Remember the Berlin Wall??

OK well we've hit Hell's Wall - holy mother of God it's hot - reminds me of living in the Okanagan well maybe a few degrees hotter but not many!!  Chloe not liking this heat so much - she's more of a winter lover - FREAK!!  So this is Chloe's new best friend...we call her Spray Fan! We bought it when we were at SeaWorld the last day - you fill the bottom with water and the little fan mists you with it...I'm sure she'll fill it today and carry it for the remainder of the trip.  Actually if you look around they will spray you in & around Vegas.  I pointed out to Chloe t

Viva Las Vegas!!

Good Morning! Soon we'll be winging our way to Vegas and the heat, heat, heat - temperature is sitting around 40 degrees there for the time we will visit. Yesterday we spent the majority of the day at Seaworld - was much quieter as we had seen most of the park on Wednesday so got to do some people watching...and let me tell you there are lots to watch here!  I'm positive that Latin people travel in packs....always - what I noticed it was usually 6-8 women (of all ages) and then only 1-2 men (usually submissive) - very animated conversations and he was usually pushing the b

FLIP – Navy Research Vessell

The other day while out on our SEAL tour - we actually floated past one of these cool things!!  FLIP - Floating Instrument Platform.  It wasn't in its upright form but rather docked at the Navy wharf near the section where the Navy Dolphins & Seals live.  Had to come back & google it so I could share it with you all.  Here is my picture as it sits beside the dock - looks pretty unassuming - just a big cannister like object. People have actually thought it was a gas tank. I'm attaching the link (  http://www.ship-technology.com/projects/flip-ship/ ) - you can only se

There’s Something about Mary…

If you've seen this show you'll recognize the character "Magda" in the picture below.  Now we have spent the last 4 hours down at the pool - and this lady came to mind after I had jumped in the shower - came out & looked at myself in the mirror....OK maybe I don't look quite that bad. But we have definitely seen a few "Magda's " in our travels these past few days.  I like to refer to them as "weathered" looking which could be pretty easy to do in the weather down here.  Heard on the news they haven't had rain in 2 months....back home they've had a few pretty good rain

Got pink?

Oh yah we got some sun today - spent 6 hours at Seaworld and by the last hour Chloe had a lady ask her if she wanted sunscreen...pretty good indication she's had enough sun! So being the 'seasoned' theme park traveler that I am - in my humble opinion Seaworld is the "it" place to go.  Well that being said only if you are more apt to see 'shows' than ride 'rides'. Disneyland is great & all don't get me wrong but it's crazy busy and in all honesty you need at least 3 full days there to actually take in all sections of the park - not even included California Adventure Par
