I've been meaning to share these photos

FOREVER.

But just haven't. 

No excuses other than - livin' life.

the

Y'all may remember that back in the late spring we enjoyed a little time in Nevada...

Craig had some work out there and I tagged along. 

 

This is the little TN

[Traveler's Notebook]

that I took along -  

I know I've shared TNs before - 

but as a re-cap -- this is NOT my scrapbook of the trip -- 

I'll complete pages with more photos and put them in our travel album...

-- And YES - I realize many of these photos are BLUR-ry [it's not your eyes!]

I took them in a hurry, as I was walking out the door one day - 

 and haven't had time for a re-take.

It is what it is -- as my sweetheart would say -- 

Still - we so enjoyed going out to Mt. Charleston 

where it was at least 50* cooler at the top!

Basically, I take the TN along and journal in it - bullet style - each night of our trip...

Things like the temps [100* - whee!], where we shop, beautiful views, etc. 

LOVED walking up to the view from the 'new' bridge. SO COOL.

I leave a space on every other page or so for a photo - 

This is a neat little park-like area RIGHT ON THE STRIP that we had never noticed before.

And tape in the maps [usually from tourist books] that we used during the trip...

[This one folds out accordion style and has photos and postcards taped inside.] 

I love that I have a pretty detailed list of what happened each day -

OUr last evening there it cooled off to the 80s and 

was nice to walk around and look at the lights -

[We enjoyed a meal at Giada's, but honestly thought the food at 

Bobby Flay's Mesa Grille was SO MUCH better!]

 You can see that not every page is completely filled - so I fill it in with scrapbook stuff when I get home -- these are actual tickets we got during a work reception one night --

And yes, I've been known to keep my key and tape it in also --

Along with photos taken from our hotel room...

Extra pages are filled with photos - 

These from the Mars Cactus Garden, and Old hotels in the Boulder City area...

I always like to get at least one photo of us in the plane...

And I'll tape just about anything in the book that I think is fun - 

Plane cookies - shaped like planes? 

Yes, please.

With another photo taped to the back of the packaging.

Obviously - acid free is not my concern...

The last pages were filled with additional photos - 

including one of my favorite plants under our little light in our yard...

Welcome Home.

-- Would love to see how y'all use TNs in your travels!
