Las Vegas is really hot!

We got into Vegas just at rush hour today. On our way we went over the new bridge at Hoover Dam. It's pretty cool but the route over the actual dam is pretty cool, too. I think I like the dam crossing way better. We stayed at the Main Street Station downtown - in their RV park. Which is a parking lot - asphalt. We like being downtown where everything is close and you can walk to several casinos. We stayed in the Moho during the day watching movies and trying to stay cool. It was 104 and 106 the days we were there. We only went out at night. Like vampires! As always, you see some very interesting things in Vegas! At around 2:00 a.m. we saw a couple of the Smurfs walking hand in hand down Fremont St. In full costume. I think they may have been a little drunk. They were weaving slightly. When we leave Vegas on Monday morning (at 6:00 a.m.) we are heading to Yosemite. Looking forward to some cooler temps!

Here we go!

I set up this blog over a year ago. Before we left on our trip to Washington DC to volunteer at the US Open Mens golf tournament in June.  When I should have and could have posted about everything we saw at Niagara Falls, New York City and DC.  The Yeungling Brewery in Pennsylvania and the lobster in Maine.  And the beauty of the Great Smokey Mountains!  But I never took the time to sit still and write about it.  I realize this blog (if I actually keep up with it) is going to take time and commitment and thought.  Will I do it?  I guess we'll see!
