Our trip to the Grand Canyon

Here comes a long, but very overdue blog...

After 3 years living in Arizona, it took an imminent move back to the East coast to get us motivated to go up to the Grand Canyon. We had a great trip, more below...

All ready to go, loaded in the car with all the friends...


First stop, Flagstaff and the Lowell Observatory. This is the tomb of Percival Lowell, the astroner who observed canals on Mars and did some of the work leading up to discovery of Pluto. Very cool place, Greg liked it so much, that he went back a few weeks later to see a night viewing of Saturn...


Come on mom and dad, yall are too slow... We decided to go in the East entrance of the South Rim and were able to avoid most of the masses of humanity that come in the more usual entrance at the Grand Canyon Village...



On top of the world


Mom and Nora


Don't get close to what edge? I'm not afraid one bit... I want to get closer to see the Chocolate Milk (Colorado) river


Kindly stranger took family photo, but someone's getting grumpy...
This was at Lipan Point, my favorite view of the canyon and the river


Look, purple rock (Granny D, maybe Nora will be the geologist)...


Tired out, a very good trip...
