Grand Canyon and Vegas

For the 4th of July weekend, I drove with family to Grand Canyon, and Vegas. After driving for 15 hours straight with the short food stops, we arrived in Williams, AZ around 10.30 in the night. Went to bed around 1 after dinner and family talk, and had to wake up by 3 in the freakin morning to rush 70 miles to the Rim to watch the Sun rise over the mystic Canyon. That sight was well worth the long drive and short sleep, but after that... the day just got boring. You can only appreciate a pit in the earth so much :) And not having enough sleep wasnt helping either. Spent another night in Williams, and headed over to Hoover Dam the next day enroute to Las Vegas. The Dam never fails to amaze you, no matter how many times you have been to it. It's one of the marvels of Civil Engineering.

Moving along... Some places never get tiring, no matter how many times you have been there, and I am not talking about Grand Canyon or Hoover. Yes, Vegas Baby!!! It's that place that your "Dangerously living on the Edge" side calls home. All night clubbin... drinkin... gambling... shows... food... then back to clubbin. Did I miss sleeping in there?? Oh did I forget to mention, it's the City that never sleeps. So, in case any of you guys are missing that part of your personality... go find it in Vegas. Good thing, I had my Bro-In-Law's Bro (is that my BIL too?) to have fun in Vegas with... Can't party with family, and if you cant party, you cant have the total Vegas experience.
