LAS VEGAS IN DAD'S NEW VAN






Well, it seems we all decided to give Dad's new van a trial run. At first we thought we might try Mexico. However Yogi, our dog, didn't have proper papers for reentering the country. So Dad suggested Las Vegas. He hadn't been there for over 30 years. We went on Wednesday morning and returned Friday afternoon. It is about a four and half hour drive. Ron did all the driving. I guess he just wanted to. Dad and I both offered to do some.

We showed Dad about as much as he could take. It was a bit overwhelming I think. There is a lot of walking involved even though we did use some trams, people movers, skyways, and even a taxi once. We camped at Circus Circus for two nights. Everything worked perfectly with his van.

On Thursday we visited New York New York, Mandalay Bay, and the Luxor. I made sure he rode on the inclinator (that's an elevator that rises on an angle) in the Luxor. We missed many places, but also saw a lot. That's Vegas for you. Thursday evening after wine at the campsite Dad decided to rest. Ron and I went to check out Wynn's, the newest hotel. We also watched the Siren show at Treasure Island.

Friday morning we headed home and we are now back at Outdoor Resorts.
