Hoover Dam
Today we drove into Nevada, rode across the Hoover Dam, took pictures at Lake Mead, and walked on the newly finished bridge overlooking the dam. Now we are headed to Vegas!
Looks like you're have a great trip so far. Fantastic. I tried posting before but am not sure anything went through. I'll try this now ... have a great time in Vegas and be sure to get to Freemont Street downtown one evening. Looking forward to seeing you both. Be careful on the roads.
Also ... after looking at the photo it brought back memories of a few years ago when we were with you touring Hoover Dam and it was scorching hot. Then we all went to the Hacienda Hotel/Casino and had a super time playing Blackjack together. How was the weather this time?
Weather was same-very hot! And we stopped at the Hacienda! That's where we learned craps. Matt - the bridge is open to traffic but you can't see the dam from your car because the barrier is too high. :(

That's so awesome that you guys got to walk on the new bridge! Is it open to traffic yet?
