I'm glad you included Red Rock Canyon, because we stayed near there some years ago. Lots of good memories. I'm a Canadian and now we're watching the first Las Vegas professional hockey team playing in the Stanley Cup Finals. Several of the Golden Knights are from Canada, so we are fans because we recognize the names! <br />Did your mother enjoy sports events...betting on sports events? She sounds like quite the wonderful character, and it seems you all have such good memories of her.<br />I lost my parents a few years ago. Had they lived, they'd be 94 now, still younger than your mother! I'm sure you'll treasure the memories.<br />At the risk of boring you, I have one more story: I have a brother who is 21 years younger than I am, and until he reached high school he used to spend winters in Mexico with Mom and Dad. When he was about 3, Mom and Dad and my grandparents drove down to Baja together, and stopped to see the Grand Canyon. The little guy was impressed with his first view of it, but when they stopped again, he looked at it and said, "Still the same old hole!"<br />Kay<br />An Unfittie's Guide to Adventurous TravelKay L.

You are about 2 hours from me in NC. I live 10 minutes from downtown Wilmington and I do love living here. I lived all my life in New York which I loved but I am so much happier here and having a very long summer compared to a very long winter!Life Of 2 Snowbirdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04671929539494372073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3386251343562724408.post-53587466439637432792017-09-14T15:49:12.713-04:002017-09-14T15:49:12.713-04:00I love North Carolina.

We traveled all over the west when we could, and saw some amazing and beautiful places! I hope you are liking North Carolina! What part are you in? I am right outside Raleigh, in Garner.

I lived in Las Vegas for about 30 years, and another 5 years in Utah, before moving to North Carolina.I think Las Vegas is absolutely beautiful, as is the rest of the state. The mountains are awesome, and it looks like you saw some of the best places!

The Grand Canyon is definitely on our list - my husband wants to do the helicopter tour that includes the Hoover Dam...I'm not sure...!!
