After leaving California we swung through Las Vegas for a night and then on to the Grand Canyon. We woke up at 5am to catch the sun rising over the Grand Canyon, and it was worth it. Beautiful!
The rest of Arizona and New Mexico was...barren. I'm not sure how anyone lives here! Albuquerque was an exception, and was actually a pleasant place to spend the evening. We had "Date night" in the back of our car...propped the seat up under our bed so we could recline and watch a movie in the back!
We drove on to Amarillo, TX where my grandma was born and raised. We stayed with Nicole's great Aunt and Uncle there and had a great time with them!
They took us down to Palo Dura Canyon to ride our bikes (which didn't last long in the 100 deg heat!) and showed us a dug out house similar to the one Nicole's great grandmother was born and raised in.
Here's a small video clip Craig made of the dugout...
This last night we spent near Dallas staying with some good friends of Craig's. We went to The Village Church yesterday to hear Matt Chandler preach, which was a treat, and then got to spend the rest of the day with Drew & Caity.
Dallas was H-O-T. Hot enough, we thought, to fry an egg on the driveway! Didn't quite work like we thought...
We're off to Little Rock, AR tomorrow and looking forward to spending a week in one place!
