A little trip

This years Las Vegas bowl had Boise State playing University of Utah. They are the 2 favorite teams in this household so off to Vegas we go. Vegas had 5 straight days of rain and lucky us we leave sunny Scottsdale for rain and lots of it. Thankfully shortly before game time the rain stopped & we could watch the game without being drenched. Boise State won the game 26-3 great game for me the Boise State fan but I do wish Utah played better & made it more exciting.The night before the game there was a pep rally held on Freemont Street. The cheerleaders cheered, the bands played, the mascots made fools of themselves & the fans taunted each other. We had a great time.

We braved the rain and took a walk down the strip to the wax museum. Gotta love seeing all the famous "people". Some of them really creeped me out, they seem so real like they could reach out and grab ya or start talking to ya.
He knows how hot he is.

On our way home we stopped at the new bridge over the Colorado River. It's was so cool to get to walk across it and look down at the Hoover Dam. On our trips to Vegas over the years we have watched the progress of building the bridge and to see it finished was great. It will make getting to Vegas so much easier by not having to fight traffic crossing the Dam. If you aren't paying attention you will drive across it and not realize that you drove 880 ft. above the river.

What a great view of the Dam.
