Lake Havasu City, AZ

A few weeks ago Barbara, Toby and I traveled to Lake Havasu City, AZ for a short stay. While here we enjoyed it so much that we came back for a longer stay. We have really enjoyed our time here. In the Lake Havasu area there is no shortage of things to do. We visited the famous London Bridge, gone to the beach a couple of times and enjoyed the colorful sunsets, to name a few. We are already making plans to return here next fall.

For you trivia buffs I’ve got one for you. Did you know that the London Bridge is the largest antique ever sold? The bridge needed to be moved or destroyed because it was slowly sinking. So in 1967 Robert P. McCulloch, Sr. an inventor and entrepreneur who had great success in the boat motor and chainsaw markets purchased the bridge for just under $3,000,000 and had it moved to Lake Havasu. The bridge was disassembled block by block and moved. The bridge was completed in 1971. I first visited the bridge in 1972 at the age of 13. A long time ago in a galaxy far far away. There wasn’t much here back then. Boy have things changed. This is a thriving retirement community that is busy most of the year. But when the heat is on, June through August, things slow down a bit.

Below are a few photos I have taken of the sights we have enjoyed while here. (15)
