Curtis and I are off on another adventure. This one was a gift. A friend of mine gave me free airline tickets that she couldn't use. We tried to go to Fairbanks to see the Northern Lights, but couldn't work out the flights unless we wanted to go for three weeks...which sounded great to me. But pretty sure my boss might not agree. So we decided to go to Las Vegas. I was a little unsure what we would do in Vegas for a week until I realized how close Vegas is to The Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park.
