Oh, The Places You'll Go!!

Because of having "feet in our shoes" and "brains in our heads" - 
Parker and I embarked upon a fun little "get-away" to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, St. George, Ut. to meet up with Chris and Kent, Rob and “Alladin”, then off to Vegas, Baby!! To see Aaron DeJesus as he starred in Jersey Boys!!  We watched it with Rob and Tom and Gail.
Warning: Verbal Travel ramblings ahead......
  So the North Rim:  A bucket list thing. We had never been to the North Rim.  I was interested.  We were heading to Vegas and so, decided to start with this.  We stayed at the Lodge in Jacob Lake, rustic, but comfortable.  We drove over 40 miles from there to the north rim.  Well worth it! So different from the South Rim.  Y'all might need to add it to your list of stuff you need to do.  

WE then drove to St. George and met up with Chris and Kent and had lunch.  The she and I did some antique -ing and quilt showing.  Kind of fun.  Then Since it was Kent’s Birthday we had dinner with them and some friends and then Rob showed up and off we went to “Alladin” at Tuachan. I will share a private critique upon request.

Got to see Tyler and Brittney and their two little kids, but briefly!  Then drove off to Vegas, where we picked up Gail and Tom,  then had lunch at a 
Diner’s Drive In's and Dives place -  food was unusual, but yummy and Parker was like a rooster that he found it!!!

Then we checked in & hustled off to the show to watch Jersey boys.  O.K. so the language is a little “blue”, but the story is redeeming and Aaron DeJesus is wonderful!!! Really a special treat for us to be there for this special performance.  It pleased him,  that we made the effort to come. We really were amazed at how incredible the music is.  I may need to see it again.  Tom and Gail had JB in London so they were loving life.
 Next morning after goodbye with T&G we were off to the other side of town for 
“Hash House A Go Go” for breakfast.  They say their type of food is twisted farm food.  It was yummy and huge.  Look up the menu, unbelievable.

Another round of goodbye with Aaron and their darling baby, Lydia.  
WE drove home without incident and I listened to the CD of Jersey Boys while I drove.  
Really good times.

Join us next time will you?
