Spring Break...The Grand Canyon/Scottsdale

It was great to get away with our little family for spring break!  We thought about different places we could go (Mt. Rushmore being one of them).  I have always wanted to go but decided going somewhere warm would be better.  Someday I will venture up North.  Our trip began Monday night.  We drove down through Kanab, Utah and stayed the night.  We got up the next morning and drove by Lake Powell and made a stop at The Glen Canyon Dam.  There was a visitor center and bridge you could walk across to get a good look.  Our trip continued on to the Grand Canyon.  The boys loved every minute!  What a site and the views were awesome!  We went to the South Rim/Desert View.  There is a climbing tower and gift shop with spiral stairs to the top.  We drove down to Scottsdale and spent a relaxing few days together swimming in the pool, Phoenix Zoo, Rain Forest Cafe, more swimming and a movie.  We drove back on Friday in one day.  Mark and I decided it was much needed!  Here are some pics.

It was really bright!!
