I took full advantage of the Cargill Spouses program during our trip to Las Vegas. One day the bus took us to beautiful Hoover Dam and a tour of Lake Mead. You don't realize how impressive this man made structure is until you get up close and see first had the massive amount of work that was done. Over and over during the trip they stressed how the Californians were using up their water source and the lake is down over 30 feet for 2009. You can get a better look at the water levels by looking at the color change on the rock walls.
That day we ended our tour at the Ethel M Chocolate Factory! Oh how I thought of Great Grandma Elliott and how Jan would send her those chocolates from Ethel M! Naturally I could not disappoint Great Grandma and I bought a piece of dark chocolate!
