We have a lot of work to do… better go and get started!   

 

Goodbye Mazda, hello ?

 

Yesterday it was time to say goodbye to my faithful Mazda 3. Yay, no more manual driving in the foreseen future! We’ll probably stay carless for a couple months (weeks?) while we spend some time searching for the “right” vehicle.

Viva Las Vegas

 

Last weekend Mike and I had the chance to go to Las Vegas. It was my first experience to sin city and it was definitely interesting! We arrived Friday and spent some time by the pool relaxing. Then we explored the Strip where the streets were packed with people. My favorite part of the strips were the fountains by the Bellagio Casino. They were awesome! Unfortunately we did not have our camera for the ‘show’.

Later that night we went in several casinos and signed up for the players club receiving free slot money. Now, slots are BORING, but we had free money so we spent it. The nicest casino with the best service was the Cosmopolitan, I think its pretty new. It was glitzy and gaudy but fun! 

 

     

Saturday night we saw Blue Man Group and had to sit in the splash zone. Cheaper tickets, and really, no fear of being splashed! Mike says they were “pretty good, not the best thing ever, but fun.”

 

     

Sunday we took off for the Hoover Dam. It’s only 25 minutes from Vegas and well worth the trip. We stopped in Boulder City at the Southwestern Cafe and had a delicious breakfast. I love finding cool little diners. The Hoover Dam was very impressive especially with the new bridge that connects Nevada to Arizona.
