It's just the two of us, my husband and me, giddy with happiness, drunk on sunshine, ecstatic to be on a grown up trip to Vegas!
And because we are like, totally awesome, we don't just stay on the Strip and gamble....we do a lot of that of course, but we love to drive and explore....
Which is how we ended up at a "divorce ranch" over run with peacocks.....
On top of the Stratosphere, looking down on the Strip.....
At a petting zoo/fake ghost town.....
Red Rock Canyon and a really nice scenic byway.......
Fremont with it's covered street (covered with a giant TV screen).......
But without stopping at Fremont, we wouldn't have known the End Of The World is almost here....
Hoover Dam and all it's Dam tourist and Dam things to look at.....
A Historic Marker that marks the place where an old guy died a long time ago from thirst....
And a drive through a Valley Of Fire.......
With our very first side trip, we started grinning. We agree. We are dorks! But dorks who love to take the side road, to see something out of the way, to think that was very interesting.....
We were renewed, refreshed and revitalized. Our vacation was just what a couple who has been together for 20 years needs.....time away to reinforce that we are totally perfect together.
And we won $700 doing the usual Vegas thing. It was a very good trip!
