Dam water and guns

This weekend was filled with a lot of adventure! First, Floyd and I drove out to Hoover Dam and on the way over, we took a few shots by Lake Mead, one of the largest man-made lake and reservoir in the U.S. As I gazed at the water (yes, water in a desert) I was immediately put into a relaxed state. There's just something about the water that brings you to that relaxed state of mind. *sigh!* So as we drove closer to the Hoover Dam, one of the largest hydroelectric generating station, I noticed more cars on the road and then noticed that so many people were at the Hoover Dam taking pictures and just enjoying this historical site. I probably saw more visitors there than I have ever seen on Saipan....and this was just a site, not a city. Unfortunately, because of the traffic flow of people there, we weren't able to take the damn, I mean dam tour! But it was worth the drive. Believe it or not, our drive was only about an hour - back and forth. It was definitely a nice, senic route (of mountains, rocks and more desert) to the outskirts of Las Vegas.

The second part of my exciting weekend was that I attended my first-ever GUN SHOW! Okay, I was just expecting to see guns. Period. But it was much more than that. I saw all kinds of guns: small, large, light, heavy, old, new....it was just amazing!!! And the fun part? I got to hold some of them, too! But there was more than guns at this show. There were knives, swords, tasers, clothes, flashlights and a lot more equipment. But the coolest thing I saw there were ladies purses that had these almost "secret" pockets in them for your (registered) gun. Those booths definitely had me fooled in the beginning because I was like, Why in the world are they selling ladies handbags at a gun show??? Well, little did I know, these stylish bags had a purpose! Oh and then there was the yummy beef jerky and fresh popcorn being sold. You know I had a bag of that!
