Day 151

Hoover Dam

Oct 4, 2013, 3:25 PM

Well I woke up and found a beautiful anniversary card, perfect for Vegas and perfect for me, it was pink and sequined. I have the most wonderful husband and I'm so damn lucky. My dad and Sandy reserved a minivan so we could all drive together to Hoover Dam, WOW, has that changed from when we were here ten years ago. Now there is a bridge that crosses over the Colorado River. You can go out on a walk way to get a really nice view of the dam. We had the most perfect day, it was bright and sunny and cool with a breeze. We took the Power Plant Tour and really enjoyed that. Except for the seepage of water in the tunnel part of the tour. They tell you there's nothing to worry about, it's only seepage, you only need to worry if there's a leak, but let's face it, the only difference between a leak and seepage is the amount of water making it through. It makes me nervous!! Very NERVOUS!! The tour was very informative and interesting. We even ran into a neighbor of my father and Sandy's from their neighborhood in Philadelphia taking the tour. How is that even possible? You leave home travel almost completely across the country and you find someone you know from the neighborhood. Unbelievable!!!!!! After the tour I was able to get some photos and Spanky even got some photos and a Hoover Damn pin. 

Then out to dinner. We really had a fun day, but we ended it on the early side because tomorrow the PA group heads home. Daddy and Sandy leave for the airport early and Kim, Robert, and Alex leave later in the day. It will be such a shame to see them go. Sunday Steve and I will be leaving for Flagstaff. It will be good to get on the road again.
