Road Trip - Temple Photos Commentary

For the rest of our trip we spent our time photographing all the temples in Utah (except Vernal), with one final stop in Las Vegas. With the exception of St. George and Vegas, it was very cold and we got caught out in the snow several times. But over all, we were fortunate to have pretty good picture taking conditions. FYI - Kris took about 99% of the temple photos...with my input, of course. I'm so bossy like that.

We had tried to plan our trip for early spring so all the flowers and trees would be in full bloom, but with all the cold weather, the flora thought it was still winter. We did get a few flowers, but the trees were pretty much bare. We'll probably try to go back next spring.

We spent the last night of our trip in Vegas, and since Kris had never been there before, we did a self-guided walking tour of the strip. We are both big fans of the Ocean's 11 movies, so a highlight for us was the Bellagio. We walked around on the casino floors and got some nocciola (hazelnut) gelato, which was awesome. We hung out on a balcony over looking the pool area...it was beautiful. It must be nice to actually be able to stay at a place like that. Topping off the experience was the fountain show out in front of the hotel. We liked it so much, we stayed for the next one.

On our way out of Vegas we made a brief stop at Hoover Dam. The drive home seemed very long, and it was great to get back home to the Trent.
