For some reason Katie declined my offer of an early dawn start to get more photos of The Grand Canyon so I was by my lonesome this morning. Still, I did get a coffee to keep me company and managed to get a few more shots. We left the Canyon after breakfast and continued to head south out of the National Park and then east down the interstate towards Albuquerque. The drive was supposed to only take about 4-5 hours but with the traffic ended up taking us just over...

I woke Katie up early this morning and we went to get some photos of The Grand Canyon at dawn. It was about -3C but we did manage to get some fairly decent shots. After breakfast, we left Sue and went to do a load of washing near the campground. This process of finding the place, getting enough quarters to get powder, run the machine and the dryer took a fair bit of our morning.

This morning I woke at about 8, Sue about 9 and I woke the twins up at 10. We met up with Elselynn and Leo and headed off to get brunch from The King of Sandwich which apparently serves the best toasted sandwich in the world. Well, it was ok. I ended up with a Chipotle Chicken and Avocado, if course without the avocado. Trying to cut down on calories. We decided that as it was Black Friday we would do a bit of shopping and look around the different casinos and sh...
