Las Vegas, NV

LAS VEGAS.  
What happened in Las Vegas stays in Las Vegas :). 
Non-stop action 24/7. This place never sleeps.
Casinos everywhere, free drinks as long as you gamble.
Show, shows and more shows.
Ceasars Palace takes up a whole block.

It is hard to put into words all the excess and extravagance that is being displayed. The hotels lobbies are incredible beautiful.

The Olympic National Park, at the Pacific Ocean,  La Push Beach.

La Push Beach, Washington


The Olympic National Park is a place of tremendous natural diversity and breathtaking beauty with over 632,000 acres of preserved wilderness. Little has changed since its first traces as a home of Native American tribes and, later, its first settlements by Europeans in the late 1500s. President Grover Cleveland designated the Olympic Peninsula's forests as the Olympic Forest Reserve in 1897, forever preserving its serenity and majestic beauty in History. Ultimately, in 1938, President Franklin Roosevelt signed the act establishing Olympic National Park.
