Life on the road, 2016 edition

Well, we hit the road again yesterday, spending night #1 at the south end of Las Vegas at the Oasis RV Resort. It was a nice enough park, if slightly overpriced, but the best part for us was proximity to Silverton Casino, which contains the Bass Pro Shop and the free mermaid show, both of which we invaded and enjoyed immensely. The RV Park itself had a pretty nice pool for the kids and two pools that were only for adults. The family pool was fun, but it seemed odd to me that they'd have three pools and that assignment of use, but maybe that is just because the family pool was super crowded and the adults only pools were nearly empty, Maybe it was just an odd weekend for that.

Reading Gone with the Wind, how appropriate!

Welcome to Nevada, hasta luego, California!

Before leaving California, we had a rock truck cut us off in an effort to make an exit, and just to make it more exciting, he threw up a stone that chipped our windshield. Now, I'm no expert, but RV windshields are not inexpensive, and this chip seems too large and too deep to be repaired, so we've got that to look forward to when we get somewhere that we can take the time to see about fixing it.

Oops!

For now, we continue on, stopping for the night in Page, AZ, which was a questionable decision, but there aren't many other towns nearby, and we are on a mission both to cross the country and to see some things. We were actually able to get a reservation at near a National Park on a holiday weekend, so we'll be checking out a park we haven't seen before for the next two days, celebrating B's 6th birthday and the birthday of this nation before heading on toward our East Coast destination.

We've cranked out nearly 600 of our 3000 miles in just two days and deserve a few days R&R to enjoy the beauty of both Missy Sassy Pants and the United States. WiFi has been hard to come by, so I will post as I am able.

Weird roads, wind back and forth from AZ to UT and back

Utah is one of the prettiest states, in my opinion, just not that part

That makes this the dam, right?
