I hate to say this, but another cool day in Vegas! We went to the pool, not as great as we thought it would be, the water was cool and when we came out I needed the towel to keep me warm. What’s going on? The guy that drives the bus to and from the airport told us that this summer was cooler than normal, it is still 85 – 90 outside but it’s quite windy and there are a lot of clouds in the sky.

After waking up at about 11 am we showered and went to The Bay City Diner (go figure) for breakfast, then off to Binion’s (another hotel on Freemont Street that Ross has bought all his wild shirts for cheap $$) to see if they have any new stock in, but alas, no. So off to Wallyworld (hopefully to get all the stuff we got yesterday that we had to leave there because of a bomb scare!) We went to another one, but we didn’t like it, I couldn’t find a turkey baster, the sandals I had, the shorts I found, or the birthday cards we picked out. We also found out that Robaxasal (back pills that we buy where the Advil is) is by prescription only. Wow! We got what we could and ended up going to the first Wallyworld to get what we couldn’t from the first one.

After the Wallyworld adventure we decided to do the Fashion Mall on the strip to see if I could find a “Mother of the Bride” dress for Pam’s wedding! After finding a parking spot we took off to Macy’s and went into their long gown department. Ross sat around while I picked a few dresses and tried them on. I didn’t fall in love with any of them but there was a grey to black dress that was just beautiful but I wasn’t quite sure what Pam wants me to wear so I thought I would call her. I left a message on her voicemail but she didn’t call back so we left and I will go shopping with Jessie in South Carolina when I go to see them in October. I think I will have a better chance finding a dress in the states rather than Mexico, their selection is limited! After shopping is when we went to the pool and ended up being really cold, so we went into the hot tub and we felt much better!

We went to (guess where?) Bay City Diner for supper, Ross had the 1 pound prime rib and I had a French Dip (they were both very very good). We have been doing a bit of gambling here and there throughout the day and I think we are a head a bit! Three Dog Night were to be playing tonight on the main stage but they ended up playing at the little one and we thought that we would enjoy the band we saw in the lounge last night better. We went to the lounge and they weren’t playing! Where did they go? The sign said they were to be playing tonight! What a bummer! We took off to the balcony our hotel has overlooking the main stage and watched a band play 60’s music, they were good. We gambled a little more and here I sit on the bed in our hotel room, sipping wine and typing today’s blog! We might go and get a snack before bed, I don’t know, we were trying to go to bed early tonight so we can get up a little earlier tomorrow so we can get the stuff done that we need to get done before we turn the rental car in.

That will be in tomorrow’s blog. Hope everyone has a safe and fun day!
