So here are some pictures from our recent trip to AZ. It was a really wonderful time. We stayed with my Aunt and Grandma in Mesa, and shared the vacation with my Mom, brother and his family, sister and her boyfriend. Then during the week we also had shorter visits from my cousin and step-dad. We had people from Illinois, Montana, Minnesota and Texas merge together in sunny Arizona. We drove down, and met up with my mom, brother, sister in law and two nephews in Utah, outside of Zion. We then drove the scenic way through Zion NP and took a brief visit to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon on our way to Mesa.

After an awe inspiring morning with the bluest skies and neatest clouds in Zion, we wandered on for a freezing cold visit to the Grand Canyon…

The rest of the day was spent making our way to Mesa. It was a beautiful drive. I have always loved the transition into red rock country. Always felt a bit like home for some reason, probably because we used to drive to Arizona frequently as a family when I was younger to visit my Grandparents. This time I got to bring my children on the journey! There is something bordering on magic when you pass flagstaff and suddenly start to see saguaros everywhere. And just as I remember when I was young, we would just get to that point when the sun had moved past the horizon and all you could see are silhouettes of the cactus. And the smell of the air when you reach that part of the evening is like nothing I can describe. Just smells like the wonderful southwest desert.

Well, this is where I stop for today. I will put some more pics from my adventure up tomorrow, and then hope to get some of Keenans first Soccer game pictures up and Easter…geez I’m falling behind! By the way, you can always purchase a matted copy of any of my photos by contacting me or also many of them are on my Revolutionary Kind website under the portfolio tab in the Digital Art/Photography category.
