On Friday we woke up and started heading to the Grand Canyon. On the way we stopped at Zion National Park. It was really pretty and fun to see where my parents used to camp when they were my age.
Colorado River, Arizona
While driving to the Grand Canyon we stopped and took some pictures of the Colorado River from the bridge.

We got to the Grand Canyon on Friday afternoon and were able to get a campsite for the night. We set up camp and then drove around the canyon. If you have never been to the Grand Canyon…the pictures do not do it justice. It was one of the most amazing things I have seen by far. That night Lyn and I walked out on the rocks and watched the sunset. It was beautiful! After we watched the sunset we went back to the campsite and Lyn cooked us steak for dinner. We woke up early the next morning and headed towards Sin City.

Hoover Dam
On the way to Vegas we drove by the Hoover Dam.
Vegas, Nevada
We made it to Vegas around 4 in the afternoon and decided to rest up for the night festivities. We went to Margaritaville for dinner and headed to O’Sheas for some gambling. The poker table and craps table did not treat either one of us well…but we were able to win back what we lost the next morning at the craps table. When we were heading to the car to leave I realized that I did not have my keys. I had locked them in the car! Luckily Lyn checked the back door and I had to wedge myself through the boxes to get to the keys. That could have been a disaster!
Apple Valley, California
After Vegas we headed towards my aunt, Marjatta’s house. We stopped and rode the roller coaster at Wild Bill’s. It was a lot of fun! We got to my aunts around 7 and had an amazing dinner. We spent the night visiting with each other and having a blast.
Van Nuys, California
The next morning we woke up and drove to Van Nuys to see my grandpa. We spent the day talking and drinking beer. We had the pleasure of going to Martha and Lisa’s house as well. It was good to see that my grandpa has great neighbors to keep him in line! After we visited with the neighbors we went back to grandpa’s house and he cooked us a wonderful steak dinner. It was really nice to see him and I think Lyn had a great time meeting him too!
Big Sur, California
Yesterday we left my grandpa’s house early and headed towards San Francisco. We took the coast and went through Big Sur. The scenery up the coast was beautiful!

We got to Greta and Ale’s house in San Francisco around 5 in the evening. We decided to have a bonfire of the beach with Greta, Ale and their roommates and friends from Venezuela. We had a great time visiting, playing games and standing around the fire with the ocean in the background.
Today we are heading to the Redwoods and Greta, Ale and Alfredo decided to come along! I am so excited they are joining us for another night of our adventure to Alaska!
WOW Lacey! The west sure is beautiful - glad you guys are still having a blast! Love the pictures :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely incredible Lace! I'm so proud of you for doing this! And by the way - that's so classic seeing your butt hanging out the back of the car. Only you would do that - everyone else would just call AAA.
