Ah, the Grand Canyon!

What a ... grand ... ... canyon ...

I've always loved these WPA-era signs. They remind me that there once was a time in this country when people cared about something bigger than their own self-interest. How quaint.


Nice view from the South Rim.


Afternoon shadows.


Mesas and plateaus as far as the eye can see -- a geography teacher's dream.


The happy family pauses for their moment in the sun.


Kris and her parents.


Mom and Nora, hand-in-hand.


Dinner in Williams at a cool, Route 66-themed brewpub.


The day ended with ice cream, as usual.

We went to the GC once. And my husband told my kids to get away from the edge so many times, we are not going back.....ever. Looks like you guys had fun. We visited Thomas The Tank Engine in Williams. Cute little town.

We didn't see much of Williams but liked what we saw. We spent most of the second day in Flagstaff, which is fast becoming one of my favorite American cities.
