Hoover Dam, lunch at PBR rockers, chloe rode bull, 50 shades of gray
Today we were up and at em early to take an express tour of the Hoover Dam. We were meeting our Pink Jeep tour guide for our four hour tour.
The pink jeep was absolutely adorable and super nice! We were first to be picked up, so we got the best seats in the bus! Yay!
We just started off on our adventure when our driver Chris' phone rang. He asked Jennifer to answer it, since he was driving. She was a little taken aback, but she answered it anyway. Here, it was his office, so she chatted with them for a minute. It was nothing important, they just wanted to say he phone lines were down and to call cell phones if he needed anything. What a hoot.
He was a super nice guy and we enjoyed all his stories and jokes on the way to the dam. We were all throwing around a lot of damn dam jokes. It was fun.
One cool thing on the way, we got to see snow on mountains that the locals haven't seen snow on in YEARS. With the weird weather front that brought all the rain to Vegas last night, it left snow on the mountain tops. It was beautiful!
We finally got to the dam and I had forgotten just how enormous it was! HUGE!
I couldn't bring my scooter in the van, but I was able to get a regular wheel chair. I was kind of bummed needing people to actually push me around. I loved being able to just drive myself, but oh well! We really enjoyed the dam tour and then we hit the gift shop before we headed back out.
I was happy because I was able to get Reagan a couple pressed pennies for her collection. She has really taken a likening to them, so we've started getting them whenever we come across some. We keep them in a little glass bowl in the kitchen where we can look at them all the time.
After our tour, we hit the Miracle Mile shops to find a lunch place. We ended up at a cool western themed bar, with AWESOME food. They gave you so much it was CRAZY! Mary Jane and Jennifer's hot dogs were longer than their plates. It was awesome!
The restaurant had a mechanical bull and you got a free ride with a restaurant receipt. Of course the birthday girl had to give it a go! Chloe did fantastic. She stayed on much longer than the rest of us could have. It was a hoot to watch.
After lunch we decided to take a little rest. We were going to take it easy tonight and just catch a movie.
We decided to see 50 Shades of Gray. It was a good movie and we're glad we finally saw it. Jennifer and I giggled like little school girls through the whole thing. I made Nana sit on the opposite end from me, too! LOL! It was a little intense, but very good!
After that, we went to have some drinks and some food at Planet Dailies before we went upstairs to pack and get ready to head home tomorrow.
Meanwhile at home, Reagan and Jim continued their playing around the house and watching television. They really have been having a good time. Jim doesn't get a lot of one on one time with her, so he is for sure savoring these special moments.
