Grand Canyon
Thursday, March 03, 2016
We're heading back to the great state of Arizona soon, so I thought I would share these photos from our visit to the Grand Canyon in the fall of 2014. These photos were taken on the 18th of October.
We did a lot of traveling in 2014. It was one of my favorite years for that reason, and also that we found out we were expecting Ruby. I believe I was about 10 weeks pregnant in these photos.
Like I mentioned in this post, Jordan had to do another away rotation for medical school in Las Vegas. On my school's fall break I flew out to visit him for his last week. I found out I was pregnant days before he left. It was really difficult because at that time it was a little early to tell anyone. And I was very sick and tired. Most days I would come home from work and go to bed without eating dinner because I didn't have the energy to eat.
So, this was a special trip. It was fun to be reunited with Jordan again and to have time to talk about everything. Even if I did get sick a lot and couldn't quite keep up with him.
We were just reminiscing with them about how we told them we were pregnant during this trip. And now a little over a year later we both have added a baby to the mix.
Since this was just a quick stop, we didn't have too much time, nor did I want to, take a hike into the canyon. I would definitely recommend that if you do visit to take the time and properly explore.
The Grand Canyon is a little weird in that you drive up to it, park, and then walk a little ways and it's there. It's kind of disappointing (but, for sure convenient). I was a little nervous to share these thought, because, I mean, it's the Grand Canyon.
Jordan and I were definitely on the same page. So, if you visit, make sure to take the time to really connect and explore. Take a little hike down to fully understand it's depths. It's obviously still an incredible site and I do not take this experience for granted.
We can't wait to visit again. Jordan already booked us a hotel so we can visit Antelope Canyon, which we weren't sure if we'd be able to visit. Any suggestions on places that we should visit on the way or any restaurants?

DeleteWow, great pictures! If you are going to the Antilope Canyon, you could consider visiting Lee's Ferry. It is a historic Grand Canyon crossing site. It's not that far from Page. Enjoy, your trip to Antilope Canyon! It's amazing :)
