Southwest Vacation, Day 9+

We drove to Las Vegas and spent the rest of the vacation there. Julie had friends of hers visit and they went to various clubs around Vegas. She also got her first taste of gambling (and losing money). The older folk did our typical shopping and touring of the various hotels. We managed to see one show, "Tony and Tina's Wedding." The girls and Frankie saw "The Blueman Group." Caroline flew back early so she could go back to work. We managed to spend too much money on some art for our new entry.
While driving to "Tony and Tina's Wedding", the 'burb', which had been performing flawlessly, starting having overheating problems again. To be fair, it was 120 in Las Vegas. John and I drove it over to Henderson, where we'd had the window fixed a couple years ago at an earlier Las Vegas vacation, and had them take a look. It turns out the cause of all the grief was the radiator cap's spring had worn and could no longer hold the pressure. The water was boiling over and leaving steam in the line, which caused the original hose to burst. They replaced the cap and to date, the 'burb' is still running fine and it still has that makeshift hose between the water pump and the engine.
We returned on a Friday, had Saturday to recuperate, and then I was off on business travel again on Sunday. Life goes on. Our eagle was delivered while I was gone. Vacation is over, and dollars gone. Time to save up for the next vacation.
