Great day! Woke up and watched the kids hunt for the eggs in the yard, then ate breakfast. We had to go to my mom’s house for Easter dinner. I do hate that ride, she lives in North Carolina while we live in Virginia. It only takes an hour to get there, but it seems like a very long hour. It goes through very rural country, so not much to see. Although on the way home we saw two deer cross the road in front of us. So there was that. While at Mom’s house grandson decided to display his new vocabulary skills by calling his cousin a pussy. Yep, that happened. He is only six and sadly we have a neighbor child who is a couple of years older who has been calling grandson these names, so he decided to use them on someone else. We have banned this neighbor child from visiting, but they still have to ride the bus to school together. So it seems to be a daily thing that this boy calls my grandson names and flips him off.
Still in countdown mode for Vegas, we are now at 14 days. Oh I can’t wait. I keep reading trip reports and blogs about Vegas, even though we have been several times, I still like to read about other’s adventures and get some ideas from them about other stuff to do that might not always make the top ten. We are renting a car this time instead of relying on taxis. Hopefully we will come out less expensive than using taxi service. We got what I think is a great deal through alamo for 4 days at 115 bucks. A cab just to the hotel and to downtown would run us 80 bucks at least and this way we can take a side trip to the hoover dam and some ghost towns around the area. I hope to be able to write up a trip report when we get home, but I am a procrastinator and it might take some time.
until next time…
