On to Colorado

We were going to leave today for Colorado Springs, but the weather did not cooperate.  There's this white stuff called snow going east through Wyoming and through Colorado.  Tomorrow we will head south to Flagstaff, AZ. and over to Albequerque, NM. and then up to Colorado.  Forecast sounds pretty good that route.  We had a wonderful time here in Salt Lake City visiting our son and his family.  We had an early Thanksgiving dinner with Marlo's dad's family and wonderful people.  It was great seeing our three little grandsons.  Logan is now 8 months old and growing like a weed.  Our plan is to have an early Christmas with the kids in Colorado before coming back to Salt Lake to have an early Christmas with Eric and family.  We'll then head to Florida on the 17th of December for a few months.  So looking forward to the warm weather and the beaches.  Time for some golf and kayaking again.  Will keep the blog updated as we get good internet service.  To all we wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving and a Merry Merry Christmas.
Momma has an electric blanket, but cats do help keep her warm too.

Grand Canyon

We spent 7 days at the Grand Canyon and it’s been a wonderful stop in our travels.  The Grand Canyon is the most breathtaking place we’ve seen to date in our travels.  I don’t know if there is anything that could top it.  We’ve seen the canyon in the rain, in snow, low clouds, and in bright sunshine.  You can stand in the same location for just 5 minutes and see a whole new view of the canyon in that short time.  The movement of the sun and the clouds give you many different looks at the canyon.  We didn’t get to hike down the canyon, but it is on our bucket list.  Also on our bucket list are a rafting trip through the canyon on the Colorado River and taking a mule ride to the bottom of the canyon.  We stayed at the RV Village right in the center of Grand Canyon Village and it was at very nice place to make our home base.  We had the pleasure of having Roberta’s sister, Susan, join us during our stay here and she enjoyed each day as much as we did.  We took hundreds of pictures to share.  We will be back.  Our travels will take us back to Salt Lake City for Thanksgiving with our son and his family and then it's on to Colorado Springs for Christmas.  Enjoy our travel blog.
