Our Across Country Move- Day 2

Merry Christmas from the Grand Canyon! We left Vegas early and set off to the Grand Canyon... it truly is a magnificent creation! I would say everyone should see it at some point in their life. The South Rim is open all year round but the North Rim is only open during the spring and summer since it gets snow. One day Greg and I will go back and hike down into the canyon like he did when he was a little boy in boyscout and also visit the North Rim. I hear the hike is well worth it! Of course the teacher in me has to share how it was created.... :) You can click here to be directed to a site that tells you about its formation.

Below is a collage of pictures and some video of Lillian's first trip to the Grand Canyon (and her mommy's too! ... Daddy had been there before)



After we visited the Grand Canyon we continued our drive to Holbrook, Arizona. On a roadtrip planner site I came across Wig-Wam motels! They are concrete tee-pees along the original Route 66. Of course I HAD to stay in one! The managers of the hotel tired to keep it's historic flare by keeping classic cars parked along the motels. Wikipedia says the Pixar movie Cars parodied the wig-wam villages with the traffic cone motel named, "Cozy Cone Motel".
