Las Vegas Again!

July 16 - 21

Sunday, July 16 we took off for Las Vegas for the second time this summer. Don, along with Andrea and Jay conducted two days of youth camps. Sunday evening we watched the USAB Men's Olympic team defeat Spain.  We stayed at The Cosmopolitan and enjoyed a steak dinner at Gallager's and Chilean sea bass at Joe's. 

Don in Mexico

Don conducted a two day camp in Austin, TX then headed to Mexico to do several days of coaching clinic and then several days of camp for youngsters.

Moving CO to IA

We SOLD our downtown Colorado Springs loft. I flew to Colorado as Don left for the first session of Snow Valley. I spent the week packing, dropping stuff at Goodwill, and having lunch with my dear friends. Thursday, July 1 Don arrived via an unusual flight pattern (Moline to Denver and then rented car to COS). Friday morning we returned the rented car and picked up the Penske rental truck. At 9:00 our hired movers loaded the truck and by 12:30ish we were off to Iowa. I drove our Mercy Milan behind Don in the truck. Waze took us a new route and it was stress free as we stayed off the busy interstates much more than usual. Two way highways through the Kansas wheat fields was delightful. At 3 AM we pulled into our Iowa home. After a much needed sleep, the hired movers arrived at 10:00 to unload.  A couple hours later we returned the rental truck and treated ourselves to a DQ!

Goodwill drop off!

My view for 12 + hours!

Iowa garage!

The following weeks were spent unpacking, selling off some furniture, making more trips to Goodwill, and rearranging things in the Iowa home!  WE DID IT!
