A little spring break!





So lucky for me... and my feeling of being a little trapped and going a little Jack Torrance, Hubby got a couple days off of his long stretch of working like a dog! I jumped on it and decided that it was time for a road trip.... bald tires and all. We headed West, way out west, to the lovely town/city of Flagstaff! Our first stop was THE GRAND CANYON, which believe it or not I or Kenneth had never been (well to clarify I have been once when I was a itty-bitty baby, but that doesn't really count). It was a really really big ditch! No really it was beautiful. I hope to go back and do some hiking someday. Ty and I decided it would be fun to do the hike to the bottom and camp thing someday. We also had a little picnic. When we had checked out of the Grand Canyon we headed back to Flagstaff. We decided to try Salsa Brava for dinner. It was one of the Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. It was delicious! We headed to a couple of book stores and then called it a night. The next day we spent exploring Flag a little. Its really a nice little city, and by highway holds the closest Target to my house.... so I will probably be heading back! On the way home we grabbed a DQ and called it a great little trip!

Love, love, love, going to The Grand Canyon. I'm always amazed by the beauty.

Sounds like a nice little trip!

Running miles completely count. There may come a time when I run instead of walk, but I'm taking it slow for now.

What a great trip! Good for you! When we were in Niagara we were commenting that we lived 4+ hours away from our own 7th wonder of the world, yet never took advantage of visiting it. Maybe some day...
