Tuesday night, we arrived at Grandma and Grandpa Hansen's house. It was freezing!!!
We left early Wednesday morning (4:00 am)and began our long journey to Phoenix. On the way, we bought gas for $2.67 in Wells, NV, almost hit a huge jack rabbit, and saw a lot of desert. A lot. Here are some pictures from the way down in the car:
I thought that this picture looked like a scene from cars. Just imagine these hills as the front of old cars. Cool huh!
We also drove around Area 51. This is the only alien thing we saw...
We then drove through Las Vegas and over to the Hoover Dam. We didn't stop. They don't have pullouts and we would have had to pay to park anywhere. We could have parked behind it, but that's all we could have seen. We really just wanted to get to Phoenix and there was still about 4 hours ahead of us. There was also a lot of construction going on around it. It looks like their adding bridge that will bypass the dam. It looks amazing.
We also saw a lot of cactus (suprise, suprise). I just got this snap shot from the car. Again, we just didn't stop much. It is pretty cool, the whole side of a mountain will be covered in brush and then the really tall cactus instead of trees. On our way back when we're officially tourists and not here for business, we'll get better pictures.
Well, now we are just chillin' in our hotel. We found Leigh (Ashton's friend who has an interview too) and they are both getting there suits ready for the big day tomorrow. It's exciting!!! Thanks for checking on us!
