It was time to move on this morning, our vacation only half way completed. Our next state destination was Utah, but a detour to Hoover Dam would be our first stop.
Hoover Dam was immense. The history behind the construction, how hard and long the men worked was intriguing. How could they work in the dessert heat with only two days off a year? If anyone complained or called in sick due to illness they would be fired. The men were strong, tough and rugged.

The sweat and tears of our ancestors created something society would use for many future years to come. It is a legacy. I wonder how much their pain and labor is taken for granted.
We began our journey into Utah from Nevada and were astounded by the views and scenery changes. It compared to landing on a different planet.

We divided and conquered a grocery trip, the best place to shop ninety minutes from our vacation home. We needed food for four days, five teenagers, three adults and two little boys. We would be meeting my sister and two nieces that evening for the remaining of our vacation.
We spotted a Bighorn sheep on our journey. Our first of many. The kids were excited.

When we entered Zion National Park, which bordered our resort, all of us were in awe of the beauty surrounding us. We made a great decision to meet my sister in one of America's oasis. The next week would have many new experiences.

Our house was perfect for feeding our large crew and everyone was comfortable in the four bedroom home overlooking a magnificent view. We were home for the next four days.
