Laughlin

We spent last weekend in Laughlin, enjoying some time away.  Since it was Donna and Bruce's (sister and brother-in-law for those who don't know them) 40th wedding anniversary, and we had celebrated our 40th awhile back, we thought we would all go and kinda celebrate together.

We didn't do anything special, just a little gambling and - of course - had a few margaritas! Donna and I went to see a Chinese acrobatic show which was quite entertaining, and sometimes, kinda nerve wracking!  It's amazing what those performers can do!  We decided that it takes lots of physical, and mental, training for sure.  I would have liked to take some pictures of them.  I wouldn't want to break their concentration, though!

We spent the rest of the time just relaxing, driving to a few other casinos, and watching the boats on the river.  Here are a few pictures from the balcony at our hotel.




I love looking out over the water and watching everything go by!

The view is really pretty at night also.  The lights on the Arizona side show up really well.


One of the casinos we went into had a really nice conservatory just inside the entrance.  It was full of trees, ponds and waterfalls.  I did get one picture of a waterfall.


So we enjoyed our couple of days away, and we didn't loose too much money either!  I guess that's all we can hope for.

When we got back home, I had a nice surprise waiting for me.

It finally arrived!
