We've dropped my Mom off at my sister's place for a visit, so our starting point is Bonelli Bluffs RV Resort, overlooking Puddingstone Reservoir in San Dimas, CA. I have no pictures of the campgrounds but do have one of my mom. She'd probably be mad at me if she knew I was posting this!
It just so happens that San Dimas is about 10 miles west of Ontario, where Tom lived for part of his childhood (early grade school). So Tom couldn't resist taking a trip down memory lane. As we drove slowly past Tom's childhood home, the current home owner was sitting out front and eyeing us suspiciously. Tom wanted to take a picture, so we pulled over, and Tom (of course) went over and introduced himself to the home owner. He was very kind and friendly and seemed genuinely interested to hear about how the old man in front of him lived in his house 50+ years ago. After listening to Tom's story and asking a few questions, he related a slightly shorter version to his wife, who was inside. It's always fun to revisit childhood places, which usually look very different than in your memories.
So when it's time to start our trip, our first stop is Las Vegas, NV. We're staying at the KOA at Sam's Town.
We're only here for one full day, and we decide to do something fun, so we go to see the Cirque du Soleil show, Beatles LOVE. It was bright, colorful and energetic. Really enjoyed the nostalgia of listening to authentic Beatles tunes. Oh, yeah, did I mention it was also VERY LOUD? Unbeknownst to Tom, I wore ear plugs for the whole show (and didn't miss anything)!
The next day, we're leaving to head into Utah.
