Las Vegas {Road Trip}

On January 8th, Brian and I drove to Las Vega$ to meet up with friends. Katie, Rachael and Kiel from Indiana, Jim from West Virgina, and Theresa and Max from Arizona. Three of them had never been! We also took a quick trip to Red Rock Canyon and took a few snapshots.

Here we all are in Downtown. l to r: Brian, me, Katie, Jim, Kiel, Rachael, Theresa and Max.

On the way home, we saw the sun flanked by two sundogs. I'm happy that I was able to take a snapshot of it. Taken just west of Stateline.

I took this snapshot as we were approaching Baker.

Christmas 2009 { Happy New Year! }

Happy New Year! It has been a busy holiday season. With getting all the things done that needed done before Christmas, I haven't had time to post. My family and I had a wonderful Christmas holiday. We were able to visit family and friends and I was able to get a few snapshots of our gatherings. Wishing everyone Love and Joy in 2010!
