Scenes From The Road...Part Deux.
After leaving Flagstaff, AZ, we continued along Route 66 to Kingman, AZ where would take a sharp right north to get to the Grand Canyon...
There was a long road leading north up to Grand Canyon West, so we just looked in awe of all the canyons and mountains that we could see from the road...
Pictures truly can not do it justice. It was mainly my husband that wanted to see the Grand Canyon, but once I got there, I barely wanted to leave...
Camera angles are great...I barely look almost 9 months pregnant...
We got there very late in the afternoon, so the park closed about 2 hours after we got there...we ate a late lunch overlooking the canyon, then were on our way to Las Vegas!
Inside Caesar's Palace...
Caesar's Palace has a huge mall inside full of high end shops and restaurants...the only store I actually went in was H&M because I knew it was affordable and I did come out with a cute maxi dress and a few things for my kids...the hubby found nothing. It's not really his style...
Vegas in the daylight...
I did go to a couple of thrift and vintage stores while I was there.
The Attic is supposed to be the largest vintage store in the country and I think it was at one point...but a recent gas leak explosion led them to move across the street to a smaller location...
They had some fantastic pieces in their boutique, but I personally found them to be more than overpriced and the owners were rude. They never acknowledged anyone who walked in or offered any assistance...
After a few days in Las Vegas and realizing that we weren't heading to Los Angeles because of a 500% markup on hotel room prices due to NBA All-Star weekend, we started our drive home back to Texas.
One quick note...other than coming home on an international flight, I haven't had to deal with US Border Patrol. I forgot how close we were to the Mexico border coming home...and I would've taken a couple more pictures, but those agents looked like they were ALL business. No one was detained...we made it home safely.
Thanks for road trippin' with us!

Scenes From The Road.
My husband and I spent a little over a week traveling from Texas to Nevada and I am so glad we made this trip. We were planning to head all the way out to Los Angeles, but didn't realize it was the same weekend as the NBA All-Star Game...hotel prices were out of control...more than they normally are.
We stopped in little towns along the way for snacks and gasoline...
(notice the bullet holes?)
Our first stop in New Mexico was Roswell...
They take their alien reputation very seriously, no?
...even the local credit union.
We continued up to Route 66 since we planned to spend the night in Albuquerque...
...ate a couple of burgers, gambled a bit, then we were off to Arizona...
Surprisingly, one of our favorite stops was in Flagstaff, AZ. They had the cutest, historic downtown area and many kitschy diners & shops. We stopped there for the night and had an amazing dinner at a local restaurant & pub. I'll have to go back some day...when I can drink...ha!
After morning coffee and a delicious breakfast at the Galaxy Diner, we had a bit more driving to do to reach the Grand Canyon...
...part two of our road trip to the Grand Canyon and Vegas coming tomorrow!
