The Graduation Trip-Phase 1


We slipped out of Cedar City in the early morning snow, and arrived in St. George a little early to pick up Sarah. Our drive down to Las Vegas was uneventful, and according to plan, we arrived at Trader Joe's (Sunset Road) at about 8:00 AM. Since Trader Joe's doesn't open until 9:00, we went into the former Samuel's Deli and Restaurant for breakfast. It is called Weiss Deli and Restaurant now, and we had a wonderful, and substantial breakfast, expecting this to be our only meal until we reached State College.

I told Bubby to grab one of their cards, and we will turn them in to "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives". I had a huge omelet that included spinach, mushrooms, and corned beef. I also had a wonderful bagel for my toast, and a homemade cream cheese schmeer. Babsy had an open-faced omelet with bacon, mushrooms, broccoli and swiss cheese. Bubby had French toast made from challah bread. Absolutely delightful, we were very satisfied.

We noticed this decorated window, and now know the appropriate Chanukah greeting. You would think Matt would have been using it for years, having learned it from Hinkley.

I couldn't resist this festively decked out SUV in the parking lot. I guess if Santa can't find Rudolph, he will know where to get a substitute.

We had a great time in Trader Joe's, and found those amazing stacked boxes of chocolate almonds to give to a couple of folks on our list. We also bought lots of snacks to take on the plane with us. We still haven't eaten them, because we were full from breakfast.

I also am forced to include this photo, which puts everyone on notice that Babsy has joined the cell phone fad. Yep, she is yappin' with Beany in this photo, you know, "Whacha doin'?" "Nothin', just talkin' to you", and other significant conversations.
