The Sattlers Do The Grand Canyon!... Again!

Some of you may remember that Tim and I visited the Grand Canyon last November while he was in Arizona flying the F-16. Well, the canyon experienced a once in a decade temperature inversion and it looked something like this:

That's the Grand Canyon! Yeah, we didn't get to see anything. And we didn't know about active duty military getting into national parks for free so we paid $25 for that view! 

So imagine my delight when I found out that we'd get another chance to see the Grand Canyon!  Plus, we got in free this time! We were so excited to finally get to see it, even though it was a little out of the way, it was worth it: 

Family Photo! 

So blessed to get to spend this time with my husband. Check out that beard!

The Bean chillin. PS That spot on her nose is where she rubbed it raw from trying to escape from the crate after we had to lock it down because she figured out how to open the door on her own. She's too smart!  

The baby schnaves! 

Timmy and the Bean!

Flagstaff!!

Today was the first day we didn't have an RV malfunction of some kind. Yay! The scenery driving in was amazing and it's a cool 58 degrees right now and I love it!

After we arrived and set up camp, we got our bikes off the rack and biked the 4 miles to a Walmart so we could restock the fridge.

Back at the campsite, we threw our laundry in the wash and Tim took Athena to the dog park while I took my first shower in the RV. Hindsight, as you know, is always 20/20, and I definitely should have let the LP heat up the water a taaaaad longer because half way through shampooing my hair, I had an icy wake up call!

Just finished dinner and we're all ready to settle in for a movie. We're heading to see the Grand Canyon tomorrow then setting our sights on Zion National Park! 

The mountain next to our campsite! 

On the way to Walmart! 

Met this little dude on our bike ride

Mile #1437

Got the damage fixed that the blown tire caused and then we went to Discount Tire and got 5 new tires put on the Winnie! Got some lunch from Red Lobster (real food finally!) and we took it back to the RV to eat and now we're on the road to Albuquerque! 

The Winnie getting new tires! 

This was an ice cream truck at Discount Tire that was blaring its music while getting serviced. 

Mile #1420

We made it to Amarillo!  This KOA isn't as nice as the last one, but it's our home for the night! Took the pups to the off-leash pet park and they seemed to like getting to walk around for a bit by themselves. The wind here is outrageous!

The Winnie in Amarillo! 

The Bean at the pet park.

This is the nicest grass I've ever felt...
