The Long Ride Home...

We spent 14 hours in the van getting across the border and all the way to Flagstaff on Friday. Saturday morning we awoke with renewed energy and excitement to see the Grand Canyon. I have never seen it and I found myself getting more excited the closer we got. We arrived at the South Rim about 2 hours after leaving Flagstaff...That was an easy ride. The canyon did not disappoint. WOW!
After about 2 hours there we forced ourselves back into the van and hunkered down for the long, long ride home.
We made it. Daylight Saving Time didn't do us any favors since we were in Mexico last weekend when it changed and they don't recognize it. So we got home even an hour later than we thought we did.
All that matters is we are home. We are safe. And we are tighter as a family and better as individuals for having spent the past week having fun and giving of ourselves to those who are less fortunate.
