First stop across the border from Nevada was the state run liquor store....stocked-up for the week....

We are neither fine diners nor bar hoppers. Contrary to perception, you can get your drink on in Utah if you so desire.

...and football seems rather unimportant today.

If I recall you were retiring in St George, was your liquor purchasing destination Mesquite?  If so did you notice anything pertaining to today's news?

Mesquite is about the only place to stop between Vegas and St.George. I guess the locals in St.George run down there (to Mesquite) because booze and wine are cheaper in Nevada. On one trip last year we got off the Interstate and drove just  a bit through Mesquite. Pretty unspectacular (a couple golf courses and a casino or two) . Quiet-ville USA.

We did the "pile everybody into a van and take a trip cross-country" when I was a kid.  Spent one day in Vegas, at the Ford dealership because we had a blowout in the Mojave the night before.  Spent a night at Valley of Fire State Park not too far off I-15.  If memory serves the water came out of the taps already hot.    Spent a day in Zion NP.  Don't recall if we stopped in St. George, although the next stop after Zion was the Four Corners.

Dad spent a good portion of the summer converting his slides into digital files.  I might actually have something to post that BK can photoshop himself into.
