Some of the pics. The group of ladies is at my mom's bday celebration. Mom is wearing red, wife is in blue, and the rest are sis-in-laws or niece.
Finally getting back to the swing of things here at my home. Takes me a bit to get settled, what with laundry and unpacking, while mixing in a day of work.
Left Wednesday for Laughlin, NV, to stay at the Harrah's there. Always hear how much better they are, and wanted to check them out. It's on the Colorado River, so it was nice to be by water. Friendly people, and the best thing is a water taxi that will take you from one casino to the next, all day if you buy the proper ticket. Stayed 2 nights, then off to Flagstaff, AZ.
On the way to Flagstaff, I went through a little blip of a town called Oatman, AZ, as they have wild burros walking the streets. I was even able to feed them, though once they knew I had food, I was surrounded. Not much else to see, and the drive out of town is winds down some fun road. Get to Flagstaff, and have some great pizza for that night. Oh, and while driving there, visited a drive-through zoo called Bearizona. That was fun, having bison stare through your car window.
Drive down to Scottsdale, check in, and get ready for Mom's birthday celebration. She didn't know I was coming, and when I walked up behind her, I said "you let just anyone crash your party". She turns, and was quite surprised. Saw my 3 brothers, and lots of friends and family, and have a great time.
Next day, drive to Gallup, NM, as I'd never been to New Mexico. That was a joke, as the room was very dirty, and I didn't sleep well. Oh well, it was just for the night, as I get an early start to Las Vegas.
Oh, Vegas. Out and about, dine at Capo's (most excellent Italian food.... I was in a food coma for the next 6 hours), Fremont Street, Bellagio waters, shopping, walking, Graceland Museum, and then, after 2 nights, the drive home.
