inching along so, needless to say, I'm getting a bit travelled out. Tomorrow we'll head out for some shopping and then Friday night do a late Christmas with the fam. Should be fun
After we finish up here I have to get back to Winnipeg and pick up Oliver who, as it turns out, had a serious liver fungus and had to be treated on IV antibiotics for 4 days. Good times....
Anyhow, here are some pics...
Happy holidays!
My sister Ashlyn, my brother-in-law Chris and I drinking something called The Borg Sphere at the Star Trek restaurant in the Hilton. We all also took in the Borg show and it was a hoot!
Off we go on a trail ride at the 'ranch' on a horse named Peddle that was on auto-pilot and refused to do anything I wanted her to do. Nice... And, to top it off we had to wear helmets which left us feeling a bit like someone there for therapy and not pleasure ;-)
Our wagon and driver (who had about as much energy as Peddle did) :-)
The Hoover Dam
My folks wandering around the Joshua Tree forest (but they aren't actually trees I found out - just plants)
The view at night (obviously) from the Mirage where we stayed - holy lights!!
The volcano/water show featured nightly at the Mirage - corny but cool to see
When in Vegas baby!!!
Freemont Street and the popular overhead show put on every hour - pretty cool
Some quiet time just enjoying the tree we bought and decorated
