You may have heard about this place sometime ago on the TV. This is a very popular spot for collage kids to go for spring break. There is a large lake and they stay on the state and BLM land and rent boats and "play " on the lake.... swimming... drinking... partying.... drinking..... getting tan.... drinking. We are here before spring break time and the place is filled with fellow snow birders. I can see why this is a popular destination.... it is beautiful. Here are just a few pics.
I told John that I could easily spend several months here. The weather is great, warm but not hot. The dogs have been swimming in the lake already.
The reason we came here is for fireworks. Each year in February, there is a pyrotechnics convention where the manufacturers of fireworks come to show off their newest creations. This coming Friday and Saturday evenings (Feb 18 & 19) the night sky over this city will be filled with color and pizazz. But in the meantime, we are enjoying this city. On the 11th and 12th they had a "winterfest". A street fair with over 400 vendors. Even though it was called "Winterfest".... it was 72 degrees, sunny and a cloudless sky. Here are a few pictures.
There were thousands of people, beautiful things to look at and admire and lots of food.
The only thing laking was places to sit, but this guy made his own seat to eat his turkey leg.
Another reason why Lake Havasu City may be familiar to you is because it is the city that bought, dismantled, moved and rebuilt the famous London Bridge. The London Bridge is now in Lake Havasu City connecting a small island to the rest of the city. Here, John and I, were walking around the bridge when Millie took our picture.
I'm not sure if I will be able to take pictures of the fireworks but I will certainly try.
