Memorial Day

     Today's post is in honor of all the men and women who have served, are serving, and have lost their lives serving our country. This is a photo of Senior Airmen Duane Kelley Jr, one of the many people that I know serving today. Thank you to all that serve.

Hoover Dam

 Facts about the Hoover Dam:

• the dam is 726 feet high, 45 feet thick at the top and 660 feet at the bottom, making it larger than the Great Pyramid of Cheops.
• the lowest paid dam worker was .50 cents an hour and the highest was $1.25 an hour. 
• it was named for the 31st president, Herbert Hoover. When he left office, the names “Boulder Canyon Dam” and “Boulder Dam” were used.
• During a dam tour, tourists will see gleaming terrazzo floors imbedded with Southwestern Indian designs adapted from baskets, pottery, and sand paintings made by Italian craftsmen.

Love Park

    Love park is one of the main attractions in downtown Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Love Park was built in the 1960's and became a great place for skateboarders due to the curved stairs and ledges. Some of the world's top skateboarding professionals call Philadelphia home. Philadelphia has also been the only city to hold the ESPN's X Games twice in a row.
