LEAVING LAS VEGAS

Today we are getting ready to end our Las Vegas visit. Tomorrow morning we head to Bullhead City, AZ where we will spend the 4th of July holiday. We have enjoyed our visit in Las Vegas but are tired of the extreme heat. Yesterday it was 112 degrees at 3:00PM. Mom even checked the temperature of the cold water coming out of the faucet and it was 125 degrees. We stayed inside alot. I did meet and play with my rat terrier friend Cody. Mom and Dad did a lot while we were here. Mom was good at finding perks from the casinos by getting players club cards. Mom and Dad saw shows at Planet Hollywood, Hooters Casino and Hotel and Circus Circus that didn't cost anything because of the perks Mom got. At Hooters, where they saw the Mentalist, Dad even got called up on stage to be "the bag guy". That was the most enjoyable show. Mom even got perks for free meals. Between the meals and shows, Mom figures they got more than $600.00 in free stuff. Leave it to Mom to find the deals!

VIVA LAS VEGAS

Hello from Las Vegas. As you can see from one of the pictures, I am really enjoying my visit here. Tonight, we went to Fremont Street to experience the original Las Vegas nightlife. They put on a spectacular light and music show at night. There were lots of street performers including an Elvis impersonator. It has been rather toasty since we arrived. Everyday so far it has gotten up to at least 107. I stay in the air condtioning as much as possible. Mom and Dad went to one casino and Dad managed to lose $21.00 so there goes my chances of getting some gourmet dog food.

Dinosaurs

Well, folks we had us a little (BIG to some people) problem here in Utah. It seems that the folks couldn't find any interesting grave sites where we are staying so needless to say Mom was a little upset. I told her we could go to the Dinosaur Discovery Site and visit the Dinosaurs (there were only tracks on view). I told her that they were famous and they were dead. This seemed to satisfy her, hence the picture of me with a dinosaur footprint. It was a very interesting place. They bought me a dinosaur stuffed animal that is real cute.
We got up this morning and the mountain top across the interstate from our camp site was covered in snow. It looked so pretty but it also looked cold. This is all for now, I have to go help Dad with a few chores Mom has cooked up for him. Next we will be in LasVegas, I can't wait.

Hello From Utah

Hello everyone. We are now in Hurricane, Utah, in the Southwestern area of the state, near Zion National Park. Today marks the end of the 20th month that we have been fulltime RVers. In that 20 months, we have visited 36 States and 5 Canadian Provinces. RVing is a great lifestyle, meeting new friends and playmates at every stop.

Today we rode the trike through the Virgin River Gorge. What an awesome ride. We now know what they mean by "America The Beautiful". This area has some fantastic natural beauty. We will be going to the Dinosaur Farm to see the dinosaur footprints, Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon.

Happy travels!

Fun In Arizona

Hi everyone from sunny Arizona. At least today is sunny. The past two days have been wet and cold. We are really enjoying our time here in Verde Valley. I have made a lot of new friends and am enjoying playing with them. We have even met up with some people Mom used to work with in Florida. It definitely is a small world.

Yesterday we went to Phoenix to spend time with Mom and Dad's youngest son Trevor, who was is in town for a few days. Trevor gave Dad an early father's day gift of a GPS unit. So now maybe Dad won't get us so lost all of the time.

Today we visited Montezuma's Castle National Monument with our friends, Ron and Fran. This "castle" is a cliff dwelling, dating back to the 1200's, inhabited by the Sinagua people. Even though it is called Montezuma's castle, Montezuma was never here. It was given its' name by US soldiers returning from Mexico. The picture on the left is Mom and me in front of the "castle".

We then headed for Sedona to view all the beautiful red rock formations. The picture on the right is me and Dad in front of one. These are truly awesome sights.

We are now into our last week in Arizona. Next Friday, we head off to Utah.

The GRAND CANYON..... We Made It

Today, May 14th, we headed out to the Grand Canyon. On the way, Mom and Dad stopped to let me play in the snow that fell yesterday. That was so cool! I really enjoyed running in that cold white stuff. We made it to the Canyon without any problems. It was quite crowded there with all of us tourists. Thank goodness for Mom's Golden Access Pass, we didn't have to pay the $25 entry fee. The canyon is spectacular! It is an awesome sight to behold.....

Grand Canyon Visit......Postponed

We were planning to go to the Grand Canyon today but have had to postpone it. We woke up to rain in Verde Valley. In checking the weather reports, we found that Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon had 3 inches of snow overnight, with 5 more inches expected this morning. We will wait to visit the Canyon after the snow melts. Its hard to believe its snowing on May13th.

Yesterday, we did visit Oak Tree Canyon and Sedona. The red rock formations near Sedona are beautiful.

Take care and stay warm.
