Because our client extended our stay for an extra day of work on Monday, Hubby and I decided to take a drive out to Hoover Dam. It's been decades since the last time we were here, and there was so much road construction at the time, we had no place to stop and look around. Now they have a new bridge where the main road goes which opened up last year, and a much larger observation area. We took a nice, sporty drive, planning on doing the best tour we could. Unfortunately, we discovered that because of his imbedded defibrillator, we couldn't take the two best tours because of the magnets and electricity proximity, so we ended up just wandering around the visitor center, the grounds, and of course, across the dam. Really a miraculous structure, and particularly amazing for the fact that it's probably the last government project (maybe the only one in history!) that was finished significantly ahead of schedule, and under budget! Afterwards, we took a drive into Boulder City and found a nice little ice cream parlor, where we sat next to the pink-spotted cows and enjoyed a cone before heading back to the hotel.
