So many roads were closed and I was grateful I didn't have to get caught up in that. The roads were mostly dry and I didn't have to worry or slow down for the snow.<br /><br />I arrived in Las Vegas Sunday evening and got settled into where I had been invited to stay on Spencer Street.

I am not sure how I have never been here before... this restaurant is open 24 hours and the menu was extensive. I really wanted to try the Noodle Meatball soup and I'm glad I did. I could have gotten a bigger bowl of it and been fine. But my eyes saw other foods on the menu that I knew I had to try. Plus the soup had onions in it unfortunately so I had to eat around those.

Oh my. I always think I like this Hollandaise sauce and then I get it and am just like oh, okay. Maybe I feel like it doesn't have much flavor or something. But underneath that yellow sauce were 2 English muffins, 2 hashbrown-style pancakes, 2 slices of Canadian Bacon, and scrambled eggs. Plus a cup of fruit on the side. All so good, so filling, and this lasted me 2 more meals!<br /><br />Moving on to the next morning...we left the room after a nice little breakfast with our rolling bags, snacks, and sandwiches for lunch.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3840" data-original-width="2160" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIFqzGppOQyvE41VrT-P_7MvFhQQ0jOQZEHr-YXV6fQkkISOlZHYD2Ai1cfkE75TX4QGYBIvFUgNcSGc3n-2RJkLlajBQIQ81VznO7TS-j_xN4z1z9KPcFnmLUR73eZlfXI44vMnIzECSLGgnxroM53qH-N7Nyi3-6czzZK4NZHoYemi0aHIPMXmle/w225-h400/Snapchat-574974437.jpg" width="225" /><br /><br />Here we go!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2160" data-original-width="3840" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS3B7D_klp6XWIFO4KAvGDIHQuf5tfjSYET1xug6EV05OTCkRkwCw0UKOguUxIMH2yXHbaHSm6PnwrN72xuwZfi4zbVBXB4v39hRFK5uFpNXc7Qq_22YDjCAcVifJOJYWSd6FyLdry-GNHwTEYHE8CWjzme1pVPTTkoridpfNutV1r3ckobSGWwhUB/w400-h225/Snapchat-463612214.jpg" width="400" /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The <b><a href="https://asdonline.com/" target="_blank">ASD show</a></b> is for vendors to go and sell their items at wholesale prices to people who have shops, businesses, etc. Everything you could think of was located in the Las Vegas Convention Center.

It was like Amazon in real life or something. It was crazy to me that there were people there who had their <i>whole </i>booth for sale. I have no idea how much booths were selling for but how wild is that. Go to ASD, buy a booth (like a mini store), and then continue to sell the items or pack them up and take them to wherever you are going to sell them next. Online?

It's a fun experience with a few cool perks. Be aware, you do need to pay for parking. I ended up parking at the garage for City Creek mall and it's free for the first 2 hours then $2/hr after that. I think the most I paid was about $12.

now the final day at girls camp at Diaz Lake. I finally got a good
night of sleep with no bugs. Hooray! It seemed to warm up even faster
than the previous day and all the shade tents had been taken down and

