Nevada {50 States of Yoga}

I arrived into Las Vegas, Nevada late on Easter.  Straight to my hotel, Luxor, I checked in and wandered down to Tender, their steak and seafood restaurant to treat myself to a Sunday dinner.  I love to try "new to me" foods. I ordered their appetizer, Big-Eye Tuna.  A sampling of raw tuna served on a seaweed radish salad with soy sauce.  The tuna was amazing.  Since having tried raw tuna for the first time in Maui last summer, I order it anytime I see it on a menu.  For dinner I had the Game Tasting Trio.  Venison Osso Buco, Rocky Mountain Elk Medallion and Wild Boar Rack Chop with Farro, Fig Chutney and Red Currant Venison Reduction.

Valley of Fire State Park {Nevada}







Desert driving in our convertible!





This past weekend we spent Superbowl 49 hiking at Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada, about an hour northeast of Las Vegas.  Yeah, I am actually from New England, but football really isn't a sport we're into.  And I figured the parks would be quiet... so let's go for a hike!  Oh... and the "we" is me and my husband, Dave.  This was a weekend get-a-way for us and I did not take a yoga class while we were there... so Nevada is still yet to be checked off my 50 States of Yoga list.
