Las Vegas and Home

 

We left Quartzsite around 9 on Sunday and had a nice leisurely drive to Vegas.  Our friends had given us the name of an RV park that was close to the freeway for easy off and on.  The GPS took us right to the spot without a hitch.  Was the typical park with the rigs slap dab together.  The positive was hook ups.  First time since we were in Quartzsite in December when Gary was sick.   

Whit and Rom (boyfriend) came over late that afternoon and took us out to dinner at the neighboring casino.  Had a great visit and we are impressed with Rom.  His parents were physicians in the Philippines,  but now that they are living in the United States are working as nurses in the hospital. 

• Monday Gary and I took off to get familiar with the city and hit a few hobby shops of course.  Also Rudy was out of dog food.  As we went a block down the road from the rv park, behold, another one more spacious and half the price.  Oh well next year we will be more savvy.  We were not too impressed with the city – just dry desert without much character.  Gorgeous buildings on the strip and then vacant lots next to them.

This was taken from Whit’s Moms condo.

Tuesday Whit came and we girls took off for the day to sight see and celebrate her birthday.  First off court house to take care of a ticket.  As we went thru the security area, I set the alarm off.  A rather  severe looking gentlemen asked me over to do the hand wan. Whit promptly said “What did you do Grandma, forget to take your belly button ring out”  He cracked up and sent us on our way.  She certainly takes after her Aunt Tawni in the sass department.

We took in several casinos on the strip, The Venetian and the Plazzio.  Very elegant and expensive shops.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Had a nice lunch here and then off to see where she works.  Rom is also employed there and is going to school to become and Physical Therapy Tech.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Whit is doing Mary Kay with her Mom so back to her condo for a meeting that evening.  Whit was recognized for her sales for the quarter.

It was so nice to be with her and be able to have a picture in my mind when we talk about things she is doing.

Left the next morning for home.  We stayed just outside of Reno and woke up to snow on all the hills around.  Had not planned to drive more than 6 hours, but with the threat of snow we did the 12 hour drive home from Reno.  Had snow flurries, but the roads were not bad.

Very good to be home.  Things were fine and the yard looked great thanks to our neighbor.

We are so grateful for this 5 months of rest and relaxation.  God has truly blessed us big.
