The concrete poured into the walls of Hoover Dam, are made by the sweat and blood of hundreds of Americans who were looking to save themselves, and their families. Residing on the Colorado River, the Hoover dam rises out of no where. Downstream from the Grand Canyon, this structure is almost as impressive as the Grand Canyon. With its towering height, and awesome power output, it is almost inconceivable that the technology required

All three of these parks share a place on the Colorado Plateau but Bryce is the only one to feature natural hoodoos, extensive wildlife, and an environment prime for any person to surround themselves with the artwork of mother nature.

Equipped with my phone and earbuds, my family and I were ready for our venture west. We were all eager to go; none of us had been to any of these attractions before--Sedona, Arizona, the Grand Canyon, Las Vegas, Utah, Colorado--and all of the states we drove through. My parents were in the front and in the back my sister and I were excited for the long drive we had ahead of us.

The blue, cottage style dwelling suited us perfectly and I had the time of my life decorating it with timeless treasures that I lovingly collected at flea markets and antique shops. Once I transformed our house into a home, and the season turned into spring

The adventure began when we decided to leave on Thursday, September 22, 2016. The three of us got up and took the bus to the Big Lots parking lot to get it prepared for the road. A little after 1pm we were all prepared to depart Wilkes-Barre, PA. The jeep was hooked up to the bus and we ran a test drive to make sure all the parts are working as they should. Now it was time to say our fair wells. My niece Taina did not make it any easier to depart. With responses such as "you’re not leaving" or
