Memorial Day

This Memorial Day Miki took the kids and some friends to the Clark County Heritage Museum. It was a bit of a surprise. It only cost $1.50 for adults and $1 for kids. It has an old train depot from Boulder City, an old print shop, a few houses redone to represent their era in Las Vegas and an old red barn that served as a land mark for early Las Vegas residents. We thoroughly enjoyed it. It left us feeling a bit of a connection to Las Vegas. It used to be just a town, not so much a tourist destination. It was surreal to see the city in that light.

After the museum, we were introduced to O'Callaghan Park near down town Henderson. I was amazed at how beautiful that park is. It's a beautiful green heaven in the middle of our desert city. We enjoyed lunch with our fabulous friends then headed to the movie theater to see Night at the Museum 2. My kids will tell you it was a perfect day. Too bad Kalvan was in Utah.

Kalvan drove to St. George to stay the night with Rob and his family and get an early start on climbing Angel's Landing in Zion National Park. The weather was perfect and it was a beautiful day for a hike. Click on the link below to follow along and see the amazing scenery so difficult to capture with the camera.

My Garmin GPS watch did pretty well at maintaining satellite reception until further up when we went into Refrigerator Canyon.
