Zion National Park

Category: Vacation — Ian C. @ 11:12 pm

When we arrived at Zion National Park, we were able to drive the tour roads (from April you have to park and use a tour bus), and also take a 3 mile hike up around the canyon – all very spectacular!

Driving to Zion

This morning we left Las Vegas, and headed North East from Nevada into Arizona and then into Utah … we were headed to Zion National Park, but the drive was nearly as spectacular as the destination!

Love

This evening, we saw “LOVE”, the Beatles themed show from Cirque Du Soleil – and it was amazing :)

Also interesting was our view sitting right behind the sound console with the chance to view all the (Mac) displays!

Las Vegas day 4 – Hoover Dam

Category: Las Vegas, Vacation — Ian C. @ 8:03 pm

Joanne and Earle have visited Las Vegas twice now, but never seen anywhere except the casinos! So we drove them out to Hoover Dam – and got to see the getting-closer-to-completion new bridge, too!

This evening, while it was still mid-70s at 9pm(!), we watched the Fountains of Bellagio from “below” – street level …
