Thanksgiving in Vegas and Black Canyon Raft Trip

We spent Thanksgiving weekend in Las Vegas, driving down right before a blizzard hit Utah.  Cindy and Brian drove down after the blizzard arriving Thanksgiving afternoon.  Our dinner was of course a Vegas buffet but there were all the Thanksgiving day trimmings. 

Some of the highlights of the trip were playing games, rides and watching circus acts at Circus Circus, seeing Penn and Teller, and best of all for me and Lindsey was going on a raft ride on the Colorado River with Cindy and Brian.  The raft ride started at Hoover Dam and went through the Black Canyon.  We even saw some desert bighorn sheep.

On the drive home Sunday we got caught in a snow storm and ended up spending the night in Fillmore.  It's no fun driving on snowpacked roads at 20 to 30 mph especially after dark.  The next morning the roads were clear and it was smooth sailing the rest of the way home.
