Craig and I were able to get away for a long weekend and headed to the Grand Canyon. We're not really into camping, but figured we could make it a couple of days sleeping in a tent and cooking on a gas stove - the best part about this camping experience was that we had flushing toilets AND showers. Is that still considered camping?
This is our beautiful camp. We got the very last campsite, which happened to be handicap accessible - it was flat and close to the flushing toilets.
Another self-timed shot. I was the designated runner - you can totally see the stump that the camera was on! Just behind the trees is the rim to the canyon. We saw so many people drinking alcohol and walking close to the edge, thinking they would fall off - I was surprised not to witness any fatalities.
On Saturday, we went on hike called Widforss Trail. It followed the rim and had the most beautiful view at the end - it was amazing! Craig was disappointed that we didn't see any Mountain Lions... I was grateful NOT to see any.
We also drove to another lookout area - we used the self-timer on one of the pictures, but a guy saw me running to pose and insisted that he take a picture of us. I thought I could make it home without anyone taking a picture of us together.
We had so much fun on this mini-vacation and realized that there are tons of fun things to do that are close to us! It's not even that hard to cook on a camp stove. In fact, I think we ate better on this trip than we do at home. Next stop: Yellowstone!
I learned how to do a picture collage!.
Fun! I love weekend vacations!
ReplyDeleteEr, you are so funny. Too bad we didn't get together this summer. You guys really have been having a blast-by the way, I really like the background scenery in that first timer-picture. ;)
ReplyDeleteThat looks so fun! I need a weekend vacation major bad! You guys are much better at using the self timer than we are, we never look normal after running to get in the picture!
