Travelogue: Honeymoon Road Trip

My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful honeymoon road trip after being married in Las Vegas. We toured Hoover Dam, visited the Grand Canyon, drove on Route 66, and experienced a taping of The Price Is Right (Airs 4/23 - we're 3rd row center behind contestant row). Below are some random observations from the trip.



Hoover Dam does not allow hard liquor or boomsticks



As my woman and I exited our vehicle to descend the stairs to begin taking in one of the modern wonders of the world, we were surprised to find we had to leave the Jack Daniels and my shotgun in the car. Instead we had to settle for a cube of Natty Ice and my trusty Bowie knife to get us through the tour.



Mastering the lingo of the Great Depression is pretty easy.













The Greenhorn thought he would do a little goldbricking with the Puddlers by slowly cleaning each others banjoes and crutches, but was surprised when a Drilling Jumbo ran over him at The Glory Hole. Needless to say, the employees’ Easy-dough was very agitated.




The Arch Erection Method














Double entendre are a long held tradition at Hoover Dam.



Standing in line at 2am for game show tickets doesn't top my list of "fun" activities



















The only time I will stand in line at 2am for television show tickets ever again is if the shows are Conan or TDS/Colbert. That's it. Beyond that, forget it.

Most men are the marrying sort, poor devils.

In case you were not aware, I'm currently preparing to fly off to Las Vegas to get my marriage on! I'll be trying to post updates from the planned honeymoon road trip which will take us from Vegas, to the Hoover Dam, to the Grand Canyon, and off to LA and the The Price is Right. Mostly updating on Twitter (xericwit), but I might drop a few lines telling you if taquitos in the southwest taste more authentic, or not. We might even stop by to visit the UC: Irvine campus for potential enrollment.

If you'd like to watch our wedding live (or after the Caesars Palace editing team has a chance to turn it into an advertisement) following these directions:
