Afterwards we jumped back onto the road and drove straight to Victorville, CA! We crossed over into the state and the new time zone and got to enjoy nothing but desert! Yay!
It was funny though, as we crossed into California we had to stop at an inspection station, where it turned out we were illegally smuggling fruit!! GASP!
Yes, they confiscated our grapes and oranges we had in our cooler for the trip out. I'm not really sure as to why.... my top guess? The guard was hungry.
Anyway, after realizing we were transporting illegal fruit we drove through the desert and witnessed a beautiful sunset! The mountains were literally purple! The song now makes sense to me!!
Well here are some photos... because I'm so tired I'm not going to post videos. I'll save some for later.
This was the view from our hotel in Flagstaff.
Me packing up the car to get back on the road!
Amazing views on the road to the Grand Canyon!
The Grandest of all the Canyons ever!
These benches made me so happy!
Us at the Grand Canyon. (we got so many of us from different angles... I like this one!)
Sarah taking in the views.
More beautiful Canyon!
I decided to make a jump for the other side....
Saw this Elk as we were leaving! It was so weird to see, it was so close!
The South Entrance Gate to the park!
Sarah ran into an old friend in the woods!
Then Smokey decided to tell us about the Fire Danger Level! Whew! I was happy to hear the good news about it being low that day!
We arrive to our new home state!
I may not post tomorrow, because after we move in we won't have good internet until the AT&T guy comes on Saturday! So we'll update everyone as soon as we can!
Thanks for following along so far... keep checking to see how we fare in Los Angeles!!
Sarah and I both had a really fun trip... but are also very ready to get to our apartment and move in!
Someday, brother, we will have to go to the Grand Canyon together and take the greatest falling picture of all time.
ReplyDeleteAlso: Smokey the Bear is really buff. Didn't expect that...
Good luck with moving in!
Those pictures at the edge of the canyon just gave me the heebie-jeebies! The one with Sarah sitting at on the edge had me leaning back into my couch (so as to prevent her from tumbling forward, lol). You did me in with the jump shot! Hopefully your poor mother won't see that. -Stacy
