Grand Canyon... CHECK!

This was obviously a must-see on our journey.

It was beautiful. Beautiful and overcrowded quite honestly. The park ranger told us it was the busiest day of the year. The Wednesday after Christmas? Really?! Didn't see that one coming.

Nonetheless we got some great pictures, the kids earned another Junior Ranger badge, we hung out with a few deer and just took it all in. We had one full day to explore the Grand Canyon so we needed to make it a good one. Hope you enjoy this picture-heavy post.

Flagstaff, Arizona

We left Tucson and headed for Flagstaff, Arizona. It was a sad departure but we explained to the boys that we still have a LOT to see and many more adventures to be had.

Let me just start out with saying it was SO cold in Flagstaff. E banned all type of cold-weather RV-ing after that trip. It was slippery, wet, cold and just icky for the guy who hooks up everything. Thank you, babe! We couldn't even keep our hoses hooked up because they would freeze. We instead had to fill up our tanks and empty them during the day and then put them away when finished. Again, time consuming and hand-numbing for the guy who stands outside for the 30 or so minutes it takes to do all that business.
