I know I was trying to post everything about our trip to Vegas. I was trying to get one post up daily, but life got in the way this weekend.

Sunday morning around 4:30am I hit the road heading to New York state to see my brother. Some of you may know already, he was recently diagnosed with cancer. My sisters and mom had went up there last week. My sister Betsy had decided to stay with him for awhile to see how he would respond to his treatments.

Because of work, I could only go up & spend a couple hours with him Sunday evening, pick up mom & my other sister to bring them home Monday morning.

The drive up took about 12hrs. That included stopping for gas, food & a 90 minute nap that my body insisted on taking.

The trip back to a “little” longer. My mom & sister are smokers & have to take more bathroom breaks than I do. Between this, dropping my sister Lisa off in Tennessee & going by my grandma’s house the trip back took about 15 1/2 hrs (with no nap).

Today is catch up on sleep day & then I will get back to finishing Las Vegas posts.

Oh, I also got to see my 2 “great” nieces for the first time. One is 2yrs old & the other is 7 months.

Here are some pictures-

Driving through Pennsylvania, the water that had been seeping through the rocks froze into HUGE “icecicles” -
