Fall Break: Day 4 & 5 - Parker Dam & Visitors Center Fun & Home

On our last day we packed up our car, checked out of our hotel and then went to check out Parker Dam.  It is located on the way back into Lake Havasu.  It is a small but very impressive dam that is kind of hidden from the main road but is located right off of the main road.  It was kind of fun to see another dam.
After we checked out the dam we went back into Lake Havasu.  We wanted to go back to the visitors center to get some souvenirs.  We found lots of fun thing to do there that we didn't notice before.  We found a jet ski that the kids could play on and some coloring pictures  They also gave each of the kids postcards.
After that we got back into the car and started our drive home.  The kids did pretty good in the car and we made good time.  We drove to St. George and stayed there for the night.  We got checked into the hotel and then went and visited with Nana.
We then all went to have dinner at The Pizza Factory.  It was really busy but it didn't take too long to get a table.  The food was good and we had a good time with Nana.  After eating, Margie and Nana went back to her place while we went to visit my Aunt Connie.
She was surprised to see us and very happy too.  She is such a nice person.  She let the kids play with a bunch of different toys and even let Josh keep any change he found on the ground.  Silly boy went looking all over their house for change.  After a nice chat we decided to go back to our hotel and get some sleep.
The next morning we checked out of our hotel and picked up Margie at Nana's house.  Then it was back on the road to go home.  It was a fun trip and we were glad that we got to go check out a new town.
