Hoover Dam

Mike and I spent our last date night exploring the Hoover Dam.  It was a fun time, we took the short tour and walked through some of the tunnels to a room with generators.  There was a short movie before hand that had lots of interesting facts as well.  After that, we explored the Visitor's Center and then walked along the bridge/dam.  It truly is a feat to think about all the work, constant work, designing equipment to lift the huge weights.  The cooling process for all that concrete was really neat as well.  I think before we leave Vegas we will take the kids, maybe not do the tour but at least take them to see it and be in awe!
