What is up with this weather?
It's freezing cold! Blizzards in West Texas? It's almost April.
I had a great time on my visit with Mike and our trip to Las Vegas. On Friday of my visit, Mike had something he had to get out at work, so I explored down town San Diego. After many instructions on how to ride the trolley, I of course still got on the wrong one... but it worked out! I realized it before it was too late, got off about a mile or so from where I meant to go, and walked along the PCH and Harbor Blvd back to where I was supposed to be. San Diego must be revitalizing down there - lots of cool stuff to see! I started down the "Greatest Generatioin Walk" on a gorgeous day...
Saw the USS MIDWAY museum, but didn't go in... it's on my to do list for the next visit.
Lots of Pearl Harbor and WWII memorials:
That famous photo is now a 20 foot statue:
There is a wonderful Bob Hope Tribute in bronze statues, called A National Salute to Bob Hope and the Military - read about it at this web site.
Then I finally found my way to Seaport Village, a great shopping and dining area on the San Diego Bay.
San Diego is just plain gorgeous.
We had a lot of fun in Vegas, too. It was really cold there as well - and it even rained one day! We had a great view from our room at Bally's:
Our main event was to see the show Jersey Boys at the Palazzo, a new hotel by the Venetian. It was great! It is the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. It was one of those "Oh yeah, they sang that song..." things.
Mike managed to win some dough on a slot machine down town, so we had dinner at the Top of the Stratosphere. Food was okay, but the view is AWESOME!
Next up? K E Y W E S T ! ! !
