Yep, the title and photo pretty much say it all.
When we were in Las Vegas in March for the NASCAR race, we (like many other tourists) found a morning to head south and over to Hoover Dam.
There are a lot of pictures here, some interesting, some not. Here are a few things you should know:
AJ was sick and spent most of the time in the car with Joie, so mostly Jesse and Max in photos. And when you see AJ, well, he doesn’t look great. BTW, he spent 6+ hours in our hotel room thereafter until he felt better – it was a bummer for all, but mostly for him.
Zoom lens. This trip was my first outing with this new camera – my Olympus E-410. I’ve accidentally left the standard lens in a different backpack, so all I had was this higher-powered lens. Close photos were hard to take, if not impossible. Note that Max and Jesse standing in two states at once had to be two photos. (I’ll stitch those together in photoshop, I think to myself. Yeah, right.)
The highway they are building overhead just freaks me out. Those are the tallest concrete support columns I’ve ever seen and although high places don’t freak me out that much, this kind of does. I can’t imagine driving on that highway. They should call it sky highway, at least the way it looks from the current highway down at Hoover dam. Can’t wait to see when they finish it.
So, that’s it – consider this your being trapped at my house and I roll out the slide projector except you don’t have to watch all 88 slides if you don’t want to. If you really want this particular experience, try the slideshow! 
Enjoy!
