On our way from St. George to Anaheim, Josh asked if I wanted to see the Hoover Dam. I didn't even really know where it was. I knew it was in the western part of the U.S. ...Josh knew pretty much where it was, I felt a little dumb. But he's been there before, so I didn't feel so geographically uneducated. So we put it in the GPS and realized it only added an hour to our drive (and we were doing good on time anyway). They're building a bridge that goes over the water. It's HUGE! There are a ton of cables holding things up.
The Hoover Dam is a little overwhelming. On the drive there I was getting anxious just because on movies it looks HUMONGOUS! There's a radio station you can listen to that gives you information about the tours. Literally, they have a new tour called the Dam Tour. HAHA If you've watched National Lampoon's (some vacation) they go to the Hoover Dam. The brother-in-law asks the tour guide about the dam tour and the dam bathroom, etc. It was hilarious when Josh and I heard about the new tour name. We were going to go on a tour, but there was something going on (testing or something...) so we watched a movie about the dam history and then walked through the little museum they have. We saw some dam rocks, dam water, dam wind, among many other dam things.
It was a little bright for Jaden, but inside the building, he was pretty dam happy!
