Grand Canyon Arizona


We wanted to share our vacation with you. On June 14th we began our 5 week vacation throughout the United States. First we met Samantha in Wells, NV to give her two children back to her for they had spent 2 1/2 weeks with us here in CA. Sierra was the most homesick and ready to return home to see her father and brothers. We then started our trip first stopping to vsit Harry's sister in Kingsmen, AZ. Rose and Rick were really fun to visit, my only sadness is that our visit was so short. When we left there home we went to the Grand Canyon taking the scenic route through the park. We didn't take the time to take the horseback rides, or take any hikes down into the park but we did stop and enjoy many of the road side tourist stops. We even went into the tower to see the park. The tower had petroglyphs on the walls, gifts, and souveniers to purchase. There were three levels from which to view the park. We had a good time though the weather was very hot for the desert climate. We walked back into the ruins where the indians had lived many years ago reading many of the plaques. We then continued on HWY 40 east to visit my step-daughter Angie at Fort Campbell in Kentucky. She got to meet Harry and we went to dinner at a chinese buffet there. Her husband is in Afghanistan for a year, it was really good to see her and talk to him when he called.
