Typing with sleeping baby in arms, so excuse any typos. This weekend we took the new ride to Hoover Dam. We live about 1 1/2 hours away so it was perfect for a good drive in our new Veracruz. Norris was very excited about going to Hoover Dam, and was quite let down with the size of it when we got there. Perhaps owing to the record low water levels Hoover Dam looked like it was made by an ambitous beaver more than the feat of engineering it is supposed to be. I have been to Brazil and the largest dam in the world near Iguacu Falls on the border of Brazil, Uraguay and Argentina and so was not expecting to be overwhelmed by the grandeur of HD so was not as unimpressed as I would have been if I were expecting a massive structure. Of note, we saw a small pack of bighorn sheep going up and down a hill and finally crossing the street to the next hill, very cool. What was strange was that there were a lot of people all around and we were the only ones to notice them.
We took a wonderful drive around Lake Mead and saw some beautiful inlets that we plan to visit again when the weather is warmer. Bella loved being out and about and Norris overheard some people say "and you thought our dog looked gay" in reference to our beautifully groomed poodle. But we don't care.
Miles for his part is a good traveler and just took it all in calmly like he had seen it all before and was unimpressed.
