We enjoyed Shabbos in Las Vegas’ Henderson suburb, spending time with my parents and our family back together. It was also nice seeing our friends from the Shul.
This morning I ran the 8ish miles on the Mccullough Trail from Anthem to Henderson:
After my run, Trish and I and my parents hiked up to the top of the local hill to look down on their neighborhood:
This afternoon we visited with Tricia’s relatives, then returned to my parents’ house for dinner.
Trish and the kids flew back to New York late this evening. Tomorrow I start driving back to New York.
This morning was dead calm, and overnight my landing zone was parked in by off-roaders coming for the big weekend, so a launch was risky. We decided to pack up and drive north to Las Vegas where Trish and B will be flying in for a weekend with my parents.
On the way to Vegas we stopped in Boulder City at the information center for Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument:
Good Shabbos from Las Vegas! See the trip map for today’s drive.
