And the rest of the vacation !!!

Want to share a little of the sister trip to Vegas, we flew out of Cleveland on Mon the 27th. a 4 hr flight to Vegas. This was the first time we have planned a long trip like this together. We have been living in different areas for many years. I have been in Texas since 1975, about that time Mary the youngest joined the Army and was in Germany for many years. Maxine lived and worked in Va and Ct, she and her husband are retired and travel the country in their motor home. Kathy stayed in Holmes County, she and her husband own a business their and are actively involved in the community. This trip was in the planning for several months. Mary and I had never been to Vegas before, so we were excited. We stayed at the MGM Grand, Kathy and I shared a room, Maxine and Mary were next door. We walked and walked, it was very hot !! , o. Each hotel has a different theme and many have free shows, Dancing Waters at Bellagio, Feed the Lions at MGM, the Volcano at the Mirage to name a few. We took lots of pictures and ate at several really nice restaurants. They serve so much food that we split meals and of course had to have desert. We visited the M&M store, it had more shoppers than any other place we went, 4 floors of M&M, products. Saw Bette Midler and a 50-60's show of songs from The Platters, The Coaster, and The Marvelettes. We rented a car on Saturday and drove to the West Rim of the Grand Canyon, it was an awesome sight !! We also stopped at Hoover Dam on the way back. The lights on the Strip are as fabulous as everyone said, we proved you can go to Vegas, and have a GREAT time without losing all your money in the slots and drinking yourself sick. Overall I rate it as a wonderful time spent with my sisters and we are still speaking to each other and thinking about where can we go next year ?? Once again I thank God for providing the resources for me to go and my husband for being such a good sport to encourage me on my adventures. Check my FB site for pictures. Until next time,"Keep Your Eyes On Jesus !!"
