What to do and see in Lake Havasu City, Arizona (AZ): The Best Things to do Good for a Rainy Day
Shimmering Lake Havasu, the centerpoint of Lake Havasu City, was formed in 1938 after the Parker Dam was built. It is perhaps most famous for the London Bridge that looms above it. Yes, the actual London Bridge, bought by the area's founding father, Robert McCullough, for $2,460,000, after the city of London put it up for auction in 1968. Today, Lake Havasu City is one of the most popular vacation destinations in Arizona and offers a range of recreational activities for families, couples and single travelers. Golf on championship courses, soak up the sun on the shores of Lake Havasu's beaches or explore nearby parks by foot and bicycle. Houseboats dot the lake and are available for rent along with paddle boats, kayaks, jet skis and other types of water sports equipment. Like most resort towns Lake Havasu is chock-full of hotels, restaurants, shops and non-stop action.

When my grandkids are here this is number one on their list of things to do! Facility is very well staffed and is accommodating for all visitors. I do wish they had more open swim times but when they do I can go sit in one of the hot therapy pools while my kiddos have a blast in the wave pool/Olympic size swimming pool, huge water slide or the splash pad. Never a shortage of life guards either

When we travel, libraries are always high on our list of places to visit, not because we need more books, but because libraries say so much about the community itself. Look at the bulletin boards, see what kinds of activities there are for young people, elderly seniors, and for community-based services they render. In this case, the listings included an adult colored pencils hour and we imagined that would be a big draw in this community of retirees. The library is quite large, the staff were helpful (but not intrusive), and the childrens' section was bright, colorful, and very inviting. Inside, a father had 2 of his children on his lap and he was reading a book to them. This is the kind of community LHC is, family-oriented. Their "Friends of the Library" resale section had some great buys and excellent selection. There was a book on Ellis Island and, paging through it to see the photos, I felt like I could have been staring into the eyes of my distant relatives. Slavs, Lithuanians, Russian Jews, Irish, Germans ... the whole "kit 'n kaboodle" (as we would have heard spoken in the late 1800's). The library is clean, has ample places to sit and read in a comfortable chair, and does not turn anyone away; however, we did see a Security Guard inside so it is safe to assume there is a reason for his presence. Locate this library on the beginnings of the McCulloch/Main Street part of town, just before Wheeler's Park.
