Dear Family & Friends,
Hello. How are you? This month was great. My dad and I had our Las Vegas trip this month. This trip took the place of our New York trip that was supposed to happen last year but got cancelled because of Covid-19. Uncle Darren and Tyler went with us on this trip and it was super fun. The first place that we visited on this trip was Fremont street. We went to the heart attack grill for dinner that night and it was actually pretty good. Tyler and I went ziplining on Fremont street as well which was super fun but the line for the zipline was terrible. Let's also just say that we saw a lot of unsavory individuals on this street. Overall it was awesome though.
While we were down there we went to the Chiefs and the Raiders game that was scheduled for that weekend. We stayed right across from the stadium (which you can see in the background of this picture). We found this diehard Raiders fans' car in the parking lot of the hotel which was pretty funny.
We got to see a lot of cool stuff when we were down there. We spent all of Saturday walking around the strip finding cool stuff to do there. We went to New York New York and went on the roller coaster there which was one of the best I've been on so far. We went to the Bellagio and saw the water fountain in front. For dinner that night we went to the Gordon Ramsey pub down there to eat. The food was amazing there but also pretty pricey. Probably wont be going back there for awhile. That night we went and saw a magic show performed by Matt Franco. It was awesome and super cool to see people who can do stuff like that.
We actually got really good seats at the game. We didn't go to cheer for any of the 2 teams but just to go to watch football so it was better in that way not having the disappointment of having your favorite team lose.
We went to Los Alamos for Thanksgiving this year. On the way down we stopped at Mesa Verde and checked that out. It was super cool to see. That night we stayed in Cortez, Colorado and were planning on finishing the drive the next day. The next day we finished the drive down and stopped at the four corners on the way down. It was cool to go but at the end of the day it's just a circle of the ground where you take a picture and leave.
Mom got Dad a drone for his birthday so we tested it out down in Los Alamos. It's a really nice drone and it took some awesome footage. Dad wants to bring it down to Moab in the spring for jeep safari and I think that is a great idea.
I've been busy lately with work and school but I manage. My co-workers are awesome and honestly if they left, that would be a deal breaker for me. Schools ok I guess. I hope that you all have a great December and a great Christmas season. Bye.
Love, Eric James Barnhisel
