On Monday, we got up sluggishly at the La Quinta hotel where we had stayed, and got ready to make our way to Flagstaff, Arizona where we would be staying with my second cousin on my mom’s mom’s side. Don’t be confused though; she has grandchildren; she’s not my age. Anyway, before we got there we had to stop at some places along the way. The first place we stopped was Ethel M’s chocolate factory/store, which was attached to an M&M World and home to a cactus garden, where I got many pictures.
After that, we made our way to the Hoover (Boulder) Dam on the border of Nevada and Arizona. We got a lot of pictures there too. One of the neatest things there was a plaque that had a line beneath it with arrows pointing opposite directions, one labeled Nevada, and one Arizona. We took a picture of Sarah standing in front of the plaque with a foot on either side of the line. Another related thing there was the tower on each side of the line in Lake Mead; one was the Nevada Intake Tower, the other the Arizona Intake Tower. The interesting part was that each had a clock on them, the one with Nevada time and the other with Arizona time. The funny thing was, though, that they were both currently the same time, which I did not realize until after I had excitedly taken pictures of both.
After we finished at the Hoover Dam, we left for Jeannie (my second cousin) and David’s house. We had an enjoyable evening there, and went to bed eager for Tuesday’s excitement.
