a Grand Adventure

Vegas 2010 day 2

On about 5 hours of sleep we get up and get ready ...we are going to spend the day at the Grand Canyon!!! In reality we spent only about 4 hours there out of the 15 we were gone from the hotel as it's quite a drive from Vegas. We made a few stops along the way....snapped some pics of Lake Mead (which I didn't upload cause they weren't that good) and some other random places along the way there.

One of the other highlights of our tour, was a stop at Hoover Dam. We didn't tour it (which you can do actually) just snapped some photos of the dam and the scenery around it...




After what feels like half the day, we finally arrive...




I think I took at least 300 pics of the Canyon hoping for one good one I could enlarge and frame to hang above the tv...I think this might be the one...



Our tour guide was great...he shared lots of info and interesting facts along the way and especially of the Canyon itself (just don't ask us any of them cause it was a lot to take in and remember...lol). He was really good at making sure us Canadians had the distances he was talking about in meters and kilometers too.

After arriving back at the hotel, tired and hungry, we stumbled upon JJ's Boulangerie in the Paris and ate the yummiest sandwiches. Made our way back to the room and crashed for the night!
