On Thursday evening after work, we flew to Phoenix, Arizona for the Outdoor Power Equipment Aftermarket Association (OPEAA) annual meeting. We came a little bit early as we wanted to go and see the Grand Canyon since we would be so close. We arrived late on Thursday and spent the night in Phoenix. On Friday, we arose early and took the four hour drive to the Grand Canyon. Wow, what a view. We spent the afternoon taking a three mile hike along the Canyon's edge. Dad had been there when he was 11 years old and Mom had never been. This had been one location that we had hoped to visit as a family when the kids were all young but it never happened. You will need to enjoy from these photos. It is truly the eighth wonder of the world. We stayed until after dark for the stars to come out. With it being so remote and dark, it was amazing how many stars there were in the sky.
The pictures don't really do it justice but here are some that we took. The Grand Canyon is 277 miles long and over 6,000 feet deep at it's deepest spot.
We tried to upload some video's but it did not work. We will try again once we get home.
On Friday night we stayed in Flagstaff and then headed to Phoenix on Saturday morning. Dad had a Board meeting in the afternoon and a reception in the evening. The meeting goes until Tuesday. Dad is now the President of OPEAA! Woo Hoo!
