The Grand Canyon...

Last weekend, Mitch & I hopped in the car and headed for Arizona! 


We drove to Williams, a small town about 2 hours away from the Grand Canyon, and stayed at the Grand Canyon Railway Hotel.


The next morning, we took a train up to the canyon, and oh, my, goodness! THERE it was! The GRAND canyon indeed! When I looked over at Mitch to check out his reaction, all he said was "Whoaaa" with his jaw dropped!


We stayed the night at the canyon and watched the sunset & sunrise. We both agreed the sunrise was amazing. The colors and shadows and layers of fog---so beautiful.


My favorite part of the trip was the hike we took into the canyon (nothing terribly long, being pregnant and hiking isn't necessarily the easiest task). On the 5 minute hike, we found petroglyphs!


Oh, and this sweet sign that pretty much sums up the Grand Canyon...

That looks so cool. I want to go really bad. Was the train to the canyon right in front of your hotel?

Dan, Yeah- the hotel was right by the train. It was really nice! You & Meghan should look into it. It's super affordable!
