Las Vegas - Prayer



This blog is usually about fun places I love to go to in Southern California, but today I am adding Las Vegas to this blog.  I also have a blog encouraging regular exercise, but again I took a break and mentioned the tragedy in Las Vegas.  Here is what I wrote:

My regular exercising has been on hold while I helped my mom on a recent trip to Las Vegas.  I found myself driving south on Las Vegas Blvd.  There is no way to convey how overwhelming it is to drive by the memorial tributes that have been left in honor of the victims.  I was driving down to say a few prayers for everyone involved in the tragedy.  I ended up seeing the tributes and a parking space simultaneously.  Parked and prayed amongst strangers unable to make sense up the magnitude of grief.

As this blog is about exercise, health, and positive attitude, today I am changing it up to take a moment to reflect.  Las Vegas is struggling with extraordinary grief.  There is nothing I can do but pray for all involved.

As the sign says Roger's Gardens has nursery, patio, landscape, home accents, gifts, and holiday items.  The Farmhouse is a restaurant located within Roger's Gardens.  The restaurant is fantastic.  Reservations are a good idea. The real beauty of the place are the many paths wondering through the nursery. There are so many little gems like the Farmhouse Restaurant in Newport Beach, it is fun to have a blog to show them off.

Canada! Oh Canada! Niagara Falls - Epic!!!

OMG!!  Niagara Falls is amazing!!  It was awe-inspiring.  There aren't enough words to describe how wonderfully beautiful it is.  I took many many photos but the one posted here is from the window table at the restaurant second level.  Magical.  Canadians are so proud of there falls, and rightly so.  I'm going to try to post a 12 sec video, so I hope it works. If given the opportunity to see this wondrous sight - do it. We were staying in Toronto downtown area, in late December.  Fairmont Royal York Hotel - Loved it. This is a photo of the hotel when we checked in at 11:00 pm.  Helpful hint they have room service at that hour.  Yay!! The hotel is located across the street from the train station and a few blocks from the CN tower. To get to Niagara Falls, we hiked up to the bus terminal and took a megabus to the falls.  It was reasonably priced. We thought this was cute.  Hiking up to bus terminal, here is an early morning photo of an ice rink.
