Wow! What a great little town.... we had reservations in Bullhead City, AZ, as it had an RV Park in our "club system", which means certain places we stay for $10.00 per night. So, we needed to chill for a week, and off we went!
We were 1/2 mile off the Colorado River and right across the bridge to Laughlin, NV. My uncle and aunt used to go there lots. I'd never been and Steve and I didn't even know it was nearby. But, it was, and we did little (really, very little gambling) and took advantage of the buffets, which were good, but not like Vegas!
We took Elvis on a day trip south to Lake Havasu, where the London Bridge is, and it was beautiful. The water is just turquoise blue, and it's so tropical...............too bad the water temp is only in the 60's!
Other than that, we took a river boat trip and then just hung out. We were in the very back of the RV park; it was like a private spot...............no neighbors, little noise. We could see the casino lights at night from the "veranda" during happy hour.
Now, we are in an RV Park believe it or not, in the middle of Vegas. Just staying 2 days to see Fremont St., the Venetian, Bellagio and a day trip to Hoover Dam. The bummer is that the high temps are in the low 60's and there is lots of wind! Gusts up to 40 mph YUCK! Oh well, we couldn't go right by Vegas and not stop. I haven't been here on over 30 years so it's changed just a bit.
Off to a place called "Pahrump" NV and a resort that's like a little oasis in the desert. It's got it's own beach, and spa. Will send pics later.
I hope you take the time to look at the slideshow below. We take tons of pics, but we do try and keep them to a minimum on the blog.
So, off to California soon, to see Steve's family. We are meeting his sister and brother in law in Palm Springs in 2 weeks so that should be fun, even though it's just for a short weekend.
Enough for now gotta walk the dog!
Take care,
Kathy, Steve and Elvis
