GRAND CANYON SURPRISE!

After a wonderful vacation in Vegas, the long trek back home began on Monday around 2 PM. Jearen had to drive a 16 ft truck, but to my surprise it wasn't as scary as I thought it was going to be. After several hours we were in Arizona, and just trucking along (literally). I asked Jearen what he wanted to do that evening in Flagstaff, since that's where I THOUGHT we were going. Turns out, Jearen had a different plan. He turned down this road, and I finally caught on to where we were going. We stopped to get gas out in the middle of no where, and then tried to beat the sun to the Grand Canyon so we could catch the sunset. I've never really had a "bucket list" or anything to that nature, but as soon as I knew where we were going, I kept saying over and over how I really wanted to go there and was SO excited! We pulled up, paid our vehicle fee, and parked the truck. Within five minutes, the sun went down and we barely caught a picture of it. Regardless, being out on the Grand Canyon, just after the sun went down, with my husband, was PURE BLISS! I felt like I was living a once in a lifetime dream, but it was reality! Since it was nighttime, we booked a hotel a few miles down the road, where all the other tourists stay. There was several hotels and restaurants. We got our room and then walked over to the Yippie-Ie-O Steakhouse. Dinner was good, and we were surrounded by people speaking several different languages. My coffee was served in a mason jar, and I had a deep conversation with my husband. My love tank was overflowing. The next morning we woke up at 6 am to catch the sunrise. It was spectacular. Two hours, many pictures, and several kisses later, it was time to head out. The pictures will speak for themselves. I am honored to be married to such a sweet and giving man. I know that coming out here required extra driving, and I'm so glad he did that for us. This was a trip I will always remember! Thanks again for this journey, babe!
