dads birthday

For My seventy second Birthday, Marlene and I took a short trip to Las Vegas. Vegas is a short two hour drive from our home in St George and the last time We went there was a day trip and we were completely worn out from walking around the strip way too much. This time We booked a room at the Excalibur Hotel, relaxed and took our time, which not so much walking. Tuesday was really warm and Mom wanted to do some swimming so I sat in one of the Hot Tubs while She splashed around in the pool.

There is a Tram that goes between the Excalibur, Luxor and the Mandalay Bay Hotels, so most of our time was spent in that area so we would not have to walk around too much. I think that when a person gets in the seventies that we slow down quite a bit.

Mom found a Timeshare presentation to go to on Wednesday, Free stuff. I have stopped resisting her impulses to go to that kind of thing. We earned, sat through more that three hours of high pressure selling, two tickets to the Lion King show that evening. The show was wonderful, Musicals are our favorite thing.

Wednesday we went to the dinner show at the Excalibur, King Arther's Court. It was really fun eating Cornish Hen, Veggies, and Potatoes with our fingers while we watched Jousting and such. The Good guys won, the Prince became King and all was right with the world. Much better than most of the shows in Vegas. It was a great trip and birthday.
