Thanks to Nevada Day, Matt had the day off on Friday. We are trying to see all the great sites near Vegas, so we decided to make the 2 1/2 hr trek through the desert to see the majestic Grand Canyon. It was a great day trip, with perfect weather, amazing vistas, and John was so good! He napped in the car both ways and the timing worked out perfectly for all his needs. The Grand Canyon provides some views that are incredible photo opps, so here is what we caught on our camera:
The Skywalk [behind us] is made of glass floor panels above an 800 foot drop to the Colorado River. I'm sure it's a rush; Google it- the video is exciting. It cost $26/person just to enter the area, and adding in the Skywalk would have totaled to $86/person , so we just enjoyed the view from the edge. The views are still incredible!
Eagle Point (see the body of the eagle to our right, with massive wings spread out behind us)
John was in such a great mood! Apparently bonking his fist against his nose is the funniest thing ever!

What a gorgeous and fun day!
Great pictures Becca and Matt....Keep them coming!
ReplyDeleteWow! I haven't been to the Grand Canyon either. Maybe Ezra and I will have to try and take a little trip there. The Eagle Point is really cool though and you guys look beautiful!
