Friday May 7th, 2010 Grandma Gail, Trevor and I enjoyed our day together. We drove over the London Bridge, went to the Lake Havasu Museum of History. This new addition to the Lake Havasu community traces the area's history from prehistoric times to modern day. Displays in the 3,000-square-foot museum included exhibits on the Chemehuevi Indians, the construction of Parker Dam, the region's mining activities, and information on London Bridge. Once we returned to the resort we spent the early evening playing in the pools and water slide. Fun times!
When children sing the song "London Bridge is falling down," they most likely don't realize that the famous bridge had been sinking into the Thames River in England for centuries and that it now resides on the banks of the Colorado River in western Arizona.
On our way back down to Parker from Lake Havasu we stopped off at Bill Williams River National Wildlife Refuge. With 6,000 acres situated along the lower 12 miles of the Bill Williams River, this refuge boasts the largest cottonwood-willow riparian area left along the lower Colorado River.
