Lost Wages!!! But not mine!

Well, all of you are probably thinking...another vacation???? It sure helps to shorten the winter a bit, but part of me is thinking, it should be spring already! This going back and forth from winter to summer to winter to spring isn't working right with my mind. Enough with the snow...I'm ready for something else again. I think you'd say "I'm spoiled"...and you'd be right!!
But it's been a dream of Abe's to see Hoover Dam...and so we tagged on a few days of sight seeing and soaking up the sun and being lazy. I was somewhat blown away by the vision and execution of the dream in the building/construction of Hoover Dam. Anyone into that kind of stuff, should go see it and the 'building video' we got to see...impressive. We also headed out to the Valley of Fire State Park and it was lovely...half way into the walking around and I started wondering if all the tunnel or holes we were seeing were snakes' caves...yikes...suddenly the car seemed like a good place to be!!! We stayed at a very nice resort...offered many good activities and rides to places...and very comfortable accommodations...just too bad the weather didn't co-operate as I had hoped...temps stayed in the low 50's Fahrenheit...but it was sunny most of the time...so we did get in some time at the pool.
