OUR GRAND CANYON VISIT

May 3rd -7th: David and I decided we needed to take an adults only vacation since it may be a while before we can escape just the two of us since we soon will be a family of four. We decided to go to Arizona. Below are some of the things we did.

We went to a Diamondbacks baseball game in Phoenix. They have such a nice stadium. This is the fifth stadium we have visited.


We drove to Sedona, which was about an hour and a half from our resort in Peoria. This is the Chapel of the Holy Cross. It was built right into the big red rocks. I was really surprised at how beautiful Sedona was.

After Sedona we decided to drive to the Grand Canyon, which was a couple of hours from Sedona. We found a place with few trees and watched the sun set. The Grand Canyon is chilly at night.


We took a hike into the Grand Canyon. The path was really narrow and of course there was no rails and it was a long way down if you fell. The hike down was easy but the hike up was exhausting.

One of the coolest things we did was to take a helicopter ride over the Canyon. We really saw a different view on the Canyon from the air. I got to sit in the front with the pilot and it was an awesome ride.

Waiting to take off. I was really nervous because I didn't get to sit with David.
