Summer of Travel, Part 8

Not long after arriving back in Las Vegas, hubby took off on his own trip, and my dad came to town for a bit of father-daughter bonding. Vegas is a wonderful place for visitors; there's never a lack of anything to do. During the summer, however, the temperature tends to stay above 100 degrees. Sitting by the pool or getting out of town is the only way to combat the heat. Take a look at these pictures as they tell the first part of Dad & Daughter's Summer Vacation!

Going out at nighttime is best to explore Vegas. When the sun goes down, the lights come on, and it feels like Christmas all year around!

Spending the days at a private pool are also good! This week, I happened to be house-sitting, too! Enjoying a life of luxury is occasionally okay, right? 

We took in a Las Vegas 51's game on Sunday night....

...But it was so hot, we only lasted a few innings!

Off we went to Los Angeles to beat the heat, visit with a few of Dad's colleagues and enjoy an evening in Pasadena!

 A beautiful, quaint, quiet city. Old Town Pasadena is full of little shops and restaurants... 


And great local beer!

It was a beautiful stroll back to the hotel...

And the next morning, we realized we were staying right next to the Rose Bowl! Too bad college football season hadn't started!
