Rinar's birthday is today.
"Happy Birthday Honey!" He is now 35!
We went to the Grand Canyon and it was spectacular. It sure takes a lot less time to get there when you go in a helicopter. It is only 80 miles from Las Vegas, as the birdie flies. What a great experience.
Here we are getting ready to take off. That is our pilot Scott Ritter. I sat next to him, front and center.
A bird's-eye view of Hoover Dam. Look at the by-pass highway they are building. The bridge is going to be massive. You have to see it in person. It is impressive. They actually did a Mega-Builders episode on the Discovery Channel for this bridge. It is going to be so much easier getting to Arizona when it is completed. Right now, it is a major pain.
This is the edge of the Grand Canyon.
We were in the canyon in front of our nifty little helicopter for this picture. It was a perfect day. The weather was delicious and it was so peaceful. Apparently, the helicopter thing is very popular because there must have been about ten of them in the immediate vicinity and quite a bit of helicopter traffic as well.
