On the road to Las Vegas

Right now were traveling up the road leaving San Diego, so we have about a 5 hour drive to Las Vegas ahead of us.  We woke up this morning took our showers to get all squeaky clean then had some breakfast and packed everything up.  We spread some rose petals at the Oak Creek RV Resort so a little bit of Mom will be there.  She would’ve really loved the place.  11:57am


The super cool plane
Picture from Google

Just saw a super cool airplane! It had two propellers facing upwards.  It flew by too quickly to get a photo so I will Google it for an image! 12:12pm

Osprey Aircraft




Arched Bridge

There are so many hills! But tucked away behind each little hill is a town. It’s cool how people will build their homes anywhere. We’re coming up on Old Highway 395.  I love how they label the “old” highways.  It is like a little piece of history peeking out from around the freeway corner.  We just passed this HUGE arch bridge.  Daddy took a couple pictures of it... WHILE he was driving!! He is pretty talented that man. 12:42 pm




Purple Car!
 Ruh Roh! Just hit traffic! And of course what do you see in traffic? Tricked out purple cars! 1:00pm



Crazy driver at 1:19pm!! All over the place! Got in front of us then slowed down and swerved around between lanes!! And people wonder why driving scares some people.






“Life is a trip in your RV!” RV Expo on the outskirts of LA. 1:38pm



Bologna Sandwich time! Plus side to having an RV is you can make Samiches as you ride! There is also a great view of the mountains from the left side of the RV.  There’s just a big rock in the middle of the mountains… it looks totally different from the other rocks around.  Crazy! 2:00pm








Desert. 2:37pm




140 miles to Sin City!!





Big Boy Approved Giant Thermometer





We just passed the world’s largest thermometer.  It is kind of a disappointment though because it isn’t actually a mercury thermometer it is just a large structure with digital screens and a screen at the top that shows the temperature.  Still pretty shnazzy though!  4:07pm










They want us to turn off our air conditioner… Did I mention were in the middle of the dessert? RV overheating my rear!  Going to keep that AC on!






  


We just passed through Primm.  Crazy little town with roller coasters, shopping malls, and a Whiskey Petes, which is some sort of hotel. Still a ways away from Sin City, but we’re on our way! 5:00pm
