Nevada

As I mentioned yesterday, Lisa and I are taking a few days in Las Vegas for a conference. For dinner tonight, we ventured away from the Strip to check out the Fremont Street Experience, which is a pedestrian mall in a more historic part of the city.

Lisa and I are in Las Vegas for a few days while she attends a conference. We had a bit of extra time this morning, so we visited Valley of Fire State Park, about an hour north of the city.

Most of us who live in the Pacific Northwest find that there’s eventually a time when you gotta get out of town and find some sun and warmth for a few days. Lisa and I hit that point recently and so we booked ourselves a trip to the Baja Peninsula in Mexico.

Yesterday, we drove from Reno to Half Moon Bay, California, by way of the south side of Lake Tahoe. Today, we drove back into San Francisco for some shopping and a big-city experience.

Our time in Salt Lake City has come to an end and we’re making our home by way of the California coast.

There are … more efficient … ways to get from Salt Lake to Park City. But … why? You’d miss out on some amazing scenery.

This was a day for moody cloudscapes and quiet contemplation.

The schedule: Two different sets of meetings at company headquarters in San Jose with a long weekend in between. I’ve long been curious about Salt Lake City, so I drove there for the weekend.
