What is nice about being retired is that you can change your mind and yesterday we did just that. What was going to be a straight 300 mile drive to Vegas turned into a twisting, turning, 450 mile drive,but glad we did it . While visiting with Ken and Jeanie, Jeanie mentioned we should drive through Death Valley so Doug took his map out and plotted a new course. What looked like a straight road, CA 155, turned out to have so many twists, turns, hairpins curves and up and down the mountain took 2 1/2 hours to go 110 miles. But what a beautiful drive.
The drive took us through some interesting places and some desolate places. Death Valley is a real wonder of Mother Nature and I wished we had longer to stay and explore.
Arriving late in Las Vegas we were surprised to find that Treasure Island had upgraded us to a suite, so SWEET!! Wish I could add that we won big, can only say truthfully that we both still have some of our money left.

Definately click on the picture for this one, as you can see cow's, at least I think they are cow's grazing on the far hillside.
I'm so jealous to not have a view like that from my backyard!
