Wally World Adventure

A few days before our big trip to Cali we were at Cowabunga Bay and over the loud speaker they announce that all season pass holders can use their passes at the Cowabunga Bay in Vegas.  I talk to Bart and we decide that it would be fun to stop in Vegas and stretch our legs on a few water slides.

The plan was to leave early Saturday morning but plans changed as Bart decided to cash in to a few hour comp time he needed to use so we set out Friday afternoon.  Our first stop was a quick visit to see my Grandma Morrell.  It's been a couple of years since I've seen him but he is just as sharp as he ever has been.

We spend the night in Mesquite.  Jane my early bird had us all up at 6 due to a "starving stomach" that was going to kill her if she didn't eat something ASAP.   We all got up stuffed ourselves at the Casino Buffet and set off to Vegas.    Cowabunga Bay wasn't set to open until 10:30 so we had an hour to kill so we drove down the strip and went in to the Bellagio and looked around at their latest Garden creation.

Soon we were on our way to the water park but when we got there we the parking lady informed us that Cowabunga Bay was closed today due to the inclement weather.    Really?  It was just cloudy but I guess in Vegas clouds warrant a complete shut down.   It felt a little like the National Lamboon's vacation when the get to Wally World to see it was closed.  Oh well!  We set off again to our final destination Carlsbad.

As we pulled up Matt and Ally were loading up for a ward surfing party at the Beach.    We tagged along and got to hang out with this cutie.
