SheaNanigans: Road Trip To The Grand Canyon

Well I can now check Grand Canyon off my goal list for 2011.

It all started around 10:30 pm on Saturday...

Bear: Want to go on a road trip?

Me: YES!! LETS GO TO THE GRAND CANYON

Bear,Brock,Ben: OKAY!

Everyone else: You guys are crazy!

So we left at 10:45pm with no plans and only the clothes on our back. With 6 stops, 2 hours of sleep, and San Diego behind us, we finally arrived at 8 am. When we arrived, Ranger Dan showed us where to go and we headed out to explore the GC. We walked around on the south rim sky deck, hiked around a bit, and found some awesome caves. We also visited a beautiful hotel where we enjoyed some yummy hot chocolate. After that, we decided to stay the night in the car. The boys searched for fire wood and I got the car ready for the night. After that we cooked hot dogs. We were so tired we decided to go to bed at 7 pm, but once we got in the car we realized this was a bad idea. First of all, it was 18 degrees and snowing, so we were freezing. Surprisingly the Prius is not comfortable to sleep in. So around 12pm we all agreed to get a hotel ( THANKS DAD)! We all slept like babies and in the morning we headed back.

It was a GREAT trip all in all. The spontaneity of the adventure was the best. We had no expectations and no plans, we took everything in and enjoyed each others company. I wouldn't have wanted to do it with anyone else. SO thanks boys for a great trip!
