The Grand Canyon

Benny and I celebrated our 1st year anniversary a few weeks ago. We took a trip to the Grand Canyon. We had never been there so we thought it would be fun to experience it together. I must say that I was blown away. We of course, took our cameras to document our trip so enjoy a few of my favorites.

Our first night we stayed in Kingman. This is their old county court house.

Check out the sign

We decided to take the back way to the west side of the Grand Canyon. BIG MISTAKE!
This sign was right and so wrong. Yes, it was rough. This was by far one of the bumpiest (is that a word?) roads that I've ever been on and it wasn't for 10 miles it was more like 70 or 90 miles.

it got better once I spotted some animalsPhotobucket

The next day we found a Calvary Chapel in Williams, AZ. It is a small congregation and would you believe that they have parking problems too?

This time we went to the Grand Canyon National Park. The drive is absolutely beautiful. Big white fluffy clouds, blue skies and tall green trees everywhere.

Ta da...the Grand Canyon. Lets all remember that I love to take pictures of people and that I am not a landscape photographer. =)
