If you have never traveled much in the United States, you are missing out on some great scenery and historical places. Not to mention God's creation after the flood.
I was looking through Reader's Digest National Parks book today that I purposely brought along. Since we were close to the Grand Canyon, and hope to visit it at some point in our current travels, I took some time to read through what it had to say.
You can imagine my sarcasm as I read some of the infomation aloud about how millions of years formed it. Really...? I loved Bill's comment while we were driving through Zion National Park on the 15: "So they tell us these canyons were formed in 20 million years, while 10 miles east they have set up a preserve because they are afraid the erosion is going to destroy them." Just think about that for a little bit and you'll get it.
We passed through some great places in the last week and I thought I would share them with you. Enjoy!
We passed Burma Shave signs on the way to Lisa's!
Famous Hoover Dam. From top to bottom: The newest addition to Hoover Dam, the Hoover Dam Bypass (which I just found out opened Oct. 19, 2010); Robert, myself, and Andrew; Hoover Dam with the Bypass in the background; monument to all the workers (Hoover Dam was built from 1931-1936, you can imagine the type of equipment they had...); and an overview of Lake Mead (what Hoover Dam created).
