Vegas

Wes had the Friday off before Presidents Day so I thought itvwould be great to get out of town. We planned all this about 3 weeks before hand when it was so cold and we had snow on the ground.

I really wanted to fly to North Carolona and see the grands, but the airfare was more than double the last time we went.

We need to go to California and help out my parents but the Covid numbers were really high here (and still are) which means I was probably being exposed.  It's just not safe.

So I saw on Facebook that Barry Manilow had just scheduled shows for that weekend. Vegas is a days drive, so we booked a couple of seats and made a plan. 

There were  gifts.

And a very fun show

This guy is 78 and can still sing. 

We also visited Red Rock Park.

Here's the thing. Wes hates Vegas. He grew up with his parents teaching him that gambling was the worst thing you could ever do. He just can't get passed that. He did enjoy the show. 

I, on the other hand love Vegas. I love to people watch and let's face it, talk to strangers. It is shinny, and sunny and touristy.  I don't gamble and I don't like hanging out inside casinos, but I do enjoy the hype. 

Long story short; I'm not going to Vegas with Wes again.  He sucks the joy out of it. 

Melting

Wes gave me these flowers with a note about Spring coming. 

I know it will come. I just want it to be a little warmer while I wait for it.

I'm happy to say that we have had a few afternoon highs over freezing. Things are starting to melt. It's messy, but we have to get through the messy to get rid of the snow. 

We had Hawaiian Day at school. I love how happy these little people were to get a lei and say Aloha all day. Oh that we could all enjoy the little things in life. 

Aloha

Cold

We had sun this week with means we had cold mornings.  Still haven't got up to 32 degrees but I know it will happen. It always does.

We gave our kids Jazz tickets for Christmas. We meet up with them in Salt Lake on Friday. 

The boys love basket ball and Callie and I love to yell, so it is a win-win. 

Scott always represents his love of the Warriors. I'll bet that this jersey is 15 years old. It was good to see him relax and he looked happy. It's been a journey for him. 

The big bonus was thar there was no snow on the ground in Salt Lake. It was good for my soul not to see snow for a few hours. 

Bring on the sun!
