Today is "Labor Day" ... after the holiday guess where Vegas Bob is headed?

I would like to wish everyone a wonderful "Labor Day" and the holiday weekend was very busy for me. VB's relatives from the Midwest have been in Las Vegas for several days and it is very exciting to have all of us in one area at the same time. I have really enjoyed it and will remember this "Labor Day" weekend for quite a long time. My fathers birthday is September 6th, so we had a birthday party for him Sunday and he really enjoyed it.

They are headed back to the Midwest so VB is going to get his last vacation out of the way before fall and the colder weather comes by hanging out in the Redwoods in Northern California. Take a look at this photo (above) of VB hanging out in the Redwoods and tell me he isn't having a great time.

And here is Nu Nu standing between a Redwood that had been cut within "The Avenue of GIANTS" located in Northern California. VB tries to visit the Redwoods ever year and I know they are waiting for me to visit, there have been many different weekends that I had planned to go this year and never made it. Well if I don't just in my car and drive to Northern California this year in 2011, it will bother me all Winter long so ... I will be going this week some time ... ;o)

Hi, VB -- your photos remind me of one of my own favorite places -- Sequoia National Park. I haven't made it yet to Redwoods, but would love to one day. I have been to Muir Woods, north of San Francisco a couple of times, which is also a wonderful spot. Have a great time!
