\"Arizona\"<\/a>

Arizona<\/p><\/div>\n

Today we arrived in Williams, AZ. \u00a0Our stopping point for visiting the Grand Canyon. \u00a0We parked our trailer at the Canyon Motel & RV Park<\/a>. \u00a0Its a really cute park with train cars for cabins. \u00a0Totally makes sense that someone would have a train themed rv park as Williams, AZ is where you catch the train to the Grand Canyon.<\/p>\n

After parking the trailer, we stopped in at Bearizona. \u00a0Our second drive through animal park. \u00a0Brian was very interested in the Wolves and Bears. \u00a0Sean was on the lookout for Bison. \u00a0He has his new favorite joke that involves them. \u00a0I will try to get him on video so you can chuckle along. \u00a0After the park, we headed over to our hotel and then took a horse drawn carriage ride around Williams and ate at Pancho McGillicuddy’s.<\/p>\n

We stayed at the Grand Canyon Hotel<\/a> which is also where we caught the train as well. \u00a0We had purchased a package as we also wanted to take a bus tour of the Canyon. We booked the observation car and I highly recommend it if you decide to take a similar trip. \u00a0We lucked out and there were only 3 other people in the same part of the car so we stretched out.<\/p>\n

Once we arrived at the Grand Canyon we hopped onto our tour bus. \u00a0I was surprised that our tour guide wasn’t very good. \u00a0Usually you get someone chatty who gives out lots of bits of information that you may not already know. \u00a0All she really told us was to wait til the bus stopped for pictures as its not worth taking pictures through the windows when the pictures will be better off the bus.<\/p>\n

Brian bravely led the way when we walked along the rim. \u00a0Sean discovered that he doesn’t like heights. \u00a0This from the kid who loves roller coasters. \u00a0I can understand the difference as the coasters strap you in. \u00a0Sean continually fretted about getting too close to the edge and Brian kept trying to get him to at least get near the fence.<\/p>\n

You will notice in the pictures that Brian took several, including several of himself. \u00a0First set are from Bearizona, second set is of Williams, AZ and the last set is the Canyon and train ride.<\/p>\n
