Between tuesday morning and yesterday, Mom and I have driven just over 1,400 miles. We stopped in Albuquerque, NM our first night and stayed at the Sandia Hotel which had some wonderful views to wake up to before we left at 6:30am to head to the GRAND CANYON.
I Won't try and describe how amazing it is, because no word or picture can really do it justice. Mind blowing, unreal, jaw dropping, it is absolutely astonishing to sit and look at. So part of the deal with visiting the canyon, was that my mom had to camp. Which meant my high maintenance momma slept in a tent on a cot. I have to hand it to her cause she was champ! The first morning at the canyon I decided to go hike into the canyon on the South Kabib Trail. I hiked about 1.5 miles in, for an elevation change of 2,000 ft. It was like hiking a mountain backwards, getting down there was easy. But climbing out was a whole new challenge. However getting down into the canyon allows ya to see some wonderful views. Next time I return to the canyon I am determined to hike to the river!
This is my friend SQUIRREL. He only loved me for my granola and banana I was eating. If only Zoe was with me this squirrel would have been her new chew toy.
So after camping for 2 nights, Vickie got her wish and we are in Las Vegas until monday. We have tickets to see Love by Cirque du Soleil tomorrow night and besides that I plan on spending most of my time soaking up the rays by the pool before I go into Hibernation in Colorado. I have 7 days until I start the internship so these last few days of hanging with my mom and seeing some beautiful sights is just what I needed.
