Got behind blogging on the trip. In fact, didn’t touch computer for last two days — but did use smart phone. So here’s the trip recap:
We went everywhere between here and Las Vegas.
We went to a ton of Indian Trading posts including Fort Courage and Geromino. My favorite was Yellowhorse in New Mexico. Also make sure you stop at the scenic overlook at the Laguna Reservation on the other side of Albequerque. There are craftspeople there from the Reservation.
Went to a Stuckey’s and bought candied fruit slices (very good)
We went to Meteor Creator – it was neat, and we should be very afraid (seriously, that is their theme).
We stayed in Williams Arizona, we rode the train to the Grand Canyon and took the bus tour.
We drove through Hoover Dam and stopped a bunch.
In Las Vegas, we went to MGM, saw the lions, went to the M&M store, and the coke store.
Saw the Fab Live show, at Planet Hollywood and saw a thunderstorm IN the Miracle Mile of Shops.
We went to Margaretteville and to the Venetian.
I like nickel poker slots, triple Play – Game King
We stayed at Circus Circus – DON’T but it was free. Lots of screaming children, but we did finally find a parking space where we could avoid the casino.
We stayed at Winslow Arizona, and we went to the street corner (Eagles song).
We went to the Painted Desert/Petrified Forest National Park
We stopped at all of the World Best stuff. It wasn’t. Well, the salt water taffy at the World’s Best Fudge wasn’t bad.
I’m tired.
I did learn some interesting things about my husband.
He is extremely impatient in traffic. In fact, he is a horrible driver in traffic. I drove through Albequeque rush hour, which didn’t bother me a bit. My attitude in traffic is that there isn’t anything you can do about it, just sit back, relax, and focus on staying in your own lane. If you do that, everyone will get home.
He has no sense of direction. I don’t get that, as I alwas know where I am at. However, I do everything left handed which confuses him.
He hates screaming children more than I do. Well, actually I knew that.
We’re both also kind of selfish and really need our own quiet space daily. Which I never did get, he did.
