Grand Canyon!

My prediction was correct! :)  We headed up to Williams, AZ on Friday night and checked into a hotel right on Main Street -- horse drawn carriages and all.  Walked over to look at the trains because we were right next to the Grand Canyon Railway.  The waning gibbous moon illuminated the silver trains eerily; I tried to take a picture but it didn't come out quite how it looked.


Got up super early and headed on into the Grand Canyon South Rim.  We ended up hiking around five miles or so over the course of the whole day, and I took about 1.2 million pictures (well, about 100).  We saw coyotes, tons of deer, squirrels that were ready to rifle through our backpacks, and turkey vultures. Awesome trip.

Here's pics! (click our pic above).

Mystery Trip?

I've been told to pack a sweater and a long sleeve shirt and wear jeans and my hikers. We leave tonight and head north for a few hours before stopping at a hotel. Tomorrow, all I know is we start early and end late and probably hiking a few miles. Got a new pair of 8-24x50 binoculars in preparation for... I have no idea. The binocs are sweet though!

Hmm... adventure awaits? Here's my prediction -- Grand Canyon! (I'll blog on Monday after I've found out where in the heck we're going in the little yellow roadster). :)

Have a great weekend everyone!
