Grand Canyon Vacation

We got back from Arizona on Thursday, flying into Tropical Storm Faye. Boy, what a landing!!! It's been raining since we got back (Blah!). We had a great time. It's definitely a place for the outdoors lover (hiking, mountain biking, etc.), but the sights are beautiful. We stayed at a resort in Sedona which is the area with all of the Red Rock. We drove to the Grand Canyon which was about 2 hours away. The Grand Canyon was indescribable. I don't believe that any picture could capture the actual granduer of the Canyon. But again, it would be more fun if you were the outdoors type and actually hiked or took a mule to the bottom of the canyon. That would be about 6 hours down, spending the night at the bottom, and 6 - 8 hours back up. Seeing that tarantula's and mountain lions are pretty common there, I wouldn't think of that as too much fun, although Dave said he would love to do it. Addison had a great time too. We went to the petting zoo where she fed the deer, and to another Animal Preserve where she got to feed a camel and pet a BIG snake. She loved both. I'm sharing some pictures below.

Love you all!




Addison loves her "accessories." She will put everything around her neck, all my necklaces, cell phone chargers, just about anything, so I decided to get her a set of necklaces that she can call her own! And she loves her sunglasses too. She wears them all the time.



The was the Red Rock mountain that was in view from our hotel room balcony.




This is a picture of the Grand Canyon, although you can't see the bottom.

The outdoor hiking would be great for me but sadly not for the big Q. I will get him there someday. I have to see it. Addison is as cute as ever.

Yes Maureen, no photo could do justice to the Grand Canyon. It is really breathtaking. I was there in 1992 I think.

Much love,
Linda
