Viva Las Vegas Part II

Continuing on our weekend trip, we decided to take the strip by foot. There is SO much to see on the strip that we couldn't possibly see it all. We focused mainly on the area of the Bellagio, Caesars Palace, The Mirage, Paris, The Flamingo and the other surrounding attractions.

Viva Las Vegas

We spent the Presidents Day holiday in Las Vegas. We made the 6hr drive down Interstate 15 which leads right into the north side of Las Vegas. We got off the highway and drove down Las Vegas Blvd from the north end all the way down to the Las Vegas sign.

The first night there we spent on Fremont Street. So many lights that the senses can go into overload without warning.

Visit to Kolob Canyon - Zion National Park

On a recent trip south to Las Vegas, we made a side trip into the Zion National Park just north of St. George, UT. The area is called Kolob Canyon and although it's just a very small portion of the entire park, it was still breathtaking.

This spring we're planning a weekend trip into the park again but focusing on the north east part of the park called Arches.

Clay Makes the Local News!!

If you haven't heard, we've just been pummeled with snow since the end of December. We have huge piles of snow in the yard. While making a trip to the local grocery store, I got stopped by Fox 13 News, the local Salt Lake City news station and was asked what I thought about the snow. Here's the clip. (Michelle isn't really yelling at me about the snow... she loves it as much as I do. Well, almost as much) ;)

Medals in hand.

Once again, Kendall and I ran the P.F. Chang Rock 'n Roll 1/2 Marathon. This year Clay did not come with, so all the picture where taken by Kendall and I as we ran. We had lots of fun... Next stop Phili 10 miler 3 May, then San Francisco to run the bridge on 3 Aug and finishing up the year with the Army 10-miler in Oct... Any one interested?

Michelle and I Go Our Separate Ways....

Now don't panic.. it's not as bad as it sounds. She's going to Phoenix this Thursday to run the PF Chang's Rock n Roll Marathon and this year I'm taking the opportunity to head to San Francisco... Macworld 2008!!

I know I know... it's my job to follow the girls through the race and take pictures. But honestly, how many pictures can I take of them running through the same streets of Phoenix time and time again. No disrespect but I need to find them a new city to run in. Hmmm... San Diego??.. no.. HAWAII!!

So wish Michelle and Kendall "Good Luck". I'm sure they'll do great even without me to be their SAG vehicle and chauffeur. :) Me? I'm headed to an exciting place with all my mac geek buddies. I'll hit Chinatown, take a trolley ride and maybe see if I can crawl out of the same hole that Clint Eastwood did in Escape from Alcatraz. :)
