When Arizona and Alaska Meet

Steve and I have some very good friends, Wandal and Martha Winn from Alaska. Wandal and Steve were roommates at BYU freshman year. Martha was also attending BYU. Once a year we try to get together for an adventure and this was no exception.

We started off meeting in Las Vegas for the show "O" at the Bellagio. It is always incredible.

Friday we headed to Zion National Park and did a little hiking (even Steve). The scenery was beautiful and we saw lots of deer and wild turkey. On the way in we stopped for lunch that ended with Bumbleberry pie, sort of a tradition. Friday evening I finally got to attend a concert at an amphitheater in the red rock near the entrance to Snow Canyon called Tuacan. It was so cold even with our stop at Wal-Mart for gloves, beenies and a blanket but I loved it anyway. We saw Peter Brienholt and Randy Shuppe.

Saturday we were able to visit with Darwin and Dorothy (Steve's dad) and we were able to wish him a Happy 94th birthday which is today 11/15/2009.

Saturday we were back in Las Vegas to see the Donny & Marie show. I actually held Donny's hand twice as he walked down our table. Back in the early 70's that would have thrilled me, OK so I was thrilled now! Great show that I highly recommend to everyone. Steve got great seats for both shows.

Back to work tomorrow. Enjoy the pictures!
