We had an incredible visit to Las Vegas, staying with daughter Katy, seeing the sights, going to medical and dental appointments. Mid month, we flew to Sacramento and spent 4 wonderful days visiting my sister, Kathie and husband, Charlie and catching up with her family. When we returned to Vegas, my daughter, Rikka and her boyfriend, Joseph flew down from Seattle to celebrate her birthday with us. For our last week, we checked into our timeshare exchange at the Carriage House, just off the strip.
We went to see Carrot Top at the Luxor and were surprised at how funny he was. We enjoyed daily strolls on the walking path.
Ice Age Fossils State Park, north of Vegas, recently opened.
We saw the magic of Jen Kramer at the Westgate Hotel and made a new friend, Daniel.
The new Durango Hotel on the west side has lots of dining choices and a fun pool area.
Mother’s Day was a blast starting with mini golf at the new Popstroke, followed by burgers at In-N-Out.
Happy Mom’s Day!!!
We took off for Sacramento and had a lovely Airbnb room in Elk Grove, located conveniently right between my sister, Kathie and my niece, Ashley and her family.
We drove to Stockton on one day and met with a longtime friend, Monica for lunch at a greek restaurant. Flaming saganaki above at Papapavlov’s.
Great to see my sister again.

Ashley and her 3 kiddos.

Sacramento Zoo is always a fun walking experience. Thanks to Kathie for treating us and we got to see niece, Catey as well. We met up with cousin Gary in Loomis, CA for a delightful lunch at the High Hands Cafe. We finished Sacramento with a visit to Old Sacramento.
Charlie really enjoys the animals.
Cousin Gary Mcknight came down to meet us for lunch at the High Hands Cafe in Loomis, California.
We got back to Vegas to connect with my daughter, Rikka and her boyfriend, Joseph, to celebrate her birthday. We had a lovely birthday dinner at Diablo’s in the Luxor (below). We spent a wonderful day trip in Boulder City.
We had to show Joseph the bighorn sheep at Hemenway Park and man were they close today.
The Bellagio Conservatory is always a wondrous sight.
18-hole indoor Mini golf at the Twilight Zone course at the Horseshoe Hotel: a total kick if you’re a TZ fan, and only $12.00!!
Our home on the strip just down from the Miracle Mile Shops, and a glass of sangria at House of Blues where the BBQ ribs did not dissappoint!
It was an amazingly rewarding trip, seeing family and friends, enjoying the low humidity (compared to Panama), taking advantage of entertainment options and experiencing the luxury of having real stores like Walmart and Albertsons, and Amazon delivery!
Next stop…. Home sweet home, Panama
