A day of rest

We had a much needed day to chill out. We decided to explore the area a bit. We started out by driving to the Hoover Dam, which was pretty interesting, and the scenery around Lake Mead was beautiful. After that we still wanted to explore, and so we looked at the map and set our destination for California. We saw the Mojave National Reserve on the map and wondered what the heck that was all about. Well it was an amazing ride, the landscape of the desert was breathtaking, and a worthwhile trip. I wish I could show you the pictures, but we are having problems with our computer! Hopefully I will be able to post them soon. Some cool highlights: driving through the Joshua Tree Wilderness, an amazing sunset, and running over a wild jack rabbit. We all had a really great time. (Except for the jack rabbit)
