Last week Susan and I travelled to Las Vegas to celebrate Charlie's 70th Birthday.
It was a nice opportunity to visit with family, however it seems there is never enough time to do all the catching up.
Most of my time was spent off the strip with Peter, while Susan spent her time visiting with the girls. Peter, Juliana and I spent one full day paddling the Colorado River from the Hoover Dam down, a total of around 20 miles in a mixed current and flat water trip. Very dramatic scenery in the river valley, a couple hundred feet down below the desert floor, and hot, very hot. We could have spent days exploring the caves and box canyons along the river, but we stopped only three or four times in a very rushed fashion. Some interesting Indian artifacts along the way as well. We really just scratched the surface.
The next day was spent exploring the Red Rocks National Conservation Area with Peter then walking the strip with Susan to see some of the new stuff since we had been there last.
It was good to see everybody, but not enough time.
