For so many years, Corey would have been in the middle of busy season, and would have never thought of taking President's day off with the rest of us. But no more, so we took advantage of it and decided take a trip to the Grand Canyon. It's another place that is not too far, but the kids and I had never been, we knew we needed to see it. Corey had been there as a kid, but it had been a quick trip.
We woke up early and set out on our way. We stopped at the main visitors center and then took the drive down and stopped at many of the lookouts along the way. We just took our time and enjoyed it all.
Such an amazing view to see. We were all in awe.
(I asked Corey on the way about there being fences/ barriers. Of course, I knew there would be, but it still made me nervous and let's be honest, Emery is the type of person that they build the barriers for in the first place. She had me on edge the whole time.)
At the end of the day, we decided to drive to Flagstaff and stay the night. It was a beautiful place. And it's in the mountains and quite cool. That surprised me. Another reason it's fun to travel places, I always thought of Arizona as a just a desert. The kids had a great time swimming at the hotel and we even found a Chik Fil A to enjoy before we headed home. We all had fun and it was a great way to spend a day off from school and work.

The beauty of the Grand Canyon is not easy to fully capture in photographs, but you did an excellent job! Look how much your kids are growing!??
