Thanksgiving Travels with Bruce

Hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving.  

Before we left Vegas, we took a tour via the monorail service.  They are just wonderful.  Clean, quiet, fast and time saving.  Saw replicas of the Statue of Liberty, the Eiffel Tower,  MGM's Gold Lion, the Brooklyn Bridge the Luxor Pyramid, Stratosphere and much, much more.  Bruce was in photographers heaven.  We were going to gamble $20 but after Bruce lost $5 in the first few minutes and I won $11+ in as many, we lost interest.  No wonder I'm called the black cat in Vegas.  The casinos will never get rich on us.  We came for family and won really big time!!!! 

Sunday morning we left for Oregon via Bishop, The Sierra Nevada Mountains, and Death Valley.  Not necessarily in that order.  Then on the fast I-5 the rest of the way.  Death Valley is a strange, unusual,  almost eerie place.  I'd love to see it when the wildflowers are in bloom in Spring.  It's not a place to put on our annual vacation list tho'.  We saw maybe six cars until we reach the hiway 50.  Traffic was never heavy on the whole trip.  All in all, a beautiful, leisurely ride.    

Got to Larry and Clara's (Putlitz) Tuesday afternoon. We hugged, laughed, visited....all the usual family stuff that makes holidays so special.  Got home on Saturday and crashed!!!!  We had the most enjoyable and leisurely Thanksgiving trip ever.  

Love and God bless.