teardrop camper where it was slightly cooler and I had some shade.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span></span></div><a href="http://redcherries22.blogspot.com/2021/06/ward-girls-camp-final-day.html#more">Read more »</a>Stacie S-Hhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05316646996860200449noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1240699908453666862.post-50830724314139023612021-06-21T11:42:00.004-06:002021-06-21T11:42:47.809-06:00Ward Girls Camp ~ Day 3<p> <span style="font-family: arial;"><br></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvgyQSJyWrBYli1yYzcEabfIZni3ZlVWC8fNPeeIvXo5tFP8Mckw_uZB_-79lWNL7SQTAzWXXNSH8GVe_MtpQgyX2sw0iexF1EeTiO7EUf6E-SCeH5cKlDjXJ-pF-Aycno5lEh_UCK5hI/s320/20210616_091442.jpg"></span></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> The
previous night, I made a bad mistake of hanging one of my solar
lanterns in my teardrop so I could find it easily in the night. The
teardrop was full of gnats when I got in for the night! I spent too long
trying to kill them with wet wipes and finally fell asleep in
exhaustion with my hat pulled down over my face, my shirt pulled up over
my hat and wet wipes to cover my ears. Ugh. It was not fun. But check
out this cool bridge from the parking lot into the tent area of camp.
You can see my teardrop there, so small, in the middle of the photo.</span></p><span style="font-family: arial;"></span><a href="http://redcherries22.blogspot.com/2021/06/ward-girls-camp-day-3.html#more">Read more »</a>Stacie S-Hhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05316646996860200449noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1240699908453666862.post-86475910786236848342021-06-20T15:59:00.001-06:002021-06-20T15:59:06.481-06:00Ward Girls Camp ~ Day 2<p> </p><div><p style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: helvetica;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDwAabeJCSebOTatDgtITcJ2mJBhqiee0Wc_JEgJ7iizz0-z7Hk3_Gevv9EvOPeWO-UI63TFDIh-MXMfVj-ZQ4yj9EJwjeo5uQSCgmhkbvCX7uqWKsAWG5vVZWLOAlOIeUrwvhtvAEOuw/s4032/20210615_144103.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDwAabeJCSebOTatDgtITcJ2mJBhqiee0Wc_JEgJ7iizz0-z7Hk3_Gevv9EvOPeWO-UI63TFDIh-MXMfVj-ZQ4yj9EJwjeo5uQSCgmhkbvCX7uqWKsAWG5vVZWLOAlOIeUrwvhtvAEOuw/w400-h300/20210615_144103.jpg" width="400"></a></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> Tuesday
was a hiking day so we could get out of the heat for a majority of the
day! Woo-hoo! At over 10,000 feet up, this was going to be a much better
temperature than at the campsite. I was looking forward to getting
outside and moving my body again in a hiking type of way. I brought 2
hiking sticks and shared one with my friend Heather. The road up to the
top of the mountain was steep switchbacks. She did a great job managing
to get us all up there safely in her sweet ride.<br></span></p></div><a href="http://redcherries22.blogspot.com/2021/06/ward-girls-camp-day-2.html#more">Read more »</a>Stacie S-Hhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05316646996860200449noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1240699908453666862.post-64038064705685540152021-06-19T01:14:00.001-06:002021-06-19T01:14:06.671-06:00Ward Girls Camp ~ Day 1<div style="text-align: right;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br></span></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9UM-1usVz7ZQIPs8Z9BCVoHrY_rwPIsH2Oqfq-MNDSHT2Czi_GPnGg3CVpPk-raNDhFaIyBbiHgHrabb7803mvnTtQmXXiE3oXI23EsYFg2OKtDhRAmpnClxQ5SbOKoLOog0zkMWr7Oo/w400-h300/20210614_141548.jpg" width="400"> <br></span></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">It
happened. It finally happened. After months of planning, Zoom meetings,
changes, adjustments, trying to collect paperwork and figure out rides
for everyone - ward girls camp for the 2nd ward and Lone Pine branch
happened this past week. I was so so nervous leading up to camp with not
knowing what to expect. I've never been to this campground before. I've
never ever done a ward girls camp before, only stake. I was nervous
about the lack of bathrooms and the heat.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"></span></p><a href="http://redcherries22.blogspot.com/2021/06/ward-girls-camp-day-1.html#more">Read more »</a>Stacie S-Hhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05316646996860200449noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1240699908453666862.post-59720811388849043042021-03-31T10:53:00.002-06:002021-03-31T10:54:13.444-06:00My Experience at Touch of Disney<p><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_M522cxKsaEGT0aMUhM41R0LYGMLSGwrufSQrHjN7lBWo0ujPg4i9SJqWL5r7nB9ljSQARTWnLjj98xGBn3MiIuJqAaD71kq2E8ko4CE-jKb6PetSdEOAUVh8hta79ksAoFvv1fQ_qK4/s625/touchofdisney1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><img border="0" data-original-height="625" data-original-width="469" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_M522cxKsaEGT0aMUhM41R0LYGMLSGwrufSQrHjN7lBWo0ujPg4i9SJqWL5r7nB9ljSQARTWnLjj98xGBn3MiIuJqAaD71kq2E8ko4CE-jKb6PetSdEOAUVh8hta79ksAoFvv1fQ_qK4/w300-h400/touchofdisney1.jpg" width="300"></span></a></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I figured I needed to blog about this event at California Adventure called <b><a href="https://disneyland.disney.go.com/events-tours/a-touch-of-disney/" target="_blank">Touch of Disney</a></b> sooner than later so I didn't forget any details. My friend Mari and I were able to go together which I was really happy about! We had limited days we could go but Thursday worked best for our schedules so I picked Mari up by 9:30 and we started the drive. It takes about 3 hours to get to Anaheim from Ridgecrest. We stayed busy chatting pretty much the whole way.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another year, another great time being able to attend CES. I drove to Vegas Monday night and stayed with my friend Emily. I picked up my friend Marie at the airport and everything worked out so perfectly with that which I was relieved about. Usually, the Las Vegas airport is pretty lowkey and easy to navigate through compared to other airports I've been to. We dropped off our belongings at the resort - they were so kind to let us check in early! Summoned a Lyft ride and we were on our way to the Sands hotel to start our day.</span></div>
