And We're Off!

And so it begins! The cats finally have a sitter (thank you ryan and shelley) and we have our giant AmPm sodas and doughnuts so we are ready to hit the road.

Today is our shortest leg of the trip - only four hours. Then we will be in the Grand Canyon, buying our annual national park pass (our graduation gift to ourselves), and setting up our tent. We're both very excited to go back. Its about time since we've been talking about going back since the day after our last trip. And this time we even made reservations at Mather campground so we don't have to drive 25 miles to get anywhere. Staying at Desert View was okay last time since we were right across the way from the watchtower, but this time we actually get to enjoy the luxury of taking a shower at night and being close to places to eat. We forgot our chicken so hobo stew is out of the picture. Being close to food might end up being helpful.

So todays only plan is to get there and set up then just do some small hiking. We already have pictures from every overlook so we don't really need to do the tourist-y thing today. Basically, we're going to wing it.

More later!
