Sorry I didn't get to post earlier!
We woke up at 6:00 this morning and went downstairs for breakfast. I had Cap'n Crunch cereal because the muffins were some sort of nut flavor. Once we finished, we hit the road for the Grand Canyon. After a while, we made it to Colorado. We were in Colorado for a bit before we arrived at Four Corners National Monument. We took turns assuming the awkward pose where you put one limb in each state and take a picture. The four states were New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, and Utah. All around the monument were the Native Americans of the Navajo Nation that were selling jewelry, pots, sand art, and more. I bought a pair of blue stone earrings.
My mom got a Kokopelli necklace. In case you're not familiar with Kokopelli here he is. He is the general symbol of the American Southwest and he is known to be mischievous.
Right after, we arrived in Arizona.
After some more boring driving through the middle of the desert, we arrived at the Grand Canyon. We decided that we would take a preview for what we were going to see tomorrow. Below are two pictures I took. The first one is of the canyon, and the second one is the traditional "Dead Tree" picture.
Afterwards, we decided that we were going to do the "Bright Angel" hike tomorrow and went off to dinner at Plaza Bonita. It was much better than La Hacienda. Finally we ended up in the hotel, which is where I am now.
Well, until tomorrow!
