Im gonna start from the beginning and talk about the high lights of my trip! So I don't know how long this will take, a couple of posts I guess but there were some really fun memorable moments that I want to write about.
The Hoover Dam!
I was absolutely astonished at the grandeur and marvelous architecture of this project. Even more so that it was built in the 1930's! I had seen it on tv and knew what it looked like but being there was amazing and I cannot believe that men were able to build this. I really liked the feel of it, even though the heat was way to extreme to be out there more than 15 minutes, it was so fun to be able to stand there and admire tons of concrete that could build an interstate highway from L.A. to Boston! I have this thing about huge amounts of concrete and metal together, for some reason, it just creeps me out, it really is like phobia, like bridges and stuff, but this dam felt so peaceful, and The Colorado River is beautiful.
Here is my lovely sister and me trying to find shade away from the sun that felt like it was grilling us, and my dad pretending to almost jump, because he is convinced that people have jumped from the dam and he thinks its funny, and for some reason there was a sign going in to the bridge to cross over to Arizona that said, stay in cars... like who would dare to get out of their car, it's creepy! and there was also a sign that said heat kills... I thought that was pretty funny too ha!
