Grand Canyon

The Grand Canyon has a special place in my heart.  It is where I done my first long hike and it was with Elizabeth.  Before we were married, Elizabeth and I hiked over 60 miles in the Grand Canyon.  After spending 6 days hiking without showers and not killing each other - I figured she would be a good girl to marry!

Another night sleeping in the car!

We spent a little to much time at Yosemite and the elephant seals, so we had to push it to the Grand Canyon.  We stopped at 1:20 am and were back on the road at 5:20 - some random rest stop!  We made it on schedule.  This is one of the few stops we met up with someone.  Tom and Lisa Conner drove up from Phoenix to meet us!  Plus, they were nice enough to let us clean up in there hotel room!

Del Taco

And Thank You Del Taco, I missed you!  The best Mexican fast food there is!

First stop in AZ....Kingman.

When we first arrive in AZ, Chris almost took a job in Kingman - where there are hungry dogs!

One of our previous residence....Arizona.

Tadpoles

One of Brooklyn's favorite things was sitting by the river at our Redwoods camp ground and watching the tadpoles.  Yes, out of everything we have see she LOVES the tadpoles!

Elizabeth is driving!

Elizabeth is driving for a bit, so I got to blog!  We are now steering toward the east, with just under 5000 miles.  We have about 5-6 more parks to hit, before getting home in time I can return to work :(.  The girls have been great and we are loving the trip.
