Red Rock Canyon instead of Vegas


Saturday, March 16th (Vegas)
Red Rock State Park
I unintentionally wake at 3:30 am. I cannot talk my mind into going back to sleep. At 9:30 am I catch the plane to Vegas where the children await me. Hugs. Child #2 (and co-author of this blog) asks my husband not to make a scene at the airport. I say, “He’s allowed to--we are married.” We load the van and bypass all of Vegas so we can go straight to Red Rock Canyon State Park. This is boulder-climbing time: skinny cracks, humongous rocks and hidden crevasses. I like it as much as the children. We hike till exhaustion overtakes us. As the afternoon wanes, the 17 year old drives us through desert country to Lake Havasu.
