Winter Trip 2020 #8













We have been in Las Vegas, NV for a week now. We have had a wonderful time so far. For all of our snow bound friends and relatives, I hate to tell you but the weather here has been wonderful. We are enjoying it so much. We had rain one day but that didn't put a damper on our activities. The first thing we did was meet up with David's girlfriend, Audria, (3rd pic) and had lunch. David had sent Audria an RV part that we needed. It was our first time meeting Audria. She is a wonderful girl and we really enjoyed meeting her. We also had a nice visit with my neice, Shaunna, and her son, Jordan (4th pic). We went to dinner at one of her and Jordan's favorite restaurant, Mimi's Cafe. We couldn't believe how much Jordan has grown. He's almost as tall as his mother at 12 1/2! They will be coming over to the RV for dinner this week and we hope to play some games; we are really looking forward to their visit. We've been to two shows; KA and a tribute to Prince called Purple Reign. Both were excellent. KA is a Cirque du Soleil production at the MGM. Audria was so gracious and surprised us by making arrangements for us to see it. It was a fantastic production. Purple Reign was held at the Hooters Casino. Believe it or not, it was an 11:00 pm show (way past Jim's bedtime) but he was a good guy and agreed to go with me to see it. We got there early (9:00pm) to be sure and get our tickets and then the show didn't start til about 11:30pm. But once it started it was so good even Jim had a good time. We've been doing a little gambling but haven't won anything substantial (duh!) but we haven't lost very much either. We have been going to $1 Blackjack tables and have been able to play for several hours and still break even, so we're pretty proud of ourselves!! Jim's brother, Mason, and his wife Judy are coming in later this week. We're looking forward to showing them around. Our next stop after Vegas is San Jose, CA to visit our aunt and cousins.
