Grand Canyon!!

Yesterday we drove up to the Grand Canyon (just under 4 hours from our house) and were amazed at the sights. Neither of us had ever been there before, and seriously, you have to see it in person to realize just how massive that thing is. We drove part of the way along the south rim, and then watched the sun set from the south eastern edge. It was awesome. It was cold too! When we left Phoenix it was about 75 degrees, and by the time the sun set at the canyon it was 33 degrees. The wind up there is COLD! Here are some pictures, including sunset.

Dad's Visit

My dad was here last week, and we had lots of fun. The week started out with a Minnesota meal of pan fried walleye, wild rice, and pasties. It was delicious. We went golfing a couple of times, and dad got a hole in one! We played Palm Valley, which is about 15 minutes from my house, and then the next day played the course in my neighborhood but it was insanely hard so we probably wont play that one again.


It was also race weekend at the Phoenix International Raceway, so we went and watched the nascar races on Thursday and Saturday. We had perfect weather and saw a couple good races.

We ended the weekend with a good meal at the Old Pueblo Cafe.

Tomorrow we are headed to the Grand Canyon! Pat has the week off of classes and the 10 day forecast is 75 and sunny!
