Las Vegas, Nevada

After Yosemite National Park we headed to Las Vegas.  Neil and I were not particularly interested in visiting Las Vegas but we had found a bicycle tour of the Grand Canyon that we thought we really wanted to do and this tour picked up from Vegas.  More on this tour in the next post.

But Las Vegas....  Stayed two nights at The Orleans.  Very nice motel/casino I guess.  We were so nonplussed with Vegas we didn't even venture out at night!

Apparently this pose is reference to an Xbox game!

 

 

 

Lots of pictures of fire trucks over the course of our travels :)

Yosemite National Park, California

Sure, we loved Disneyland and Seaworld.  But sorry, Disneyland was nothing compared to Yosemite.  As it's been so long since I started this post in draft I can now add that all the National Parks were beautiful.  We all took countless more photo's at our first NP than we had at Disneyland etc. We camped for two nights here in Yosemite.  Was supposed to be three nights but when we were told that Las Vegas would be at least a nine hour drive we decided to leave a day early.  We believe the temperature got down to 3 degrees on both nights.  We were all cold the first night but rugged up more for the second night.  I'm a bit freaked how we thought it was so cold when we have colder temperatures coming :)

Don't forget to click on each picture for a bigger version.

Saw the Hollywood sign from a distance on the way out of Los Angeles.

 

You can see the bear proof box in the bottom right hand corner.  We had to put everything in this.

Will slowly add more posts over the next week.  If you are a friend on facebook I plan to create albums there with more pictures of each place we visit, if you wanted to check there also.

Love
