I just wanted to give you a glimpse of our trip to Lake Havasu City, Arizona over the Christmas break…..
The palm trees in Lake Havasu are the coolest!!
This is the London Bridge. It was actually spared demolition in London and brought over to Lake Havasu City piece by piece and reconstructed. Hence the song - ‘london bridges falling down, falling down, falling down…..’ When I called my folks to tell them how much fun we were having in the desert, while they were sitting in about 6 feet of snow (ha ha ha), my Dad had to trump me by telling me that he actually walked on the London Bridge when it was still in London!!! Touche!
While I couldn’t beat that one, I could brag that we were going out to dinner that night for $1 tacos. Havasu has picked up on a great marketing scheme. The restaurants have these great weekly deals - $2 pizza on Fridays at Schlotzsky’s Deli, $1 tacos at this super hip restaurant by the water on Thursdays and Sundays, another place was advertising 75 cent beer all day!! I’m telling you - it’s brilliant! All the locals come out and these restaurants are rockin’ fun! Siskiyou County should do this!!
We spent an afternoon at the indoor Aquatic Center. This was so fun!!! They had an indoor waterslide - so all the kids (and me:) would go up the stairs and down the slide over and over until they turned on the wave machine in the pool, then everyone ditches the water slide and heads to the pool to body surf and play in the waves! When you start to get tired you can relax in the GIANT jacuzzi. Oh my, this is the life!!
The outdoor beaches are great too! There are so many beautiful parks, all with nicely paved walking paths and park benches. The city has OBVIOUSLY made recreation one of their highest priorities. What a great concept!!
Oh, and the sunsets are gorgeous EVERYDAY!
Why did I come home!?? why? why? why?…….
