Bryce to Vegas

Today started with a trip back into Bryce Canyon to Sunrise Point for coffee, hoodoos, and early morning light. A little further down the road, Natural Bridge was a true highlight of the early hours.

Then, after a hearty breakfast buffet, the crew decided to get toward Vegas. The weather was turning for the worse and rain or snow were in the forecast for the Grand Canyon, but not Vegas.

We checked reviews online and the best pools in Vegas were our primary concern. I read the descriptions to the girls and we settled on the Mirage. Now, if we could only keep from being blown off the road by the wind on our way into Vegas.

Strip-side view of the uh, Strip. Except, the sand was blowing around and pools were closed. "What do we do, girls?" LCE: "We roll with it, Daddy." Damn right. Actually, we grab some drinks and people watch.

The nagging problem was that Ellie still wanted to swim. Not even an amazingly close dolphin show would dissuade her. "How come the dolphins get to swim and we don't?!? It's not fair."
