Easter break this year found us travelling farther than some of us have ever gone in our lives! Hubby has a very short bucket list - as in there was only one thing on it - he wanted to see the Grand Canyon. So we decided to take a trip to Arizona to visit Pepere and Memere and make a side trip to the "Big Ditch" (Pat's name for it!) while we were out there.
We arrived in Phoenix on Saturday and drove to the Grand Canyon Sunday for an overnight. Sunday evening we went on the Sunset bus tour and Monday morning we took the Hermits Rest bus tour. We did a lot of traveling in those first 3 days of the trip, but it was well worth it!
The rest of the week through Friday we spent time with Pepere and Memere. We saw the Arizona Opry show, went horse back riding, and watched cattle rustling, toured an old mining ghost town (where Jocelyn had her first **real** beer - root beer that is!), and ate pizza for dinner one night while being entertained by a man playing a HUGE organ.
During the trip, I took advantage of Memere's long arm quilting machine to quilt Jocelyn's new heart quilt that I've been working on for her!!
It was a fun, educational, enlightening, tiring, exciting, special trip, and we are so glad we went!!
