Las Vegas trip

Saturday we drove to Las Vegas to go to Costco. That seems like a weird way to spend time in Vegas, but we needed some stuff, we only wanted to be there a couple of hours, and we didn't want to gamble. So going to Costco and some other stores was a nice way to spend the afternoon. We also went looking for a nice place to have lunch, and found the Hash House A Go Go. Their food is good and the portions are HUGE. We ordered one pork tenderloin and had more than enough to split.

Our new GPS has some unusual traits that we haven't gotten used to yet. One is that if our car is facing one direction, she assumes we need to go that direction, even if turning around would make a lot more sense. Today that little trait got us headed out of town on the northern route, driving just south of the Nellis Air Force Base. I thought our GPS had lost its little mind when it described the landscape with a series of angles...

but it turns out the GPS was right - Nellis' border really does look like that.

But no matter which way we drive, there just isn't much to see on these roads. Good thing it's beautiful in its own way.
