Day 48 – Nellis AFB (Las Vegas) NV

My alarm woke me at 10. It was another hot day, but slowly getting cooler. It is hard to imagine saying that 102 is cooler. At noon we went to meet our friends the Irvins that we hadn’t seen in 18 years at a restaurant called Famous Dave’s. It was fun seeing the ‘kids’ with their kids. We spent the next hour sharing The Feast – a barbecue sampler platter and trying to catch up on all that time.

We eventually parted ways when the little ones (who had been quite good) started getting restless. We will meet the parents again on Tuesday night for drinks before we leave Las Vegas on Wednesday. On the way home we went in the main base, got gas for the Tracker, and went to the BX for batteries for our portable fan.

I worked on some photos before I succumbed to the urge for a nap. Bill went to Walmart for tomatoes and bread for BLTs for dinner.

It was a nice pleasant day. Tomorrow we may wait until it cools off a little and then head back down to the Strip to look at a few more hotels.
