Time is Just Flying By
November 6 to November 10
I look at the calendar and try to remember what we did as I know we were busy. Ed did spend a lot of time working on the slide show and I did review all of the photos as I hadn’t seen them yet.
Colin, Margaret and Splash returned from Ontario late Monday evening so we toddled over to the hot tub to catch up. Another day Splash and Zaph along with their mommies headed to the leash free dog park — Zaph got right into chasing the ball where Splash spent a long time sniffing first. Margaret and I also did some power shopping at Big Lots (a discount store), the 99cent store and Suzies Deals (everything is $5.00 unless it’s 2 for $5.00) — what a blast. The last exciting thing was a trip to the strip one evening. The three country bumpkins (Ed, Colin; both with cameras hanging from from their necks, and Frances) drove down Tropicana Road and parked at the Tropicana Casino. We then wandered through the Excalibur, the Luxor and Mandalay Bay. The guys like the cocktail waitresses outfits at Mandalay Bay the best. These casinos make the ones on Freemont Street look small and dumpy (though I didn’t think they were). When we were in the Luxor we road the inclinator to the 24th floor so we could look down over the lobby. The Luxor is a giant pyramid so the higher you go the smaller the floors — pretty amazing.
The Luxor Casino at night. The lights outline the pyramid. We can see the light beaming from the top at the RV park.
Looking across the center opening of the Luxor from the 24th floor.
