Damn, where did that hoover dam come from?

First off I have to congratulate myself on thinking of such a wonderful pun for the title. We start driving to the grand canyon and in the middle of the desert we hit insane traffic. Jen starts freaking out because the navigation system shows some crazy curves and she doesn’t quite trust my professional driving skills. I mean it is pretty tough taking a turn at a blazing 15 mph. We figure out the traffic is from the new Arizona Mexican checkpoint law. After about 20 minutes of mexican searching they let us right through and the Hoover Dam shows up. Now maybe we are kind of retarded but neither of us expected such a famous national monument to surprise us. Jen keeps trying to convince me to stop and enjoy the scenery. Finally I give in at the very top and we find a little indian family to take our picture. Before we can get back into our car the perfect stereotypic Chinese tourist couple pulls up and we take their picture and are on our way.
