Eli and I took a trip to the Grand Canyon and oh my gosh was it cool. My Grandma said it didn't matter what time of year you went, it was beautiful no matter what season. However, we were glad we went when it was still cool outside, plus it was off season so there wasn't tons of people there. The drive out took roughly 6 hours and had some great desert scenery on the way. After we checked into our hotel we picked up the pass for the car and drove into the park. Wow-I was in awe when I first saw it. The canyon almost doesn't look real--it's hard to fathom something that big and that old. Eli and I picked a spot to watch the sunset and while we were driving there we saw Elk right by the side of the street! We admired them safely from the car and took a few pictures. The sunset was awesome--it definitely gets cold quickly though.
The next morning we got up and drove to a different part of the canyon. We also hiked down a ways on one of the trails--that was pretty cool. The two of us decided that maybe one day we can hike down to the bottom and spend the night, then hike back the next morning. Obviously we will need to take a few baby camping trips first :) I wanted to head to Sedona for lunch. The drive there was also very neat--lots of huge red rocks. We ate at a great mexican restaurant, it was much milder than Albuquerque's mexican food. It was such a fun trip--easily one of my favorite things we've done this year.
