Oct 25-Nov 8 Las Vegas NV

We left Death Valley and made our way to Las Vegas NV. For 3 days we stayed at Desert Eagle RV Campground at Nellis Air Force Base.

After that we rented two different homes in Las Vegas so Brian and Holly could join J, Ray and I (and later, our friend Gloria) for a mini-reunion.


The only strip activities some of us did were shows: Jabbawockeez and Rod Stewart. Otherwise we were relaxing at our rental or visiting the natural wonders around Las Vegas.

We visited the Valley of Fire,


wandering around some interesting rock formations like the Beehive below


and seeing some petroglyphs.


We also visited Ethel M’s (chocolate factory) and their cactus garden.


On other outings we watched planes land at the airport,


fed geese at Floyd Lamb Park (once a divorce resort),



toured Spring Mountain Ranch State Park where the Mountain Man Rendezvous was being held,



and drove to Red Rock Canyon stopping to walk among the rocks and see local burros.




Lots of family fun.
