Next stop...Las Vegas
We made a pit stop here for a number of reason...
to break up our drive between Fresno to Lake Powell
take in the craziness of Vegas, amazing how much it's grown in 13 years
and to check out the town
After Brazil we hope to get back west and Vegas is
one of the many landing spots we could go to
Stop on the way into town to admire the 7 Magic Mountains
We also did a lot of melting in the sun
Bellagio Hotel is amazing
Beautiful flower display and the dancing fountains were incredible
One of Gwen's favorite singers in the whole world is Celine Dion
Sadly the one night we were in town she was on tour in Asia
That aside as we were pulling into the city there was a giant billboard with her picture on it
As it came into view Gwen with giant eyes said, "she's so beautiful"
It made us all laugh
Had to drive past the hotel that I used to stay at with my grandparents
We wouldn't even stay in the hotel, just used the motor home overnight parking
and enjoyed the buffet and carnival games
Whatever money Grandpa made off the quarter slots he would let us spend on games
Next morning Rob took the big girls to the Las Vegas temple and then we loaded up
This day was a long driving day and we added a few hours onto it
I just couldn't bring myself to be so close to the Grand Canyon and not stop for a look
This beauty did not disappoint
My little rock hoppers
