We were definitely ready for some warmer weather and we found it! Just outside Lake Havasu, Arizona, on the Parker Strip. We found a place called The Pirate’s Den. The boys got a kick out of it, it’s a pirate themed RV resort right on the river. We had a beachfront RV spot, heaven! It felt like we were in the Florida Keys. We spent a lot of time floating and swimming. The boys got snorkels and were really getting the hang of using them. There are 2 restaurants just in case you don’t feel like cooking. Yes, that did happen a few times.

We did go into Havasu City to see the London Bridge. It’s so crazy that it is here, in AZ. We talked to the boys about the history that that bridge had seen. That’s the kind of thing we all really like to think about. What happened on that bridge? Who walked over that bridge? What battles did that bridge see?

The last full day we were there we got to be friendly with our neighbors. They took us out on their boat for a little bit. Our boys and their boys played till it was dark and all morning the next day. We saw a hot boat go about 150 mph down the river. It was kind of like watching an F-14 fly by, loud and awesome! Life is good!

We’re off to Palm Springs to be still for a while. We’ll be there for almost 2 weeks.
