Grand Canyon Road Trip

Austin just finished up with another rotation, so over the weekend we decided we needed to take a little family vacation and get out of Glendale for a few days. We have tried planning trips to northern Arizona before, but always came up with an excuse not to do it. Well this time we were going to be adventurous! Austin finished up with a test Friday morning, and then we were off to Flagstaff for the night! This was Paxton's first road trip and he did great :D He slept most of the time which made for a nice drive.
It was so crazy as we made the two hour drive to Flagstaff how much the landscape changed! One minute it is cactus and desert, and the next it is beautiful trees and forests. 
Paxton had never really experienced anything below 70 degrees, so arriving in Flagstaff and feeling the cool 40 degree air on his face was quite a shock! He did get to use some of the cute sweaters that grandma got for him though :D
Saturday we got all ready and made another short drive to the Grand Canyon. It was absolutely beautiful once we made it there. We made it to the first look out point and all the sudden Austin tells me not to turn around. I then hear a few people exclaiming that there was a tarantula!! Those nasty spiders are my BIGGEST fear! Everyone around was look and taking pictures, but I just wanted to get as far away from it as I could! After that we had a great time walking around and taking lots of pictures. We only went to one lookout point, but you could literally spend days going to all the different sights.
We had to try out our panoramic feature on the iphone
Happy Boy at the Grand Canyon!
We really did have such a fun time making memories together as a family :)

  2. The advantage about the funny pictures is that you can watch them along with the family.

  6. People sometimes tend to think, “if only I were a celebrity,
    everything would be better”. You can give
    tips to the workers in the salon, restaurants where the star visit frequently.
    This is why the said Albanian gossip thashetheme celebrity news blog page is
    written in Albanian '.
