Friday
Still being quite naive we trundled into Boulder Beach Campground on the shores of Lake Mead on a Friday - Of course it was full, well almost, we managed to get on to the handicapped site and were then happily joining the throng that enjoys the facilities of Lake Mead every weekend. We couldn't resist going to a local casino to eat a scrummy rib eye Steak for next to nothing, mmm.
We are now firmly in the grip of warm weather! Lovely stuff.
On Saturday we took the trip to Hoover Dam, big place! had a nice tour through some of the tunnels and to the power plant hall right at the bottom. Loved the Art Deco architecture. Just down stream we could see the new bridge across the Colorado, very impressive.
After walking across the dam we then went up to the bridge and I walked across to get a nice view of the Hoover Dam.
We realized why they built the new bridge. After 9/11 no big trucks were allowed across the dam, in case of terrorism, so the new bridge had to be built to let traffic across.
We had booked a meal in a local restaurant in Boulder City for our anniversary, a very pleasant place called Evans Grill, very good food, Sally had a fillet mignon steak and I had a rack of lamb, AND a slice of cheesecake (oops). We had a lovely evening.
Sunday we had a relaxing day nosing round the marina and some of the beaches.
Monday we moved on to Las Vegas.
