Phoenix - July 2023: Day 2 Hot

Sunday, July 16, 2023

When I was 2 years old Mom and Dad and I flew to Las Vegas to visit my aunt, uncle, and cousins. I actually have a few very vague memories of this trip. One of them was of a very huge stuffed animal in one of my cousin's bedrooms that rather scared me. Mom says she remembers that it got up to 112 degrees that trip. I didn't see it higher than that today on my phone weather app however the reading at the house was 114. 

Leaving Las Vegas

Monday, April 5, 2021

Hearty breakfast at America at New York, New York. Left Las Vegas at about 10:00 am and made it to Brenda and Irv's around 4:30 pm. Nice to see their new house in Sun City West. We sat and caught up in their lovely back yard and had brats for dinner. Above photo taken on the part of our drive through California. 

Las Vegas - Frankie's Tiki Room

Saturday, April 3, 2021

Tonight we made a stop at Frankie's Tiki Room.

Dale got a beer and I got the Surf Dragon and of course I bought the mug. 

It's a pretty damn cool mug.

Above is a description of the Surf Dragon from Frankie's menu. It was most awesome. 

The bar wasn't crowded which was great because smoking is allowed. 

Service was attentive and friendly. 

Interesting that the dragon tiki mug photographed as green in the above photo...

...when it's actually and orangy-brown. 

We had a great time. Can't wait to go back.
