When we left Seattle it was drizzling and when we landed in Vegas I immediately changed into shorts bedcause it was 112!! I love the dry heat but this was intense. The first night we were there they had high desert winds blowing through and it felt so nice, even if it did feel like I had a hairdryer blowing on me 24/7. The next couple of days were much cooler with temperatures in the high 90s.
Lake Las Vegas is about 30 minutes or so East of the Las Vegas Strip so we didn't have to deal with the throngs of people, which is what we were trying to avoid. The village is so nice because you basically unpack and you have all of your restaurants, recreation and lounging within waling distance from where you are staying. We were able to get out and swim, walk, and enjoy sights like the Hoover Dam. We had a great time listening to music in the park and eating wonderful dinners. My favoite part, though, was lounging by the pool and riding on the waterslide. What a blast! I felt like a kid again. :) I can't wait to go back!!
Wow! It sounds like a lot of fun. I am glad that you got to get away and have some fun, especially after how hard you worked in school over the summer. Hopefully it was just what you needed to rejuvenate you for the rest of the year. The pictures of Lake Las Vegas and the village are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWow, that looks great! What a nice way to vacation too. I can't believe how hot it was-112-you have to be kidding me! I'm glad that you got a mini-vaca and that it was fun.
ReplyDeleteBTW, love the pics-you take some great pics-and I loved the whole blow dryer thing-too funny, it made me smile!
