Get Outta Town!

Andrew and I decided to take the kids to Lake Havasu yesterday to eat at Red Robin...yummm, and to see the London Bridge. Yes folks, the London Bridge is in Arizona...really...I am not lying. I have photographic evidence, just wait! So here is some fun info about it and pictures of our fun mini adventure!

Macy couldn't contain her excitement!

In 1962, London Bridge was falling down. Built in 1831, the bridge couldn't handle the ever-increasing flow of traffic across the Thames River. The British government decided to put the bridge up for sale, and Robert McCulloch, Founder of Lake Havasu City, Arizona, and Chairman of McCulloch Oil Corporation, submitted the winning bid of $2,460,000.
The bridge was dismantled, and each stone was numbered. Everything was shipped 10,000 miles to Long Beach, California, and then trucked to Lake Havasu City. Reconstruction began on September 23, 1968, with a ceremony including the Lord Mayor of London, who laid the cornerstone. On October 10, 1971, the bridge was dedicated.

See, I told you so!

Jack realized there was an awesome echo under the bridge!

Macy...still excited!
