After the bike ride – Installment Two

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY – 
Mother's Day - A day in which we celebrate mothers.  Every day should be Mother's Day because every day mothers are hard at work helping and caring for and upholding the family.  Mother's are the glue that hold families together.  God is the glue that hold mother's together.

Terri and I headed for Colorado Springs, Colorado in her car.  We got to Las Vegas the first night and found a hotel.  We went to the new Casino just to see what they were like.  I only remember one - New York, New York. 











We were not your good customers to a casino.  We walked and walked and I had to keep reminding myself we were in a Casino.  The interior was so much like the street of New York that I kept forgetting why people went there - to gamble.  We didn't drop a penny other than at a restaurant.  We walked all the way back to our hotel and discovered that it really wasn't a safe thing to do.  The temperature at midnight was 101 degrees. 
        The next morning we set out for Colorado again, but took one more swing through Las Vegas by car to see some of the buildings.

  1. Oh Barb, I just love all those pictures from Mother's Day! They're all so precious, especially the Four Generations one. Baby Samuel is such a little darling!!

    Wow, I can't believe you didn't spend any money at the casino except for the restaurant! lol I'm not a big gambler but if I'm at a casino, I usually play $20-$40 at the slots, I can't resist:-) xoxo
