Day 5 was our Hoover Dam day. We left Vegas and headed to the dam. It was so hot there!!! Oh my goodness, it was a little overwhelming. We'd been very fortunate in Las Vegas that there was wind the whole time we were there (particularly in Henderson where we stayed).
This is a view of a new bridge across the canyon, looking from the dam.
Obviously, the dam. But the photo was taken from the afore mentioned bridge. The kids and I chose not to walk on the bridge--there was a very tall ramp to climb to get there. I was tired, as were the kids, and I just did not want to go there! We stayed in the car and ate lunch while Matt hiked up to the bridge. He said the view was spectacular and well worth the climb.
I think this photo was taken on the road--perhaps from the parking lot?
Ahh, the mother road!!!!! We stopped in historic Kingman, AZ after turning onto the famed Route 66. James was soooooo excited to be on Route 66 (anyone familiar with the movie Cars?). We thought for sure that he'd be disappointed that it was simply a road with no glam to it, but he wasn't. He stayed excited the whole time we were on the highway.
A train in Kingman.
We spent the night in Williams, AZ. It's a cute little town that caters to Route 66 travelers on their way to the Grand Canyon. This is the diner where we ate dinner on this night. It was really a fun place. The kids loved it!!
