 ~GRAND CANYON~

Amazingly Beautiful

One might think that since I spent my entire childhood in Southern California I'd have somehow made my way to the Grand Canyon in Arizona before reaching "Nana-status!"  Even with all the I-40 road trips from Oklahoma back to my birth state we somehow never managed to make the little detour to see one of the greatest natural wonders of the world. 

~TRULY MIRACULOUS~

A week ago today my Mr. AGPMan and I snapped the pictures I'm sharing with you today.  Never in my wildest dreams could I have understood the majesty of the Canyon without seeing it with my own two eyes.

 ~QUEEN OF THE CANYON~

(Yeah...right!  Couldn't WAIT to get off of that rock!)

~LOVELY ROCK FORMATIONS~

 ~IN SERIOUSLY DEEP THOUGHT~

I snapped this pic of the hubster while he was standing in line for information about a Helicopter Canyon Tour.  We seriously considered hoping onto one of the six-seater-copters for a 55 minute in-flight excursion....  BUT~being the total woosy-girl that I am I just couldn't do it!  Nope, Never, NAUTA!   I'm not sure YET if my guy was happy about my decision to keep my feet firmly planted on the ground.  It would have cost us about $900 (for both) and this girl was more that thrilled to see the Canyon from behind the railing!

Regardless of the fact we opted to skip the in-air tour, I'll never forget seeing the Canyon for myself.   Beyond beautiful.  Beyond fabulous.  A miraculous creation by God!

 ~TINY CHAPEL IN THE WOODS~

On the way back to Flagstaff we stopped by and peeked in for a closer look at this tiny little Chapel just off the road.

~THE SWEETEST THING~

I was intrigued by it's style and form and so I just HAD to see if it was open!

~INSIDE VIEW~

I was thrilled to be able to walk inside.  The ground was made up of strewn pebbles and the seating was simple and uncomplicated.  Just perfect for a little bit of worship, meditation and a prayer or two (or three, or four, five, six...)

 ~A GIFT FROM A TRAVELER~

 ~MY HANDSOME HUBBY~

I loved visiting Arizona and we hope to return again to see even more of this lovely State later this summer.  In July we will be going to California and we plan on stopping off again for at least a day visit!

I'll be back later this evening for news on my latest

GIVEAWAY!  I hope you'll stop back in to see what's coming up next!

Blessings for a fabulous Spring day!

Love to you...
