Mud Slides

It doesn't rain often in the desert, but when it does it creates BIG problems.

Interestingly though, the county removes it with a snow plow. Yep, just scrapes the heavy wet, mud to the side of the road.

Nevada State Railroad Museum

When you have a little boy who likes trains.... you visit a lot of train depots and museums. While we were in Las Vegas and visiting the Hoover Dam, we made a detour for this little excursion. The museum and parked trains are located in Boulder City, Nevada; the city that built the Hoover Dam. (Seriously, this city was created to develop and build the man-made wonder. Worth a Wikipedia read.)

The museum is smaller and they only offer train rides on certain days; however, there is an in depth review of the U.S. mail system, mail cars, and couriers that was fascinating. Truly worth the stop.

"Feeding my Pet!"

I am so fortunate to be able to stay at home with my children. I have struggled with my personal identity a bit and truly miss my career, but I am thankful every day for this time. Some days are crazy and frustrating... and some days I am told to "go away, mommy! I'm feeding my pet!"
