Grand Canyon First Timers

With family in town, I took a few days off work to show them around Arizona. With Zander and my mum, we took a road trip to Sedona, Flagstaff, and the Grand Canyon.

For our first day, we traveled up to Sedona. Moira and Aunty were amazed at the Red Rocks. We stopped at the Chapel of the Holy Cross, Tlaquepaque, and Oak Creek Canyon before stopping in Flagstaff for the night. On day two, we traveled up to the Grand Canyon. It was Mum, Aunty, and Zander's first time to this natural wonder. I actually took Moira to both of these places back in 2004 when she visited me while I was at NAU. On our last day, we toured around Flagstaff and NAU. The foreigners loved to shop so we had to stop at the mall.

The trip was so memorable. I'm so glad that I was able to spend a few days with them even though this was when my morning sickness started.
