Day 1 of Family Vacation



Jan and I left home at 4:45 am to make our 6 am flight out of Daytona. Mom and Dad's flight left Charlotte at 7:30 am. We met up in Phoenix and after I got the car - we headed north to Sedona. A beautiful 'artisan' style town, it reminds me a lot of Sante Fe. We did some exploring on the back roads until it was time to head north toward the Grand Canyon.

Nothing can prepare anyone for the first time they see the Grand Canyon and both mom and dad were very excited they saw it. We then headed to the town of Williams Arizona and stayed in the oldest hotel in Arizona - the Grand Canyon Hotel. Pretty cool place. We watched a 'street show' of 4 cowboys shooting it out in town then had dinner and went to be somewhere around 8:30 pacific time. It was a very long day.
