Should be crossing the Alberta border on Saturday (the day after tomorrow). Where do I begin, it's been so long since I've updated the blog. When we got back from Mexico we spent 4 days at Desert Pools and another week at Catalina Spa, in Desert Hot Springs. We did the usual thing - hanging out by the pool, into Palm Springs for dinner and (window) shopping..... We decided this year we would go home a different route. We want to go to Alberta to meet and greet the newest addition to the family - Michel's new granddaughter, born March 14th (more about her in the next blog) ..... So along the way we thought we would do the 'tourist' thing again.... you know... Grand Canyon, etc, etc.... So we went to Phoenix and headed north.
We spent a night (April 1st) at Camp Verde, just to regroup and plan our route of attack.. We left Camp Verde April 2nd, detoured through the Painted Desert National Park and ended up in Cameron, Az for the night.
April 3rd - Michel's Brithday - we unhooked the car (left the rig in town) and drove up to the Grand Canyon and spent the day. Had his b'day lunch at a Pizza Pub... All is good!! But we could have chosen a better time of year to be there... Easter Weekend - there were millions of people, and half were kids.....breathtaking!!

This is the Rainbow Bridge - - - -
The white line on these rocks is the high water mark - this happened in 1988

Lovely shots...did the Grand Canyon stop ourselves. Glad we did, it's a once in a lifetime experience.
