I am Your Sunshine

A huge slack of our schedule but with bellies fully content, we took off at 10pm. Didn’t even have time for our planned grocery shopping. In the darkness we sped through the desert, leaving the ever glittering lights of Vegas behind. Prius is a fun car to ride in. I glared at the digital thermometer, announced from time to time excitedly the temperature outside. “Twenty something… Fifteen! Wow wow wow seven degree Fahrenheit!” And was I thrilled to see roadside leftover snow. By the time we passed the dam and got to Courtyard it was already 1:30am Pacific time (2:30a local.) The hotel was quiet with a hint of eerie. The receptionist lady emerged from the back room a moment after we stationed ourselves in front of the front desk and greeted us with an enthusiasm matched the hour, “Glad you can make it.” She said.
