Spring Break...Day 5

We packed the car up again, and headed west. Aaron has gotten really good at packing the car up. I bought a bag-type carrier for the top of the car, and it works really well. Gives us plenty of room inside the car for kids, snacks, and assorted stuff.

We visited the Hoover Dam three years ago on spring break, but we thought we'd hit it again since the kids are older. We didn't do the tour, we just walked around the dam and took some pictures.



They were doing construction on the dam when we were there three years ago, and they're still doing it now. I think there is some sort of bridge going up across from the dam. It's pretty cool how they're doing the curved concrete. You couldn't pay me enough to do a job like that!

We brought the stroller for Abbie, but she didn't like that either. She just wanted to run. I don't blame her since we spent most of the day in the car.


She was okay with Andrew riding in her stroller. She even tried to help buckle him in.

After our quick visit to Hoover Dam, we headed to Henderson, Nevada. It's just south of Vegas. We got a good deal on a room at Sunset Station Casino. They have a movie theater and a bowling alley. We took a walk around the huge hotel/casino and decided to head out to eat cuz it was way too expensive. Pancakes at IHOP was just what we needed...yum.
