On Sunday we drove from Farmington, New Mexico (where we spent the night) to see the Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona. It was about a five hour drive to the South Rim. We had originally wanted to walk along the Skywalk but we learned that it is a five hour drive from the park entrance and that it cost $80.00 each! We decided to stay at the South Rim instead. It was unbelievably crowded (I may or may not have had a small meltdown trying to find a parking spot) but we were able to have lunch and see a viewpoint near the Grand Canyon Village.
It is very impressive (almost worth all of the trouble we had getting a parking spot). We ended up going on the Desert View Drive on our way out of the park and we were able to stop at every viewpoint. We should have done this to start with!
It was a little bit stressful at first to visit the Grand Canyon but it ended up being a good day. Go here for more information.
Note: While we were driving through Arizona I noticed a sign for the city of Winslow. Marilyn and I got really excited and asked Sean to pose on a corner.
He thought we were crazy until we played him "Take It Easy" by the Eagles.
