THIS IS A PIC OF BRIDALVEIL FALLS IN YOSMITE. LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING THIS FOR OURSELVES..

On March 23rd, Mandy, David and I headed to Las Vegas. Steve, Mandy's husband, and his friend bought a condo there. Nolan had to have some immunzation shots and Mandy's Dr. thought it was best for her to not be around him since they were live virus. This seemed like a perfect time to go to Vegas and see the new Condo. While there we would do a little painting and Mandy and I would hit the slots. I would tell you more but "WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS STAYS IN VEGAS"

White rock is the markings from the high water level of the reservoir at the Dam. Levels will rise when the spring run off gets there.

Mandy and David with a view of the new bridge in the background

This is the new bridge that spans the Colorado River in Black Canyon down stream of Hoover Dam. When completed you will bypass the Dam. Crossing the Dam takes time since they do random car searches for 911 security. If is however, very impressive and is a must too see.

Driving from Las Vegas to California we saw snow on the mountains

On Friday March 26th David and I drove to Death Valley National Park in California. It is about 120 miles from Las Vegas.
