Well the troops are definitely fading but we are still having a good time. Our last RV day was spent in Zion National Park. We parked haRVey on the street and then used the park’s shuttle service to get around. It was an absolutely gorgeous day – warm weather, blue skies, and not a single cloud in the sky. We managed to get the kids onto one short hike to get the best views of the canyon and valley, but as I said, they were fading fast.
Lauren caught a cold but has been a real trooper. We promised she could lie down after our hike, so we headed back to haRVey pretty quickly with a quick stop for smoothies and cinnamon rolls.
For our last destination of this amazing road trip, we headed to the Hoover Dam – during rush hour, on a Friday, of a holiday weekend, following a big car accident, with the RV access road closed – so our 3.5 hour trip turned into about 5 hours when we finally got to the Dam at dusk. We did get to drive over the Dam, twice, so that was exciting. In typical fashion, we only had about 30 minutes before the Dam closed to foot traffic, so after parking haRVey, we ran to the bridge looked over, looked across, took pictures and ran back.
Everyone was starving, so we pulled over into a casino parking lot for a free-for-all dinner of whatever leftovers anyone could get their hands on. We spent the evening packing, quickly realizing that the (8) suitcases we brought to get everything home might not be enough…
We are all sad to be returning haRVey in a few hours, but very excited to spend the day relaxing at the pool at Mandalay Bay before heading home tomorrow.
Check back for one more post tomorrow for our RV top ten list and final thoughts on the trip.
