Exploring the Hoover Dam

#hooverdam is a short drive from Vegas, and one I knew we would enjoy. We first looked from the observation bridge, and then hiked across the dam to take our tour. . The power plant tour was super interesting and made it all real to the kids... especially C whose little brain was racing trying to figure stuff out. The tour took us 500+ feet underground and explains the history and workings of the dam. C was super excited and explaining what all he figured out to others. . And the visitor center - we talked about Roosevelt, the Great Depression, economics, hydroelectric energy, building the dam, the lake, the Colorado River, and so much more. A very educational and interesting experience. .
