A very HOT day

Before I get to the focus of this post, I must tell you that I believe that the test of true love comes when you are on a 24 day holiday, spending (most of) your daylight hours in the confines of a car with your spouse, trying to read maps and road signs,moving along at 70-75 mph--well, you get the picture. We are having such a great time, don't get me wrong, but...I'll just leave it at that--if you've ever been on an extended vacation, you know what I mean, and Arend, you pass the test. As for *moi*, that's another story.

Now, for this day's (combined) post, including scenes from Tuesday and Wednesday.
10 things I loved about our experieces for both days:
1. That western blue, clear sky
2. My first glimpse of a real desert
3. My first tour of a Ghost Town (picture all the western movies you've ever seen)
4. Seeing Arend's face light up when he got to speak Dutch to fellow tourists (from Holland)
5. Feeling the *heat* when we know it's now snowing back home
6. Eating strawberries last night at 11 PM, enjoying the AC after a hot day's travelling
7. Seeing the Hover Dam for the first time--WOW!
8. Drving over the Hover Dam for the first time (I drove back from our day trip, right on into the city)
9. Supper at Cracker Barrel
10. Coming back to our cool room for a much deserved R&R

I'll post the 10 *not-so-favourite* things in the next entry, if I may. I'm getting so very sleepy and need to turn in.

Hope you enjoy the pics, Barb
I am also including a recent pic of our new grandson--he is *so sweet*
