We're back in Seattle and travel went well both ways. You can't ask for more on a busy holiday weekend. When we landed, it was 75 degrees and 10 degrees cooler than the lowest overnight temperature in Las Vegas. In other words, it never went below 85 the entire time.
Locals don't bat an eye at 100 in Vegas, but 110 gets people's attention, especially this late in the summer. Although it gets old fast, thank goodness for AC. I used the hotel pool a few times, but it was impossible to stay outside for long.
My sister threw an amazing party for about 40 of their friends and neighbors. So much love in the room for our Dad, who has stolen many hearts over the years he's lived in Las Vegas.
Christine the showgirl was the big surprise of the night. After "feathering up" in the back bedroom, John caught these cute pictures of her coming down the hall sideways in her headdress.
Christine is a real showgirl and performs at Las Vegas venues and the Golden Nugget hockey games. She is 6 feet tall without her heels and feathers.
Good thing the house has high ceilings. Anyway, along with being quite the presence, she had a sweet personality. A class act.
In a town where (ahem) you can have anything delivered to the door, this was family-friendly and perfect for our group, thanks to the agency's professionalism and Christine's ability to read her audience.
She stayed for about 30 minutes before presumably moving on to more difficult gigs. As you can see, it was impossible to take a bad picture of Christine.
