From St George to LA

After our first day of back roads we stopped in St. George for the night. We celebrated my sister's b-day with a yummy dinner and a barbie birthday cake! The next day Kristen and I had plans to take more side roads from St. George to Agoura (The good life). We decided we would take a trip by Hoover Dam. We left the I-15 at the Logandale/Overton exit and drove around Lake Mead on our way to Hoover Dam. I have one thing to say... it was HOT! 114 degrees, hot. We got out a couple times to take pictures and one time nearly lost our directions as the two open doors created a wind tunnel. We also encountered some road construction (what trip to or from Utah would be complete without it) where we had to drive on dirt roads for a while... good times. Why did we not think that Hoover Dam would be just as busy as any other state or national park on the weekend. The line of cars was pretty long to get in, and of course they had a security checkpoint to make sure there were no shinanagons. As we were walking around we heard a ruccos and we noticed there was a fight! We went to get a closer look. In the end Megatron was defeated! We were safe! After that we had figured we had enough of an adventure... so we headed back to California. We took more side roads till we met up with the 15 again outside of Vegas. Good times...

David would have loved seeing the transformers. He has never seen the move but loves them anyway. I went on that tour but it has been a few years. It looks like you two had fun.

The Transformers reenactment...PRICELESS! And what a beautiful day you had for driving to California!
