Leaving Las Vegas



Hey We're Back!

And we didn't break the bank.

Our only gamble was flying. The trip started with the luggage truck smashing into the plane. The result a big hole in the side of the plane and 2 hour delay waiting for a replacement.

After getting there theing went smoother.

Here is a quick summary. We went to Red Rocks outside of Las Vegas and spend half a day hiking. It was interesting walking around the desert. Most asked question. Why was Red Rocks red? Answer Iron Oxide, rust.

The services were at Beth Sholom in Summerlin. Very nice temple, very nice services. Harrison, the bar mitzvah did very well. ( I think, my Hebrew is non existant! )

The party was a kid extravaganza at Red Rock Lanes. This was the only bowling lanes that I have seen inside a casino. It was next to the Regal Cinema also inside the casino. Pizza, soda, loud rock music, bumper bowling, funny hats and glow sticks made a very festive atmosphere.

We spent the rest of the time visting Gillian, Larry, Harrison, Hanna, and Haily.

Best of all we made it home without getting stuck in the vacation travel crush.
