Yep, we went to the Grand Canyon last Saturday and we had a great time, well mostly a great time. Let me give you a break down of our trip.
8:00 am pdt, leave apartment
8:01 am pdt, stop at McDonalds
8:05 am pdt, Bill comes out with 2 sausage and egg McMuffins, and giant coke (I already ate breakfast)
8:06 am pdt, hit the road, headed for the south rim in Arizona
9:00 am pdt, Bill starts feeling like booty (another word for sick) from eating 2 sausage and egg McMuffins
9:10 am pdt, Bill confesses that he always feels ill after eating 2 sausage and egg McMuffins, and wishes he hadn't eaten them
9:12 am pdt, Kate gets bugged that Bill is getting sick from eating crap, even when he knew he shouldn't have eaten it
12:30 pm pdt (yes it taks 4 1/2 hours to get to the Grand Canyon (south rim) from Las Vegas), arrive at the Grand Canyon
12:45 pm pdt, eat more junk food at Wendy's (limited options in the city by the GC)
1:15 pm pdt, drive into the park to partake of the beauty of the Grand Canyon, take lots and lots of pictures that all look the same but are cool nonetheless. (this goes on all day)
1:20 pm pdt, realize that we are about the only English speaking people there (apparently the Euro is doing MUCH better than the US dollar which equals vacation in America and a trip to the "Wild West")
4:00 pm pdt, leave the Grand Canyon to drive the 4 1/2 hours back to LV
7:00 pm pdt, stop in Kingman to have dinner, Bill got to choose so we had stuffed crust pizza at Pizza Hut (you'd think he would have learned his lesson from his breakfast, but apparently not)
8:00 pm pdt, leave Kingman and start looking for the Las Vegas turn off
9:00 pm pdt, cross over the California boarder, yes that is correct we saw this sign except it was very dark!
9:01 pm pdt, start panicking and ask for directions.11:02 pm pdt, drive into Las Vegas, hallelujah.
It was a very long day, but I'd say, the Grand Canyon was worth it!

Sounds like fun! We never ended up making it to the GC while we were out there. whoops. :)
good times!
Nice... McDonald's breakfast and long car ride.. classic.
Ha! California, I would've been panicking too. I'm glad you got to see the GC though. Clark wishes we would've stopped on our way to Texas. Hey, Happy Anniversary today. Hope you guys go and do something fun!!
Thanks Jo, today is the big day-- 3 years. yawsa, you guys are coming up pretty quick!
Hmm, that McDondonald's breakfast conversation seems awfully familiar. This is why men have wives - to say I told you so.
Wow, how cool. I was watching a show the other day about the Grand Canyon and it made me want to visit there so bad. That's great you guys had that opportunity.
