You are here!

Everyone knows we love our Sunday drives. A few weeks back the weather predictions were not good, it was going to be a stormy blustery day. We didn't need any more incentive to try and find some sun and fun. We started our going over a mountain to the East....hum nope still several feet of snow. We headed South to Kanab, a beautiful little town that is usually warm. (at least warmer then us) But the wind beat us there so we had lunch but couldn't really get out and play. We decided to head West again but go a different way then the over the mountain route we had taken. So off we go, cross into Arizona and head home.......
Me "um I think we are driving East"
Dew " maybe a little but its more South then East"
Me " No I think its pretty much straight East"
Dew " I think the road curves around up here and we will head West again"
I'm looking around at this point and seeing NOTHING except tree's as we head East back into some mountains.... oh and snow.... a blizzard really.
This is the first thing we came to, it was a little scenic view spot. I took a picture of the sign as proof....... that we had been driving East and were almost to the GRAND CANYON. We had taken a wrong turn right out of Kanab.

So here are the boys on our quest for sun playing day :)
The craziest part was there was NOBODY around until we walk up to the lookout area and then these men walk up offer to take our picture. So here we are, can you tell we are all freezing?


We have been laughing about our adventure ever since. What a fun, completely unexpected day. I think they make the best memories. That and the fact that me and the boys slept most of the way home :)
