Five wonderful days!
2/17/23 - 2/22/23
Drove down Thursday after school and spent the night at Fairfield Inn and Suites by Marriott at Dulles Airport (23000 Indian Creek Dr., Sterling, VA 703-435-5300) They actually answer the phone themselves! Parked my car there and took the shuttle, which leaves every 30 minutes beginning at 4:30 am until midnight. Breakfast begins at 5 am and is everything anyone might want! Note: Pickup was quick and easy. I ended up spending the night here upon my return, leaving at 5 am and heading righ
Flight out of Dulles (lots of walking, but a great place to fly to and from) on United, nonstop, leaving around 8 am, arriving in Vegas about 10:30 their time. Picked up by Fran and Terry and we had the whole rest of the day to have fun!
Did so many things this week!
Two quilt shops: Christmas Goose and Sew Yeah.
Two shoe shops: DSW and Desert Birkenstock. Purchased a new pair of shoes at each!
Three movies: Missing, Marlowe, and A Man Called Otto, all at South Point.
One show: Van Gogh Immersion Exhibit at Aria - WOW!!
Chinese New Year exhibit at the Conservatory at Bellagio - Year of the Rabbit!
Casino fun: Four times at South Point (love those free margaritas and the Roulette "slot" machine!)
Meals out and meals in. So much fun sitting around the kitchen island eating salad, warm bread, fruit, decadent deserts from bakeries and Whole Foods and chatting...
Enjoying the outdoors: Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument AND Desert National Wildlife Refuge

 |
| Year of the Rabbit at Bellagio Conservatory. We are able to hit this every year we've been to Vegas in February together - quite a few years' worth now! |
 |
| Love the Conservatory flowers! |
 |
| You don't see this signage every day... |
 |
| Las Vegas mountains. Everywhere. Gorgeous. These are ones that are nearest to the Ranger Station at the Wildlife Preserve. |
 |
| Time to go home. At the airport. I never take selfies, but this was too tempting. |
 |
| Bye-bye Vegas. One last look at the strip out the plane window. |
