VIVA LAS VEGAS! DAY 7, 8 AND 9

We (Bill included) have arrived in Las Vegas and I've been too busy playing the slots to blog. Only kidding. The real reason that I didn't blog last night was because they charge $14/day for internet access. So, I figured I would buy the internet access every few days and put the money saved into the slots. Sounds like a plan to me. To catch up...... We got to Vegas Wednesday afternoon and then had dinner, walked the strip and then played the slots at our hotel, Bally's. Thursday afternoon we walked over to Bellagio to see the Conservatory, lobby Chihuly glass ceiling and the fountain show. Thursday night the Jersey Boys show which was terrific. Friday, more walking and more gambling. For more pictures, please see the slideshow to the right which can be clicked on to see larger pictures. I'll be adding more tonight.

OVER THE EDGE - DAY 5

Left Sedona and drove north through the very scenic Oak Creek Canyon and then on to the Grand Canyon's South Rim. My pictures do not do the Grand Canyon justice - it has to be seen in person. When we left the Park tonight at dusk there were elk all over the place. We will be seeing more of the Grand Canyon tomorrow.

THE RED ROCKS OF SEDONA - DAY 4

Left Phoenix and headed north toward Sedona, Arizona where we will be staying the night. Made a quick stop on the way at Montezuma Castle. What a breath-taking view as you drive into Sedona and see those rocks ahead of you. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

STILL IN PHOENIX - DAY 3

I was feeling a little under the weather this morning so I decided not to go with Marilyn and Bill to see their friends in Sun City West. This afternoon I rallied and took the bus to the Arrowhead Mall for a little shopping.

TALIESIN WEST - DAY 2

Today we met Kim and Joe (my cousin Harold's daughter and her husband) and toured Frank Lloyd Wright's Desert Masterpiece Taliesin West in Scottsdale, Arizona. The temperature today reached 101 degrees - even with no humidity it's still HOT. A wonderful dinner tonight at Morton's Steakhouse. Thanks Kim and Joe for a great day!
