Ryan and I were talking last weekend and we realized this last weekend was the last weekend before football starts! We decided we better hurry and plan a vacation!! We decided to go to the Grand Canyon, neither of us had been there before. So we planned the trip real quick! We left on Thursday, July 30. I am such a geek (no comments please) I made my kids these packets for the trip. They were on the Grand Canyon and Four Corners. Then I printed a bunch of activities for them to do in the car. I printed them each a travel journal. I am going to include some of that in my posts as well. I am going to use their spelling and everything...fyi
August 2:
Today we slept in! We had breakfast and then started our drive to Moab, Utah. I absolutely love Moab! It is so different from here, I think that is why, I like the change. We went on a couple of hikes, then ate lunch and then we headed over to Arches National Park. (Our annual park pass has really come in handy by now!) We walked out to the Delicate Arch look out and it was sooo hot (100 degrees) and the wind was hot as well, I felt like I was going to pass out. It was awful. We just drove around the rest of the time. Then we headed for home. We got home at about 8:30. It was about a 1000 mile trip in three days, but it was a lot of fun and so worth it! My kids were so good the entire time! I was so impressed! What a great family vacation! It is nice to be home.
