Las Vegas - Day 2

Up and at 'em...road trip day! We piled into the van and headed across Vegas. We ended up at this high end casino/resort for breakfast. It was still too early for most of the stores to be open, but we toured around a little anyway.
Back on the road...next stop...Hoover Dam! The are in the process of building a new suspension bridge for traffic...cool! James asked the parking attendant if she was from around there...HAHAHAH...so funny! We parked and got signed up for the 'Dam Tour', until it starts we do some sight seeing.
The Dam tour is pretty neat, we got these wicked yellow plastic hard hats to wear, and our tour guide was pretty interesting....Katie thinks he's a 'Gump', but he did know a lot of facts about the Dam (no duh!). As you can imagine there were plenty of 'Dam' jokes to be made and had. After the tour we did a little more sight seeing and headed off again.

Supposedly if you put your fingers on this guys feet you will have good luck!

We jump back in the lil van to continue our road trip...destination unknown (for me!)...we 'might' of stopped and got ourselves a few road pops, I was THIRSTY and me and Katie got 'happy' in the back seat....some of my BEST memories of the whole trip are 'hanging' in the back seat of the van with Katie.

We ended up on Route 66...it was awesome, this super windy road through the back country...itwasthisnarrow...and it was on the side of the mountain. James drove like a crazy man, it was funny...we hit some 'woo' stretches...ya know the kind that make your tummy go 'woo' because they are so up and down...that was fun too...
Along Route 66 we came across the town of Oatman...famous for its asses! Literally! I really wanted to ride one, but I was worried it would buck me off and I wasn't prepared have a sore...well...ass...for a few days lol. James when all photographer 0n us, hat turned backwards and everything...Katie has a few fun pics on her camera too I will have to share
Our last stop was a casino...don't even remember where lol...for supper and then we headed back to Vegas for a little R&R, it was a fun, busy day!
