Welcome to Veronica’s #WritersDiary, Week 13

Lots of fun getting back into the swing of home life/writing life after the trip to Las Vegas and our anniversary this past Sunday. The weather is cooling down a bit each day, helping me to pretend a cool autumn is fast approaching, even if it is still 85 degrees outside during the day (I’ll take anything under 90 in a flash).  I’m starting to take out my boots, anxious at least for the nights when it is cool enough to wear them. They’re getting a good dust off and polish as I start to plan my fall attire (which for me here in southern California is still summer attire with a pair of boots on—a girl can dream though).

I am changing the schedule and format for future posts starting next week (see below). Time to refresh and reboot for the next season. Today I thought I’d show some more of the pictures and video clips I took on our Las Vegas trip (the only city I know where you can go around the world just walking along the Las Vegas strip) and anniversary dinner at the Ritz Carlton on the cliffs of Laguna Niguel. You’ll also get a sneak peak of the house decorated in its Halloween glory (yes I know Halloween is still 6 weeks away). It’s Thursday, time for Dear Diary:

Las Vegas at Night:

Paris casino Eiffel Tower

We had dinner at the lovely Eiffel Tower restaurant which is located on the 2nd floor 9in homage to the Jules Verne restaurant at the ‘real’ Eiffel Tower in Paris.

Las Vegas High Roller Wheel

Just like the London eye, you can ride in the attached pods for a 30 minute experience to see the sites and lights of Las Vegas like no other.

 

Bellagio fountains and light show are one of a kind…

This was a view of the fountains from the Eiffel Tower restaurant across the strip. Fountains and lights show run every 30 minutes, spectacular to see

 

Gondolas in the Venice canals at the Venetian Hotel

Love this view of the ‘canals’, and yes you do get singing when you go on a gondola ride
