After determining where we could drive and get to somewhere warm, Vegas was the spot. Unfortunately, D-man is not making the trip with us, but the Wrights found a place close to the strip with a pool.
We took advantage of our rental car to save even more money and made the trek in one day. T-man already loved the minivan, but even more so after traveling in a sedan - no movies and no screen for playing the wii.
A booster the day before and a more boring ride led to a couple of naps. We drove some beautiful terrain, some desolate areas and hit both snow and rain before driving into 70 degree weather.
We arrived in Vegas around 6:00 (thanks to the time change) and picked up groceries and sandwiches for dinner. It was an early night for us given Marshall and I worked on Monday, but great to know we have warm weather and vacation on the horizon.
