This past week I had to take a business trip and Ray came with me. We road tripped down to Bullhead City, AZ. We actually stayed in Laughlin, NV because the two cities are just across the river from each other. It was 114 degrees there in the hottest part of the day and Ray and I both felt like we were melting.
I had to work all day Thursday but Thursday night we drove down to Lake Havasu so that Ray could see the London Bridge. HB had told him all about it and Ray wasn't sure whether he was just pulling his leg or if it was in fact actually THE London Bridge. So we drove about an hour south and checked it out for ourselves. Sure enough the original London Bridge was transported over from England in the 70's to promote British/American relations (or so says all the literature).
As we were driving up to St. George on Friday we decided to call HB and let him know that we had made the trek to see the London Bridge. In the true spirit of British/American relations he told me to pass a message along to Ray. His message was, "We saw it, We wanted it, We went and got it!"
God Bless America.

Seeing the London Bridge brings back a flood of memories. Many years ago on my first visit to Blythe (in August no less), Candy took me on a sightseeing tour...The Yellow Front store, Albertsen's, Ripley, Erinburgh, & Quartzsite (I thought it was the biggest drive-in theater in the world. There were acres & acres of what I thought were speakers, but no movie screens. Turns out that the movie speakers were RV hookups). Then we took a side trip to Lake Havasu & the London Bridge.
…maybe it would have been much more impressive if we had gone there first instead of Ripley…it was all pretty much downhill after that…
I am getting sick of the london bridge...
