Finally, some warmth in the desert - Day 55

Today is Cole's 11th birthday - Happy Birthday to Cole!
Although it is not really warm today, it is warmer - into the high 60's.
We started our day at McDonald's again, to check our email. We got the news that we will be getting a tax refund, although we don't know the amount. Hurray! It is the first time that has happened in years and years.

As we continue to eat our way across America, we at at the Lotus of Siam, a Thai restaurant that he read about in a website, Hidden Gems of Las Vegas. From the very drab outside, it is never a restaurant that we would have driven by and stopped at, unless it had been recommended. But, it was surprisingly nice inside, despite being in a very run-down strip mall. I had a wonderful yellow curry chicken dish and Mark had Thai barbecued chicken. It was really excellent.

As the temperature has finally warmed up, and the wind has diminished, we decided to go to the pool. Well, we never made it into the pool, but did have a nice dip in the hot tub.

Later, we went across the street to the same bar as two nights ago and watched the finals of the Women's NCAA, as well as a Sox-Yankees game. UConn beat Stanford in the girls' final and the Yankees beat the Sox.

Afterwards, we saw the "Fremont Street Experience" which is an hourly light show on the arched ceiling over Fremont Street. The tune of the hour was "The Day the Music Died" with images projected overhead.
