Vegas here we come! Not our first visit here—been years through, actually 11 years ago! Always fun to be in this wild and crazy town.
We left our cozy Gallup lodging to begin our third day moving west. We love the temperature—cool morning and evening, warm in afternoon. It is a short drive to cross state lines and hear GPS say “welcome to Arizona”. Our plan is to drive through Petrified Woods and
Painted Desert National Park. We planned only an hour but three hours later we return to our route.
Visitor center gives an overview
My camera doesn’t take such quality pictures but trust me, this is a majestic location to see nature’s features. Colorful vast expanse of land!
Lunch time! Flagstaff, land of Grand Canyon, was our destination. We didn’t plan to visit GC this trip—we’d visited many times to see the colors change
Ordered chicken, beef and pork fry bread
Fry bread or Navajo taco is loaded with pinto beans, meat, Lettuce, tomato, tomato, onions, sour cream and guacamole to top it off. Yummy!!
Back on the road, three hours later, we approached Hoover Dam, a massive feat of skill and engineering!
There in the distance is Lake Mead. Soon we arrive in Vegas! Our hotel is New York, New York! Oh my! There is the roller coaster looping around the hotel and people are screaming as they plunge down a sharp incline! 
View from our 30th floor—windows are tinted to give this purple hue.
Here is view of roller coaster
We could hear riders screaming as they descended the loop!
Good night Irene! Tomorrow is another travel day!
