Lake Mead Cruise & Pawn Shop

No trip to Vegas is complete without a cruise on Lake Mead. We HAD TO DO THIS!

As you can see the lake is down.  
The cruise took us up to Hoover Dam with the new bridge hovering up in the air.

The weather was really nice, a wee bit hot and windy but a great day for a boat ride and not crowded.

Jeannette, sister-in-law in the foreground, then Paulde my older brother in the middle, and hubby in the brown shirt. Don't know the last guy in line with the white hair. The chairs were laying down because it was quite windy and they kept falling over (even though they were weighted).

This is the boat we cruised on. Lower deck was enclosed and air conditioning as well as the middle deck. We opted for open air of the upper deck, much nicer even though it was hot.

After cruising on the Lake, we had to go check out the new bridge even though Bill and I had been there before. It was hot walking up but the view was worth the trip.
