Well Dave was able to get himself a five-day weekend this weekend due to Lincoln's Birthday and President's Day so we decided to take a little trip. Thursday morning we woke up and drove over to Flagstaff, AZ. It was about a 5 1/2 hour drive. We were a little bit nervous about Emma being in the car for that long, but she did REALLY well - she was a Super Trooper! :)
On Friday morning we woke up and drove up to the Canyon. I had been there a couple of times before, but Dave had never been so it was a new thing for him. Our car had froze overnight so before we could get out we had to take a trip to the auto parts store. The clerks knew Dave personally after his 3rd trip in there - it was very funny. First he had to buy new windshield wipers, then oil, then he had to go get a funnel for the oil. It was very amusing, but we finally made it to the Grand Canyon and we had a wonderufl time.
It was very snowy and cold up there so we couldn't do much hiking or keep Emma out for too long, but we were able to take a scenic drive around a part of the rim. It was gorgeous and very amazing.
We drove home yesterday, Valentine's Day, and are now enjoying a couple of relaxing days at home. It was a very fun trip and here are a some of the pictures:
