8/13 Touring around more in Vegas

After breakfast we were heading out for Walmart and pedicures. Dave asked me to stop at the office because he wanted to find out about getting a refund if we should leave early. When he got back in the jeep he was not a “happy camper”. They told him they don’t give refunds, what you paid for already is what you pay, oh crap, Dave doesn’t like to be told “No”. I said relax, we will stay until Wednesday and eat 2 days of parking, he said it was one day because it was “pay for 6 nights and get the 7th free” So if we leave Wednesday we lose the Wednesday night fee because Thursday was free, ok we can live with that, we have done much worse.

We headed for Walmart and pedicures, Dave loves pedicures so that should put him back in a good mood. His pedicure was done before mine so he even had a manicure, 1st time for him. After we were done we did a little shopping in Walmart, needed a card for someone, from our Mexico trip, they had died this morning, cancer.

After leaving we drove to the Strip and went to the Mirage Casino and walked around. There happened to be a cache on the top floor parking lot so we went there to find it and leave the last travelling bug we brought back with us. We did find it and left the bug.

I wanted to go to Circus Circus, because we haven’t been there in years. Once there we stopped and had something to eat then went and watched a Zumba Zumba act, free. There were 5 guys that had been on “America’s got Talent”, pretty darn good but a very fast act. (what do you want for free) There use to be acts going on all the time there, not no more, things have really changed.

After leaving there we headed back to the RV. Relaxed, I finished my 4th book, then got on the computer. Dave had been on his computer the whole time and watching the news. Next thing I know he says, I’ll be right back, and out the door he goes. He comes back 15 minutes later and says “we are leaving in the morning” and I said “WHAT”? He said he had gone to the office and we are now getting our money back. (I think they just wanted him gone) Dave is hating this heat so bad, he just doesn’t realize that Bakersfield is just as hot. He does know it is hot in Bakersfield too but at least there we don’t have an RV we are stuck in, a house you can move around. I don’t blame him, I can handle heat a lot better then he can, but these RV’s are not made for snow or heat waves, that’s why they have wheels, hit the road and find the weather you like.

We met up with our nephew, Michael Tomaselli, for dinner at Carrabba’s and had a very nice dinner. Loved visiting with him, can’t imagine being in his neck of the woods and people would call and come by and visit him, but yes, some relatives have done that, sorry for them it’s their loss.

After dinner Dave and I came back to the RV, called friends of ours, and while on the phone got an email that my cousin had died the  day before of skin cancer. No one had known he was sick, he hadn’t been in touch with any family members since our uncle, his Dad, had died, which is going on 4 years now. I should really say he lost contact with the family, except, once in a while, with our uncle, 20 years earlier. Long story not worth going through.

Tomorrow we are headed out to Bakersfield, still need to go to an RV park until we get set-up with electrical for the RV  at the kids house. So maybe we can move the RV to Kim’s Thursday, let us hope so.
