A short visit with family

Always happy to see family, we took advantage of a few days off and drove over (in car only) to see daughter Mary and her family in Las Vegas.

Jason had never been there before so we walked our legs off visiting the various "shows" and hotels. The grandkids loved it and we loved seeing them.

A little "perk" from the Family gathering; an invitation to visit Sea World with sister Sandra and family.  Spencer has worked for Sea World for 20 years now and he gave us a  lot of inside info on some of these wonderful animals.  What a joy to spend day with family and see all these marvelous animals too.  They are wonderful creatures and we learned so much about sea stars; bat rays; killer whales, dolphins etc... they have sea turtles now too that have been given to them from confiscations of illegal catches... interesting.  A wonderful day!  A bit tired at the end but then we aren't youngsters anymore either. ha!
