Las Vegas - February 2012

Michael and I decided to take a trip to Las Vegas.  We flew on Spirit Airlines and were very disappointed.  They charge for everything; ended up costing more that if we had flown Southwest,  seat area was very cramped.  Well I guess we learned our lesson. 

We loved the sight and sounds of Las Vegas. 
 




 
 
 

 



 


 
 

We stayed at New York New York.  It was so nice.
 
 


 
 
 
We enjoyed the Wax Museum
See if you can guess who I am with.
 




 



 
We also went to the Donny and Marie Show.  It was so good.  I loved it.
 

 
We also played the slots.  Didn't win though.
 
 

 

We also saw Price is Right.  Sorry the picture is blurry.

 
 
We had such a good time that we plan to go back later in the year to celebrate our birthdays.

Road Trip - January 2012


January was a busy month. 

 
 
 
Michael and I decided to take a road trip to Lake Havasu City AZ.  We walked across the London Bridge.  Our hotel was at one end of the bridge with a beautiful view of Lake Havasu.
 


We took a trip by ferry to Havasu Landing Casino.  We were very disappointed in the casino.  It was nothing like the beautiful casinos we have in New Mexico and Arizona.  The ferry ride was very nice though.


Our room was very nice.  I really enjoyed the jetted tub.  Almost lost myself in the bubbles!


We received a call that my brother, Billie T Howell, who lives in Oklahoma City had a stroke.  We decided to continue our road trip on to Oklahoma City.


 

 
 
We were happy to find that Billie was doing well.  We got to meet his step-daughter and see Wilma, his wife and Debbie, his daughter.  
 
 
 
 
 
We had a great time visiting with everyone.  We even got Billie's picture box out and looked at old family pictures.
