Phoenix Trip






Logan and I took a trip to Phoenix, Arizona, in March. We went on a tour of the school and checked out areas to move to. We had quite a trip. It just happened to be the rainiest weekend of the whole season. The roads were just flooded. On the way home, it started to rain and snow. About 10 minutes outside of Kingman, Arizona, we were stalled for nearly an hour. There were several accidents. Our family lived in Kingman, Arizona, for two years and I never saw more than 1 inch of snow. We were really blessed on this trip. We had a great time, despite my hope for sunshine.
On the way down, we stopped in Kingman, Arizona, to see how much it had changed in 17 years. It's absolutely amazing. It used to be a little dumpy town. It has progressed with all knids of new businesses, hospitals, and schools. We drove by my old school, and it still looked the same. I will always have fond memories of that school.

The pictures of Hoover Dam were taken on our way back. This area is totally amazing. Unless you have driven through this area, it's hard to appreciate the magnitide of this project. My kids and I drove this road every other weekend. If we didn't drive than Jerry did. There is 20 miles of construction involved in this project. Truly amazing. I will be taking another trip when this trip is finished. Of course, with Logan moving to Phoenix this fall, I'm sure we will see more of this project.
