Long Weekend

We are back from our trip to Sandy, UT which is just south of Salt Lake. It is a 400 mile drive from Vegas with a change of climate and an hour lost. Here is Ken's son Tyson, his wife Liz and grandkids Emma, Danny, Tori and Truman. I almost didn't get a photo of them together, this was taken as they were saying goodbye.

They live just minutes away from a ski area, Ken and I took a little drive up to see Cottonwood Canyon and I believe the ski area was Snowbowl. (I mean minutes we were gone 45 min. and we stopped to take several pics.)

On the way back, Sunday, we took a short side trip to the Kolob Canyons part of Zion NP.

We got back around 5 to check on the cats, they were fine and to change clothes to head back out to see Spamalot at the Wynn on the strip.

It took only 40 mins to get to the Wynn, most of that was heavy traffic on the strip. We had about 2 hours to look around, grab a bite and put a couple of dollars in the slots. We decided to have dessert at a little coffee shop, this was mine.

Then off to see John O'Hurley in Spamalot. We had balcony front row seats, very good! Ken bought me the souvenir Grail cup filled with frozen fruit and wine drink, mmm good.
We enjoyed the show!

After the show we walked around the Wynn, the Palazzo and the Venetian, Ken put a dollar in at each place, the Wynn had the better slots. This is inside the Wynn, sorry didn't get very good pic.

This is in the lobby of the Palazzo.

A pic of outside the Venetian.

A photo of the lights as we were driving home.

We had a full weekend and I am feeling better. I enjoyed getting to know the youngest grandkids, I had not seen them before. They call me grandma, it must be a little confusing as they have two grandma Julie's.

We have one more day here in Vegas, then we are on the road again. We are stopping in Williams, AZ for a couple of days, Ken has made reservations to ride the train to the Grand Canyon.

More then!
