Leaving Las Vegas

Today, May 29 , we left Vegas for the beginnings of our summer adventures.

We stayed in Vegas for a total of 5 weeks. We had our good bye dinner with Robyn, Scott and the kids and I showed them the video that I produced of our time together. I have really become more and more accomplished at taking pictures , and using the Studio 11 program, making a video with music , transitions, titles and everything timed to flow together. Doing these projects has truly given me a greater appreciation for what a movie editor does in producing a real film. Just producting this 20 minute video took me about 20 hours.........that is an hour of work for a minute of video.

For the week before we left, Barb got her fill of playing poker at the casinos. She played for 8 days in a row and, though, she did not win any big jackpots, she did have a great time playing. In addition, she accumulated money in comps. So we went out for a nice dinner at the Green Valley Casino. We had never been or heard of the China Spice restuarant but the online reviews were good. Well, it was better than good. We had a wonderful dinner, great service and enough left over for the next night's dinner.

We are heading towards California where we will spend the next couple of months. We will stay at the Thousand Trails parks that are part of our membership parks between Las Angeles and San Jose. All of the parks are outside the cities, so we will take day trips for going to the beaches and other siteseeing adventures.

We will keep you up to date.
Love and hugs,
Barb and Linda
