Not Sewing Related --- Trip to Arizona

I just wanted to share a few pictures from our trip to Arizona. It started out at the bottom of the state in Tombstone. For any of you who have seen the movie "Tombstone" let me just say it was like stepping back in time. I had SO much fun there. The town is just like you would imagine back in the 1800's. We went on a ghost tour, watch a reenactment of the gun fight at the OK Corral and even had a drink at the famous Crystal Palace Saloon. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed our time there.
We took a tour of Tombstone the old fashion way....................Stage Coach!

What fun this was. I will remember this trip always!!

Now on the the main attraction of the trip to Arizona. We drove from Tombstone all the way through the whole state to get to the Grand Canyon. Neither one of us had ever been there, so needless to say we were VERY excited. I've seen many pictures and television shows of the grand canyon, but nothing prepared me for the true majesty of it. It really is one of God's greatest masterpieces. We took TONS of pictures so here are just a few. Hope you enjoy!

We encountered a bull elk right in the yard of one of the hotels along the rim of the canyon. It was amazing to get that close to such a beautiful, wild animal.

We even got to take a mule ride. It was a three hour trip and SO much fun!! My bottom and legs paid for it the next day. This body is not use to riding a mule or anything else for that matter!!

You can see the Colorado river in the center of the picture.

Well, I hope you all enjoyed the pictures. It was a trip I'll never forget. Ok, enough of this computer stuff...................it's back to sewing!!

Oh, one more thing....................I wanted to say to my nieces Jen and Nicki, thanks for the comments. I read your blogs everyday and I miss you so much!! I can't tell you how proud I am of both of you and what beautiful families you have. Jen, you look great, and Nick I can't believe how crafty you're getting. I wish everday that I was there to be a part of your everyday lives. That's enough of the sappy stuff, I just want you both to know I love you!!
