Rosie's Den and Hoover Dam

We travelled from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon, in a kick ass Hummer! We went with Big Horn Hummer Tours and Scott was our tour guide! It was an unnnnnnnnbelievable road trip that started at 6:15 AM with a quick pittstop for breakfast at the famous Rosie's Den on Route 66. Rosie's is known for their huge portions especially their flying saucer pancakes! They had cool things in their backyard like a John Wayne life size poster and an old train that they got from a vacated Vegas hotel. We then drove over to the Hoover Dam which supplies all the water to the South Western States and had breathtaking views of the Colorado River. It's a hydroelectric power generating station that provides irrigation water flow and is used for flood control. The dam was finished being built in 1936 and the architecture is truly phenomenal!xoBeckerman girls

I love this blog so much!! On so many levels! 1. You keep postmodern style a family affair 2. Old diners are the best and especially if they are named Rosie's 3. You prove that there is room for amazing fashions for every stage of life 4. Whenever I think of the Hoover Dam I am reminded of that Pete and Pete episode...
