It felt good to get out of the traffic and head out of town. We enjoyed seeing Hoover Dam but this time we didn’t take the tour. We arrived at Grand Canyon in the middle of the afternoon and headed for the Visitor’s Center to get a little information on how to maximize our time in the park. We took the bus to the Bright Angel Lodge then walked the Rim Trail to Yavapai Point to watch the sunset. It was magical. This visit was all too brief but it gives us more to look forward to when we next visit the Grand Canyon. After dark we drove south to Flagstaff for an overnight.
These are beautiful pictures!!! I am so glad you all are enjoying yourselves! My hubby and I just went to Raleigh, North Carolina and couldnt take it in enough, the weather was gorgeous and hardly any traffic! So much fun!! Thanks for the updates!
I’m sorry I didn’t have a chance to read this sooner. I would have suggested that you visit Bryce Canyon along your travels–really spectacular formations. Put it on your “calendar” for next time.
Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream. In the Apollo Victoria Theater in London’s West End we were witness to the incredible prequel to The Wizard of Oz, the story of the Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
London’s National Portrait Gallery’s temporary exhibition, “Six Lives: The Stories of Henry VIII’s Queens” presents an amazing collection of portraits, jewelry, personal effects, books, costumes, and more to illustrate not only the lives of the six women who married the second Tudor king, but the effort across five centuries to keep their memory alive.
The purpose of our trek to Strawberry Hill House in Twickenham in the southwest of London was to see a recently recovered bronze bust of the Emperor Caligula but we discovered so much more in the recently restored 18th Century “little Gothic castle” built by Horace Walpole.
