Our Vacation Out West









Tim and I went on a vacation and work related trip. Tim was asked to speak to a civil war roundtable group in Denver, Colorado. It was a hard decision to make about going on the trip, because we knew it would be hard to take Mary Kate. We decided to let her stay with Tim's parents who are retired. Tim and I left last Thursday and did not return until this Tuesday. We went and took Mary Kate to her grandparents in Mississippi and then flew from Jackson, MS to Las Vegas, Nevada. We drove from Las Vegas across Utah to Denver, Colorado. The scenery was beautiful. There were lots of beautiful snow covered mountains, trains, ski resorts, and canyons. We stayed in Denver, Colorado for two nights and then drove through New Mexico to the Grand Canyon in Arizona. The Grand Canyon was a wonderful God created work of art. I have never seen anything on earth more beautiful or big as the Grand Canyon. We left the Grand Canyon and drove through Nevada over the Hoover Dam. It is a really big dam and has lots of tourist visiting it often. We stayed our last night in Las Vegas and then flew back home on Tuesday. It was a great trip and one I will never forget.
