Hoover Dam

We wanted to take our kids to see Hoover Dam when we were in Vegas because we go there so often but never actually go and see all the cool stuff. I remember going to Hoover Dam on a field trip in Middle School and loving the visitor's center. We tried to talk it up to our kids because they thought it sounded lame. We got there and found out we couldn't bring Scout with us (we were on our way home so had him in the car with us). We even had to park at a different, further parking lot. I had to stay in the car with Scout while the rest of the family went to explore. That didn't go well either. They wanted to charge $10/person just to go into the visitor's center! What? That's highway robbery! We were so mad and so disappointed. We had just paid $10 to park in the lame Arizona parking lot and weren't going to drop another $50 to look at pictures. So we drove to the walkway to the bridge and walked across it to see the dam. It's a really cool structure and an impressive feat, but by the time we were there, we were all in pretty bad moods about the whole thing.

Especially this guy. But that's nothing new.
