Grand canyon and everything else !

Alot of things have happened since we last blogged ! We finally made it to the Grand Canyon a week ago today !! Time has passed. The Grand Canyon was absolutely beautiful ! and kinda cold. We stayed there about an hour, all the views were the same. We ended up climbing up a ledge that had a great view, Michael liked being up that high more than I. After the Grand Canyon we went to Zion which wonderful as well. We were able to drive down into the canyon which was extremely cool ! We then headed to las Vegas !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We ended up going straight to Vegas after Zion so that we could see the lights of Vegas. We stayed at The Paris hotel. The time changed again on us and we gained another hour so we are now two hours ahead of everyone. At Vegas we tried our hands in the casinos, they don't seem so fun to me. I couldn't figure out the rules : )After Vegas we headed to San Diego and of course we went to the zoo !!! We were at the zoo for 6 hours and I do not think that we saw everything. The zoo was awesome. I saw some animals that I knew what they were and some of the animals I had never seen before in my life! After the zoo we headed to LA were we meet up with Clay, a friend of Michael's from Skiatook. He showed us around town and some hot spots of the town. Clay convinced us to take the train the next day to Universal Studios, I think that it took us about an hour to reach Universal. But the train ride was very educational on both rides : ) Universal was alot of fun, but it was very very cold. We have not had alot of warm weather on our trip. The only time the weather has been above 85 was in Vegas, where it reached over 100! After LAX we headed to Pismo Beach which has been by far our favorite location. The hotel we stayed at had the best view the coast from our window, and was only a short distance from Hearst castle. Hearst castle is an area of land that William Hearst had and create a beautiful living environment for him and his many movie star guest. (Pictures will be posted soon of his beautiful castle and surrounding lands) All I can say is that if you are every in Pismo Beach stay at the Best Western at Shore Cliff. The view is breath-taking. For the next two nights we are staying right outside of San Francisco and will take the train into town tomorrow to take in the sights ! The trip so far has been amazing for Michael and I and we are truly grateful that we have been able to take a trip like this together !
