Red Rock Canyon

This morning as we were walking thru the casino to get some breakfast, we bumped into a bunch of our Chicago clan. The whole group then headed over for a caffeine fix from Starbucks in the Golden Nugget and saw two more cousins from Kauai. By the time we got back to the California, Aloha Specialties was open, with three more cousins and their spouses stopping in while we were eating. Even though we had only been up for a couple hours, we had already gotten an early start on hugs and laughs.

^^^This.

This is what I love about our family and what I love about coming to Vegas for a reunion.

Since the NBA Summer League games didn't start until the afternoon, R, J, and I spent the rest of the morning at Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, about 30 minutes west of Las Vegas. We drove the 13-mile scenic loop through the park. Surprisingly, the weather was on the cooler side, maybe because a storm was rolling in. We didn't have time to do any hiking, but will have to do that the next time we're back here. In the winter, of course.









Beautiful place to visit! Amazing that something so totally different from all of the neon excess exists just outside of the city!
