(June 2, 2011)
I’m listening to a mix of Tim McGraw, Kenny Chesney, and Jason Aldean as we drive down RTE 40. I’m so excited to go to Austin and see some live country music. I know it’s something my mom would love to go see. And I brought my favorite cowboy boots just for the occasion. We just left Needles, AZ and now the mountains and rocks are towering over the road. My father is a huge fan of the Grand Canyon. I think he’s always wanted to take me. We were going to go during Spring Break and hike around but then I had knee surgery, unfortunately, two weeks before. He always speaks fondly of the Grand Canyon from his childhood. Visiting and exploring the different ridges during his vacations there and what not. Needless to say I am excited.
I cannot even being to describe the Grand Canyon. Grand does not even begin to depict the spectacular views you witness once you’re there. I was trying to find a postcard for my father in the trade store and I couldn’t find one that could even begin to show the beautiful views. During our walk around the ridge, Al, Clay, Dave and I sat take and just soaked it in. It was about 6PM when we were there. The sun glistened off the red rock causing it to look even more surreal; I couldn’t stop taking pictures. I felt like the cheesiest tourist there.
