It is a sad state of affairs that we need to pass through a security check point before we get anywhere near the Hoover Dam, and another before we enter the building that contains the power plants.
We got a late start leaving Henderson because J wanted to drive down the strip and then stop at the Bellagio, because they had an art museum that she had not seen in the western hemisphere, including Dale Chehuly (not spelled correctly, I am sure) glass on the ceiling of the main lobby that (just like his other work) was spectacular. And the saving grace was Petrossian, just off the lobby. Looked for a motel at Barstow, but there was a Marine base nearby, and something was going on (deployment?), so no rooms anywhere in town. On to Victyoryville. Dinner at Barstow was Peggy Sue's 50's Dinner. Lot of fun. Photos of Annette F brought back old memories.
Arrived in San Diego early PM and checked into the Hyatt on the waterfront. Very civilized. Haated I-15 the closer we got to SD - both the road and the drivers. Had a great dinner tonight: tuna sashimi, albocore, lobster pot pie, and crab cakes that rival Baltimore. Next table was Richard B, who plays a police officer in Law and Order SVU (with Mariska - one of my favorites).
