After a cereal breakfast we were ready for our first day in Grand Canyon National Park. We caught a shuttle bus around 9:00am to the Mather Point Visitor Center. From there we walked the Rim Walk for about a mile to the Yavapai Point Geology Museum.
The view along the way just defies words…awesome, amazing, how about just GRAND. At Yavapai we did a brief walk-thru of the museum. Preston decided he was hungry. Lunch sounded like a good idea so we caught the shuttle to Market Plaza for a yummy lunch at Yavapai Lodge Café. The boys had fried chicken thighs, Ray had a brat, and I had chicken pot pie. Since we had eaten only PBJs for dinner last night I think we were all hungry.
After lunch we grabbed a shuttle to El Tovar Hotel and Verkamps Visitor Center. We watched an Indian Ring Dance – very cool. We decided to “pass” on the Ranger Tour and head back to the RV. The 3 busy travel days on top of a week of scout camp is starting to take its toll.The boys watched a few episodes of Psych (season 2) and Ray and I took naps.
After our dinner of Sloppy Joes we went to see the sunset a Hopi Point. It was breathtaking. Wow!!! It was well worth our trip out there.
