Exploring Grand Canyon and Sedona

The RV headed in for service and we headed to the Grand Canyon. We drove around the South Rim and explored the park by car with a few short hikes to see the true beauty of this natural wonder of the world.
Troy figured out how to use the timer on the camera, now we can actually take photos with both of us :) Next trip to the Grand Canyon we want to hike down into the Canyon and stay at the Phantom Ranch for the night. Can you believe there is a ranch at the bottom of the Canyon?

The next morning we headed to Prescott to see Aunt Sherri and Uncle Bob. With the RV parked in their driveway (Yup, we pulled the RV into their driveway and stole electricty from Uncle Bob's "Man Mansion") and let Aunt Sherri drive us around Prescott to show us their favorite sites. First we headed to Granite Dells, very cool rock formations that Troy decided he needed to conquer.

We walked around Prescott's historic downtown which was full of interesting old bars (Whiskey Row) and great little shops (which Lisa resisted, you are welcome Uncle Bob!). Afterwards we went to Lynx Lake, a favorite spot of Uncle Bob's and Aunt Sherri's to enjoy the sun, we were finally in a place with good weather!
The following morning we explored Sedona, AZ. Red Rock formations were everywhere as were the "Dirt Devils" that chased us while we were viewing Cathedral Rock.
Thanks for a great visit and for the use of your washer and dryer - still haven't had to use the Laundromat!

Ok so jealous!!! It is great to see your adventures real time. Wish you could have stuffed me in your suitcase, or on the roof, anywhere really. What amazing photos and memories you have in such a short time. Lisa you are going to need multiple scrapbooks when this is all done. Can't wait to hear more. Be safe and miss you. Elena

I'm enjoying your Blog.  I even have a chuckle when I read about your little problems.  I always said to Walt:  What's the worst scenerio? and then went from there. We have been to some of these places. Enjoy your travels. They give me some of my best memories!!! Dorothy
