Finally the weather we thought we escaped caught us – after full stomach after unlimited Sushi house at LV, we arrived at the airport on time and noticed our flight back to Seattle got delayed (total 2.5 hours) – which was better than the last flight which got cancelled straight.

(Meanwhile during the flight the destination was showing off some west coast of Africa haha ๐Ÿ™‚ ) Meanwhile at Seattle snow welcomed us ๐Ÿ™‚ to remind this is mid winter break..

I-15 Las Vegas to Barstow

I think I have passed this road maybe 3 times in my life but I don’t remember any sceneries of the road

First was after spending all night by walking the entire strip and I was a shot-gun so half sleeping :). Second was the time when the entire sceneries was covered with snow. and Last time I was simply driving at night to LA so all I remember is full darkness.

Original plan was cutting thru Mojave but the road was closed for several days ๐Ÿ˜ฆ so had to take a detour via Freeway but at least I got the skimming taste of Mojave desert. ๐Ÿ™‚

Found out there is another branch of the ‘jewel’ we found at last trip to LV at unexpected place (Casino floor of Resort World)- Tiger Sugar on Spring Mountain Street so made a stop over and grabbed one.

(Looks like they opened up one in Downtown Seattle last summer)

As one night was scheduled in Italy’s watertown, walked the strip by passing thru place of pinky birds while watching roman empire, and marched into Paris and French village, then passed thru some cosmopolitan looking buildings, then finally walked thru New York – just to let the kids to have a roller coaster ride which I always think the riders should get paid instead of paying as they are becoming the iconic watch for other tourists ๐Ÿ™‚

Found an interesting Cafe whose interior is primarily about early 20C of Korea or old Chosun Kingdom/short lived Korean Empire – Historical fact is the King/Emperor was known as a coffee lover.

Anyhow – old Korean King/Emperor’s picture in a coffee shop in the desert or manmade oasis.. What a “lit” idea.. ๐Ÿ™‚

Weird enough – British chef branded restaurant at Paris hotel – first kind of fine dining with family setting (hungry and furious 2 boys) made me worry about the amount of food being enough or not during the whole dinner (back up was midnight Taco run) but luckily was good enough and tasted good.
