Brooklyn??? A few weeks before Christmas I'm sitting in the living room watching reruns of Beverly Hills 90210, and I hear this really, really loud Christmas music. I'm not really sure where it's coming from, but Ray jumps up, throws open the front door & yells, "Santa is coming, get the camera!!" WTF???
Apparently ever since he was a kid (for those of you that don't know, we live in the house that he grew up in) the city puts Santa on the back of a 4-wheeler and drives him through the city blasting Christmas.
So this is what we saw come past the house:
I love this picture! It was warm, we wern't at work, I still had a little bit of a tan from the wedding. Now its cold & gross outside :-(
Lake Mead
In the rocks is a bunker from WWII. While they were building the Damn, they started to think that they better protect it as it would be a good target for the enemy should they bring the war over here.
Colorado River
Ginormous bridge being built over the River. Half is on the Arizona side & half is on the Nevada side. Apparently the states argued over what to name the bridge and settled on O'Callaghan-Tillman Memorial Bridge. O'Callaghan was some old governor from Nevada, and Pat Tillman was the Arizona Cardinals football player who joined the army after 9-11 and was killed in Iraq. (Personally, I think they could have named the entire thing after Pat Tillman, because from what I've read about that governor, he didn't do anything earth shattering.)
The top of the Damn. It's impossible to get the entire thing in a picture, unless you're in a helicopter.
The power plant at the Damn.
I guess technically we made it to 2 states that day!
