Exiting Las Vegas
Last night was busy enough for me to miss posting ... something I hope will be an increasingly rare event. Brett and I went out in the morning to find him a new cell phone since his never recovered from jetskiing. But we spent most of the day working. Yes, it was a beautiful holiday weekend but we spent Sunday at our laptops. That's how it goes in the self-employed/traveling mode. We had to pay for playing golf on Friday and jetskiing on Saturday.
But no trip to Las Vegas is complete without losing some money, so while we had lunch at Sam's Town, we bought a Keno ticket for $10 (2 games). Guess what happened?
We lost
I dropped Brett off at the airport and picked up Eleanor and Emma two hours later. Then it was back to work while Eleanor unpacked and settled back in. This morning we are prepping for continued travel --laundry, more work, cleaning, culling out stuff we don't need, packing in a few new things picked up recently.
The plan is to head to Death Valley for a couple of nights. It should not be horribly hot according to the weather forecast -- in fact, today the high is projected only in the 80s, which is less than we had in Zion and here in Las Vegas last week.
We may not be able to get online while we are there. If so, I'll put up some further entries ASAP. Hope you had a good long weekend!

You might want to check the weather for Death Valley again. We are supposed to get the hottest weather of the year this week in SoCal.
