Day 7: VEGAS BABY
Hey friends and family, its actually the Dopey’s last day doing the blog. Today
we woke up to a beautiful sunrise at 5:00 A.M. From there we started our day
with breakfast that included sausage and pancakes. This morning was a slower
moving morning; we pulled out of the Grand Canyon at about 9:45 A.M. We were happy to sleep in a little bit at the Grand Canyon. It was another cold night, but we survived!! Then we
were off to Las Vegas, Nevada. After a 6
hour ride we arrived in Vegas at 3:45 pm, while eating a peanut butter and jelly
lunch with a side of apples and chips on the bus. As soon as we got off the bus
we all headed over to Caesars Palace to take a group picture and then we were
sent off to explore in small groups. We had 8 hours to explore Vegas tonight, as our bus driver Tim, has to get a full 8 hours rest before our over night drive. This is the longest any TWB group has stayed in Vegas so far, lucky us!!
We saw the Eifel Tower, the Space Needle, and New York, New York and many other hotels and beautiful buildings and fountains.
While walking the strip you will see many strange but interesting things and
people, some of which included, showgirls dressed in police uniforms and
feathers, half nude men, and people dressed as show and movie characters.
All of these people charge you to take pictures of or with them, and will get mad if you don't tip them after taking pictures. After walking the strip for 8 hours and
getting dinner at different places, and shopping for souvenirs, and watching the light water show, we met at the bus at 11:45pm. After this we
spent the whole night driving to Santa Monica Beach where we arrived at 6am. Some of us slept well, some of us did not, lol! We are happy to be spending the day shopping and exploring Santa Monica. Sending love your way, the
Dopeys.
