It seems every few years I fall out of love with blogging.
I just got back from a week's vacation and I'm not even motivated to post the photos here. Maybe it is because I'm wasting all my time on Pinterest and Facebook? But that's a whole other post...
We flew into Las Vegas.
And immediately knew we lucked out with the weather.
It was still hot but at least the heat was cut by afternoon thundershowers. Which brought the temperature down to a cozy 90 degrees.
We also immediately learned that Las Vegas had changed. At least in our eyes. Instead of seeing an insulated pocket of fun and indulgence, we saw a bit more of the underbelly than we had on on visits years before.
It is startling how much of a difference there is between the glitzy casinos and the "real" and much poorer parts of Vegas.
There are literally pawn shops, tattoo studios, liquor stores, bail bond shops, and advertisements for personal injury lawyers on every corner.
Thankfully, we were on our way to Utah...
