Going to the GRAND CANYON!!

My husband and I have planned a very exciting last minute weekend getaway con los bebes to the Grand Canyon! I'm super excited because it's one of those places on my list of things I must see before I die.

Matty and I are considering a move to Italy after Guam, if the orders are open...I know, sounds like planning WAY ahead, but it is something we've talked about. So there are some places here in the states that we would like to visit before we leave just in case we're not back in the states any time in the future.

We're going to leave when Catalina gets out of school and drive straight out. We booked a hotel room for two nights that's only about a mile from the South Rim. We'll get in late tonight and sleep, have a free continental breakfast in the a.m., then we're renting bikes for the day (one with a trailer for Matty to pull the kids)! They shuttle you to the top of the canyon and you ride down on a private road with no traffic and magnificent canyon views! I can't wait. The rest of the weekend we'll be unplanned.

I have a lot to do before we go.

  • Kennel our dogs 
  • Straighten up my house - especially the kitchen!
  • Make Matty take the trash out before we go
  • Get a cooler - either from the store or borrow from a friend 
  • Pack our bags - for myself and my babies - make sure I bring lots of sunscreen & my Rebel!
  • Pack food, drinks, snacks for the kids
  • Drive a loaf of my Zucchini Pineapple Bread to my dad (he's at work)
  • Pick Ezekiel up from MiMi's 
  • Get Catalina from School
  • Hit the Road Jack! 

Gotta run! I'll be sure to post pics for you to enjoy!
