  • Long and Winding Roads

    This post covers two day trips from Vegas into the red rocks. One was near and one was far, but both were absolutely fantastic! Buckle up!

  • Spillways and Slot Machines

    Visits to Hoover Dam and Lake Mead, people-watching and drinks on the strip, and a little “Mystère” made this Las Vegas stop great fun!

  • Red Rocks to Sin City

    In this post we left Sedona for six more nights back in Peoria, then on to Las Vegas. And you know us – we always take the scenic route!

    With 3 overnights from TX to AZ, we stopped in Carlsbad, Bisbee, Tombstone, and the magnificent St. Anthony’s Greek Orthodox Monastery.
