A Grand Adventure
Mom
was the only one out of the bunch that had seen the majesty of the
Grand Canyon before we visited there together as a family. She made
sure to get ahead of us as we approached so that she could see our
expressions when we finally saw it for the first time in all its glory.
It's hard to imagine what the early settlers must have thought when
they came upon it back in the day! It was certainly two things -
massive and beautiful!!

Unfortunately, we were able to locate any photos from our brief time in New Mexico, but we did stop to eat at a restaurant in Albuquerque as we drove through.
Have you ever spent time at the Grand Canyon?

The Grand Canyon is definitely on our list! I'm thinking 2017. It looks just amazing. Plus, I want to check out Flagstaff as I have been campaigning to move there and get rid of these horrible MN winters!
