Spontaneous Weekend

Last weekend, Brad got a wild hair, and decided he wanted to go to Arizona to buy a truck. Tax season at this point was in full swing and I needed a break, so we left to Arizona on Saturday morning and came home Sunday night. It was a short trip, but we had so much fun, it was exactly what we needed.

I posted a picture of the truck we purchased above. Brad is going to kill me because this is the only picture we have of it and he didn't want me to post it until he cleaned it up and made it look all pretty, ie put wheels and tires on it and lift it, etc.

The Phoenix airport was really neat. It had a huge wall with rock and a huge old airplane hanging from the ceiling.

Once we picked up the truck we decided to take it easy on our way home and make all the stops we wanted. On the way we found the Montezuma Castle National Monument. It was really neat.

It's crazy to think that people actually lived in those. Man I am glad I was born when I was.

Next we stopped at another monument, but I can't remember what it was called. It was a little lake or a big pond with Indian dwellings around it.

My favorite part of the trip was stopping at the Grand Canyon, see below! We only had about 4 hours to see the Grand Canyon. It was also about 40 degrees outside and really windy. Unfortunately Brad did not bring a coat or a jacket, so he was miserable. It was so awesome though, I can't wait to go back really soon and see more of the Grand Canyon.

Below is a picture of my favorite thing we saw at the Grand Canyon. It is a place where the Indians used to come and have ceremonies and stuff. It had Indian drawings on all of the walls and the ceilings. It was fascinating

Seriously this is one of my new favorite places to go and I can not wait to go back and explore the canyon some more!
