Lake Havasu was created when the Parker dam was built so we went to see it. Its the worlds deepest dam with 320 feet of its height below the river bed. Doesn't look like much above though. It uses the water in Lake Havasu to generate electricity.
The lake is a huge recreational area with lots of resorts and boating where there once was only desert. Its amazing what water means.
Walking around we came across this Road Runner (he's under the tree to the right).
And of course we saw a rabbit as well. Anyone who used to watch cartoons will remember the Bugs Bunny Road Runner show. I believe it was filmed in this area :-). Maybe these are relatives.
After a long day of walking and exploring, we took a break and refreshed ourselves.
Today was the day the Xmas lights were turned on at the London bridge so we went down to see them. I see a present under the tree for me!
For years, every Xmas we take Kyle to Waterloo park to look at the lights and displays and then have a hot chocolate. So it just seemed right to have a hot chocolate after looking at the lights of the London bridge Xmas lights. These weren't nearly as nice, or as cold. We won't be there this year Kyle, so make sure mom and Andy take you.
