A stunning desert sunrise greeted us on our first day. Little did we know we were in for 36 degree heat and wind that felt like it was coming out of a hair drier
Hoover Dam

Our little road trip kicks off with a visit to the famous Hoover Dam. Unbelievable and breathtaking!
Hackberry General Store

On the iconic Route 66 the Hackberry General Store is a real peak into the history of this famous driving route.
Route 66!

A major bucket list item. We drove 40 miles of the mother road!! So iconic and what a way to cross the state!
Road Trip Lunch

A cracking lunch at a proper American Diner just outside the Grand Canyon National Park
The Grand Canyon

Such an impressive site it is hard to describe. Enormous, beautiful, awesome, breathtaking and there were elk!

From the Belagio Fountains to Paris, to New York the strip at night is something to behold
The most iconic sign!!

Walking in 35 degree heat for 2 miles to catch a glimpse of the famous sign!!
A vegas wedding anyone??

Chuffed to have found this Vegas Wedding Chapel. The chapel built in 1942 is the oldest structure on the strip. So many starts have happened here!
