Super Bowl Weekend

Hibiscus in my living room. 

Pretty nice week in Las Vegas.  We had two days of much needed rain.  Maybe a half inch total! Spring is on it's way. 

Dan listens regularly to a country radio station called The Coyote, 102.7.  On Tuesday he was the right caller and won 2 tickets to see Craig Wayne Boyd, the latest winner of the Voice. So Saturday evening we headed to the Aliante Casino in North Las Vegas. About a 25 minute drive.  We had never been to this location before.

The first order of business was dinner.  The Salted Lime turned out to be an excellent choice for Mexican food.  Loved, loved, loved the salsa verde made fresh daily with tomatillos.  Gotta get a recipe for this!  We had a great server as well!

Time to kill between dinner and the show so we caught Mortdecai in the casino movie theater. Just about every casino around here has at least 12 screens! Only the second time we have paid full price to see a movie! No discounts on Saturday night!

On to the show. Sorry for the blurry photos.  Only had our Iphones tonight. It was a great show.  Kind of loud for my old ears. "What?" Craig Wayne Boyd had an awesome band with him. Lots of fun.

Game day hike in Red Rock Canyon on Sunday.  It was a perfect morning for a hike with Dan. Now we can eat Super Bowl food and not feel too guilty.

Dan loves these trees with the red bark.

This bush was covered in buds.  Return trip soon!

These cliffs were used for shelter by indigenous nomadic peoples.

We stayed on the trail as recommended!

When we left home I wasn't thinking we were going to hike. Not the right footwear at all.

Found a water source at the end of a short canyon.

See the farthest pine tree. We went past that into the canyon.

Sorry, Dan saw this on an antenna as we were leaving the parking area. Not Real!

Surprisingly this cartoon in our local paper is pretty accurate. lol

It's getting close to game time so I'll end for now.  Can't wait for the commercials to begin.  haha. 

Dan is all set! Go Patriots!

Be watching for a post about a visit I will have with my friend Katie (from Vermont and Montana). Should be fun!

Enjoy the big game.

It's all about the journey!

Nancy and Dan
