Grand Canyon

In April of 1996 we enjoyed a wonderful trip to the Grand Canyon. The first night we stayed in Kingman, Arizona and then on the way to Williams, Arizona, we stopped at a little shop with a large dinosaur out front that had an entrance to a deep cave inside. It was something we weren’t used to in California, and we all got a kick out of it. From Williams, we took The Grand Canyon Railway tour to the Grand Canyon, The train ride was really fun. They had actors that reenacted a robbery and shoot out on the train. We all really enjoyed that. Touring the Grand Canyon was really scary for me, because there are not many rails or fences to separate you from falling into the Grand Canyon. I was so nervous about the little ones, we hiked down the canyon about a mile and came back. I was quite relieved when we finally got back on the train and headed back to Williams. From there we went to Laughlin Nevada and had a few problems with our hotel because we tried to sleep seven people in a room that was meant for four people. We got in trouble at the pool because we had more people than we were supposed to (a little embarrassing). We got it straightened out and had a lot of fun playing in the pool with the kids. It was a really fun trip!
