The Schooler's

Repeat, Spring Break 1994, Detour.  That about sums up our final day at the Grand Canyon.  Let's start with the Repeat.  You have to see the sunrise at the Grand Canyon - it's amazing.  Rebecca has been wanting to go with me to see it, and we decided the last day was our best shot.  If you're curious, sunrise at the Grand Canyon was about 5:20AM.  Yes, that's 5:20AM...

Strap yourselves in readers for Post 3 from … the Grand Canyon.  To quote from one of our favorite songs, “Indescribable, unbelievable, You hung the stars in the sky and you know them by name…You are amazing God.”   We arrived just before dusk, so Christy, Rebecca and Luke were able to enjoy their first views of the Canyon with great light.  It’s amazing that almost whichever view point you are standing, people generally are quiet as they take in the massive scale of the canyon.  That was very true for our family … even Little Buddy was at a loss for words, and even more unusual – he was very still.  That was pretty much it for Day 1 – canyon views and getting camp set up. 

I take it as a great sign that I have to stop and think about what day it is now.  A quick glance at the watch tells me it's Wednesday morning, 5:16AM, or Day 5 of our adventure.  Before I get too much credit for being an early riser, Luke and I turned in about 8:30PM last night.  I feel very rested.  He's still in deep REM sleep next to me in the "Master" bedroom of our traveling home.  Let me bring everyone up to speed on the last few days ...

Howdy from Cloudcroft, New Mexico on Day 2 of our RV Adventure.  We've logged over 700 miles in these first two days.  After getting off to a typical Schooler start for any road trip (several hours later than expected), we put in a really long first day to Carlsbad, New Mexico.
