We took a beautiful bike ride in Las Vegas through Red Rock Canyon on the wrong day. It had all the ingredients for disaster, and we retreated not even halfway into the ride because it wasn’t fun anymore. I have wanted to ride bikes through Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area since November 2018. It […]

Still in Las Vegas at Nellis Air Force Base. We have not been here since Ground Hog Day, but rather every day feels like Ground Hog Day, same day — different date. Just like the entire world, we are still hiding from the virus. We are grateful that we had a place to stay during

After Death Valley, I planned our route to be in Las Vegas for Tami’s birthday. I started planning her birthday party three months ago, getting the plan in order. The plan was to meet at her brother’s house on Tami’s birthday. Going to your brother’s house on your birthday doesn’t make for a surprise party.

Vegas — Baby Traveling to Las Vegas along the Colorado River was just what we needed. We just arrived in Vegas after spending the week in Laughlin/Bullhead City. Not much to see there. The big view was the casinos in Laughlin. It was very windy — most of the time. We did go to Oatman
