On Christmas evening we arrived at Phoenix. The day before we had stopped at Wal-Mart and picked up microwavable mashed potatoes, turkey, and vegetables so we would be able to have turkey dinner in our hotel room. It tasted a lot better than we thought it would and the turkey was ready in 4 minutes in stead of 4 hours! The hotel was a dive but it's not where you are, it's who you're with.

So... we got to the Grand Canyon... After a year and a half of dreaming and wondering when we could get back to see it. We were soooo excited. ..Um, yeah. It was a little snowy when we got there. The sun had set but it wasn't completely dark. We stepped into our hotel room to find it freezing cold. No one had turned on the heat. It took two hours before it was warm enough for us to take off our coats. We decided to try on some "good attitudes" and make the best of it.
Christmas morning we woke up to more snow. At least a foot of it on the roof across the parking lot. We had breakfast and checked the weather forecast, hhmmm not getting better for a while. We decided on a late check out and quickly got our stuff packed back into the car. Then we went to take a look at what we couldn't see. It was actually pretty amazing. (Cold too) we took a few pictures and hopped back in the car and headed south to Phoenix. Quite the weather change in 5 hours.
