So we rode the tram to the Bellagio to see the latest garden...
This is Jean Phillipe's Chocolate store.... In Easter mode...
Space bunnies and ship are all out of chocolate!

When we got to the garden... we were surprised! Stripped!!!!! Everything that was there in November was gone... Even the windows were removed from the Orchid greenhouse!

Workmen were trying to reposition one of the branches back onto the redecorated tree. They were having a terrible time getting the steel rods to fit back into place.
Here is another branch to be put up on the tree. We were wondering what the new look would be.... When we got to the hotel lobby, there were pictures of what would be coming...
A Ferris Wheel...
Carousel.
But, this was the sight today....
On the way home, Lyle pulled off the road just before Barstow to see the Calico Early Man Site... Note that is is not open on Tuesday....the day we decided to stop! Went up the dirt road to the gate... but could not see anything. I guess it will be a destination on another day... but not in the summer!

Desert landscape with trails.... Now who walks all over this place to make trails???? What are they doing?
Dirt road!
Lyle drove the entire way home! We had such a great time!
So Nice to get away for a little trip!
