Greetings from Boulder City, Nevada, where after a full day of travel, Emily and Colin (composing this post together in the seldom-used "joint first person" tense) are safe and sound, back at the hotel room, after a day filled with driving, the majesty of a pizza and chicken wings cruise on Lake Mead to the Hoover Dam, a late night visit to the ritzy Wynn Hotel and Casino Resort in Las Vegas (where one machine spit out a cool $100 bill for Emily... yes, it was the ATM...), granola bars, 50's diners, meeting up with Colin's mom and husband Steve, cheese plates, air conditioning failures (in the hotel room tonight, not in the so-far performing like a champ Honda CR-V), a variety of beverages, and so much more!
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so instead of going on and on, here's a thousand words worth of our day:
Unofficial trip mascot "Car Woody," atop the CR-V, at the Hoover Dam. Which, Emily learned today, was not named for J. Edgar Hoover. Who knew?Current location:
Current mood: Satisfied, and a bit tired.

We are at Chez Lucia Bed and Nosh in Orinda. We miss you. We miss you. Emily, Don't let Colin fool you. The dam is named after the inventor of the Hoover vacuum cleaner.. Herbert. Keep us posted. Before you leave Boulder City, don't forget to stop and smell the damdelions. Love Julia, Daddy, Mommy, and Aunt Lucy
First person plural is my favorite literary voice. This blog gets better and better every day.
But where are you now? We're in Flagstaff! Loved having breakfast with you!
Don't forget to take a picture of Exit Zero!
Love, Mom and Steve
