Las Vegas

Ya gotta love warmth when you live in a place like Idaho Falls. Well, maybe I should say that if you like warmth you might not want to live in Idaho Falls. I'm not complaining mind you, just relating to reality. And, of course, the reason I live here has absolutely nothing to do with the climate.

So Karen and I had a break from the cold down in Las Vegas. When we picked up our rental car they were out of the economy ones I had requested so they upgraded us to a convertible. Bummer, huh? Well, we made the best of it and ended up getting a little sun burned along the way, but it was well worth it.


My quest to see some wild flowers turned out to be a little more difficult than I expected. We managed to find some but they were not as abundant as I had hoped. We also got to do a little botanizing and figured out the difference between Joshua Trees and Yucca. Both have similar leaves but now that we know the difference.

Here's Karen standing by a Joshua Tree.

So this whole trip turned out to be a fantastic get away for us and we enjoyed it and each other's company immensely. Ya gotta love the cold of Idaho Falls, especially from Las Vegas!
