A Surprise in Laughlin, Nevada



 On the way we stopped in Bullhead City and had a great visit with Sandy and Michel friends from DHSprings since 2005. We also went on the Panama Canal with them an Rich and Tina in 2010.

An extra little trip and driving up River Road is always an experience, just like a roller coaster, that's 3 dips in the road ahead.
















We had arranged to join Jan, surprising Hilda on their vacation and did we ever! When they got in, we celebrated with wine and appies in our room.
















We started Sunday with a Champagne Brunch at the Riverside and while the girls walked home along the RiverWalk, Ron and I did a little gambling. Then there was pool time in the 86 degree sunshine.
We stayed at the Golden Nugget and I would highly recommend it. The food at the Claimjumper, including my Chicken Pot Pie was incredible. It must have been 5" across and 7" high. The restaurant was just behind this beautiful garden and waterfall.










We joined the Caret Club, got a little free slot play and had a blast. We celebrated Ron's birthday with another great dinner at the Steakhouse, then the crib board came out and the Bachelor TV show had to be watched. A great time together with 2 very good friend
Time  to leave. It seems the road goes straight as far as the eye can see.
There are always interesting things to see on a road trip. Someone hung a pair of sneakers on a fence on a road trip and now it has just grown with faces and stretches 100' down the fence line on the left.
We stopped at the Chiraco Summit where the General Patton Museum is and ate lunch at the  Cafe, started by this family in 1923 without having electricity and the original Post Office was placed here.
