A festive looking London Bridge, Havasu City, AZ

The family and I were invited to ring in the new year in Lake Havasu with some friends. We hit the road Thursday night and hit the sac pretty much as soon as we arrived. Friday morning the plan was to launch the boats and head over to the Bridge for lunch. Sounds simple enough [...]
