Grand Canyon Vacation: Planes, Trains and Automobiles!!!

We are back from our vacation—exhausted, but happy. We have had a very busy, fun filled, packed exodus. We traveled to Arizona to visit my parents, drove route 66 to Oatman to feed to burros, went for a ride on Thomas and shook Sir Topham Hat’s hand at Day out for Thomas, took the train to and from the Grand Canyon, wondered the trails around the rim, and experienced being robbed by “Mean Jim” the train robber (special make a wish event) on the return train ride.

As we wondered up one of the rim trails, James hand “firmly” clasped in mine, we realized that no matter how many pictures you take, it just won’t match the majesty of the place. As I sat there taking it all in, I couldn’t help but feel awed. It was absolutely amazing!!! Time went by so quickly and we barely scratched the surface of the place. We most certainly will return some day and spend more time exploring all aspects of the Canyon. Over the next few days I will tell you more about our adventures. For now, here is our first glimpse of the Canyon.
