Our Adventures Through City and Backcountry
Las Vegas. What a town. I tried. I tried really, really hard for 20 hours to like it here. We spent the whole day at the pool. It the lazy river opened at 10 and we were part of a small group waiting in line to get pool chairs in the shade. It is totally […]
