Hoover Dam
The fact that I got the chance to have a new experience especially with my family. It exceeded my expectations. Definitely I have no idea how much we were going to walk. Probably lively. Not really. I would certainly want to come back and explore more spots. I feel like I spent a good amount of time in each activity.
