Sunday

Took another early morning drive; this time to Hoover Dam. Not actually to the dam, but high above it on the new Hoover Dam Bypass Bridge! That bridge is worth an exclamation point!



What an engineering marvel.

We’ve watched the bridge being built for years. It’s complete now. We considered driving across it, just for fun. Some of us are not fans of high places though, so we did not approach this bridge driving feat casually. We did, however, screw up our courage and in spite of sweaty hands and feet, ventured out. What an anticlimax. From below, you can see what a dramatic bridge this is. From on the bridge…all you see is concrete barriers! You can’t even tell you’re on a bridge!



We left our “suite” at the Holiday Inn Express today


And checked into our room at the Aria.

There *is* a difference.
