The only pictures I took while we were in Vegas were pictures of flamingos at the Flamingo! It was so nice to find a green area and benches to sit on. I think all of the strip has a plan that the only available places to sit are at the slot machines!
It was a nice trip. My only advice is if you get to see Donny & Marie or Bette Midler...do it. If you have a chance to see Barry Manilow...skip it. We thought Barry would be a slam dunk but were fairly disappointed. Too loud. No connection with the audience. We also saw the Titanic and the Bodies exhibits at the Luxor. They both were interesting in their own way. I was especially amazed at the Bodies. How they were preserved was extremely cool.
I knit a few rows on my socks while DH took a quick nap one afternoon. I didn't try taking the knitting on the plane. I love my Crystal Palace size 2s that I use for sock knitting and it would break my heart if they were taken from me.... On the way home though, we sat next to a young gal with bamboo needles. She was making a baby afghan. She was also traveling with her cat. I didn't know you were allowed to take animals on board, but she said as long as the carrier would fit under the seat you can. I didn't even know she had her kitty with her until she started talking about it after we landed. Our cats would have thrown a total hissy fit if we'd try something like that! :)
I'm working on the blue baby afghan as much as I can stand....still don't like the counting. And am looking to start a pink one too in case the new grandbaby is a girl. The patterns I'm looking at are also a bunch of counting but they are very pretty.....just have to pick the right one. They are in Leisure Arts Our Best Knit Baby Afghan. I think I'll do a little sample knitting to see what pattern I like the best.
On Saturday afternoon we will be celebrating DGD's 4th birthday. It'll be a fun time. She's been having an earache though. Hope she feels better for the party.
Our weather has gotten really boring. Snow and cold. Yet. Still. Will it be here forever? Where is the global warming when you need it!!!
