Our ride was short today because we stopped at Great Wolf Lodge to have some water park fun.

Las Vegas Trip - Day 8

Las Vegas, NV to Grand Junction, CO. 530 miles
Sooooo... we are heading home...



Smiley boy saying goodbye to Las Vegas this morning.


A last view from our room on the 6th floor.


A view from outside of our building 



One last hotel lobby picture.


Had to have one casino picture.


Such beautiful scenery all day long.
















Tonight on Main Street in Grand Junction.







Lots of sculptures. I know she isn’t supposed to be on the sculpture. No one listens to me.


We arrived pretty early in Grand Junction tonight, arrived to a room type we didn’t reserve. We barely had enough room with one bed and zero floor space for the mattresses I travel with. We spent about an hour tonight trying to figure the best sleeping arrangement, when the front desk guy Ed..  “from the front desk” called to say he did find a different room for us... so we packed up everything and found our new room.



This!!!!  Woot woot!
I think we will sleep ok after all. Good night!
