Our trip to CO, day 1

I kept a journal of what we did each day of our trip, so I shall share that, including pictures when available, with you, here.

July 8th – Wednesday

Following the usual setting-off-in-the-motorhome-Trader Joe’s-spree, and then the drive back up the hill, home to pick up the forgotten nine chicken breasts Sid had grilled for the trip, we drove to Las Vegas, stopping a couple of times for outlet shopping on the way, Sid and I sharing the privilege of driving. We ended up parked in the parking lot of The Tropicana, and there we stayed the night. June and Aveline had no problems falling asleep, but Jonny, Sid and I were HOT! Jonny felt a little homesick, too. I told him the true story from my girlhood of The Haunted Slumber Party. He liked the story, but was still too hot to fall asleep. I gave him scratchies, but still, he was too hot. The three of us decided we needed to take cold showers, right there in our motorhome, to cool off. Initially Jonny didn’t want to, but Sid and I urged him, telling him that that night would soon be a memory and we would have fun looking back and talking about the adventure of getting through the hot night in our motorhome, in Las Vegas! The shower helped a lot . . . for a little while. Soon enough Jonny drifted off, and eventually Sid did too.

Jonny, backward in shotgun!

Just give me my Peet's and I'm good

Outside the outlet mall in Primm, I couldn't believe the majesty of the sky! If you have to live in Primm, there's the upside, right there

I turned off my flash and used a little LED flashlight to illuminate my handsome Love's sweet face as he drove us on
