I have been wanting to take the girls to see the Grand Canyon for awhile. Everything just lined up so that we could take them on a day where the National Parks were free, so it was awesome!
We went a day early and had a great time discovering the old abandoned mining town, Two Guns, and the some old Pueblo ruins at Wupatki National Monument. This was such a wonderful experience for us!
