That's right - we're in Vegas, baby! Where else on earth would you see a sign for a wedding drive thru!
Since our last blog, we've spent a few days in Los Angeles and then spent a day travelling through the Mojave desert on the way to Las Vegas
The time spent in LA was quite busy. Having visited Disneyland with the boys 20 years ago, we thought a trip down memory lane would be appropriate. So off we went to see Mickey. We discovered Disney now has two theme parks in LA, so we opted for the California Adventure Park.
Of course, my daredevil husband had to ride the death drop at Paradise Pierand we both got absolutely soaking wet on the water rafting ride, which was just before I got completely scared out of my wits by riding the Screamin' Californian roller coaster! The things you do for love!
While in the LA area, we knocked two more NHL arenas off our list.
First, we visited the Honda Center and watched the Ducks clinch a playoff berth, by defeating the visiting LA Kings in a shoot-out.
Then it was on to the Staples Center to watch the Kings defend their turf against the visiting Phoenix Coyotes. LA may have once been home to Gretzky but it was none too kind to his Coyotes that night, winning the game 4-0.But the 'coup de gras' of this leg of our trip was a visit to Sony Studios to watch a taping of Wheel of Fortune! Didn't get any pictures (no cameras were allowed inside the studio), and I'm not sure if our section of the audience ever got scanned by the TV cameras, but you can watch for us in the audience on Apr 7, 8, and 9 when the episodes air.
Then it was on to Vegas. There's so much to do and see here it's overwhelming. Today we took a stroll down 'The Strip'.
We started with lunch at the Hofbrauhaus,
then we checked out the local Hard Rock Cafe,
before visiting Venice (yes, the scenes below are indoors) and checking out the gondolas and gondoliers!
That's all for now. Take care and we'll see ya next week.
