We are back from Las Vegas! We had a great time. The crazy thing about the trip was that the weather was so cold in New Mexico and Arizona, down to the 30's and unusually cool in Vegas. We had 60's in the morning and 80's during the day, beautiful weather there. When we got home our weather was rather cool, 60 in the morning and 80 or so later in the day, very nice!. No rain,dry all the way out to Vegas, and very dry here. I guess it rains every day in Southern Illinois? Iowa getting alot of rain too.
