My last road trip . . .

I swear I am going to update my photos on here. I really need to get the internet on my laptop so it will be easy for me to do. If your wondering why I don't have the internet on my laptop its because I hate computers and gadgets. Ok that isn't true, I just hate it when I can't get things to work after trying about 8 times!!
So I went to Jacob Lake, AZ this past weekend. My friend Liz and I left Friday night after work and stayed until Monday. If you have never heard of Jacob Lake, its ok, I hadn't either. My goal is to stay at least one night in each state (preferably longer). This year it was Arizona. However, I wasn't in the mood to drive for a LONG time. So I looked on mapquest and found a city/town near the border. The first place I noticed was Jacob Lake, it sounded wonderful! They have one hotel there, where you can also stay in cabins. Liz and I made reservations and we were off for a new adventure.
Jacob Lake is 45 minutes from the North Rim of the Grand Canyon (which doesn't open until May). But that was fine because Liz and I went and saw Lake Powell, Vermillion Cliffs Highway and the cute little places along the way, The Native American Bridge, and many other little out of the way places. I was so amazed by the beauty that exists in Arizona. I truly could live there; if only I were independently wealthy, haha!!
We also saw Kanab, the Kaibab national forest, Zion national park and we dared to enter Colorado City. We were both curious, and I had just read this book called Escape by Carolyn Jessop, where she tells about her harrowing escape from the polygamist community. I recommend this book to EVERYONE! Anyway, Colorado City wasn't impressing. Its basically a bunch of houses and a few small businesses. The houses are HUGE, go figure. I wonder which one Carolyn lived in? I love reading about something and then actually visiting the place. I don't think I have ever done that before.
Liz and I plan on going back at some time in the future. We want to go back when the Grand Canyon is open. The South Rim is open all year, but that is 2 1/2 hours from Jacob Lake.
This was definitely a favorite vacation of mine.
Again, I will try and post some pictures so you can get a small idea of the GRAND beauty that Arizona possess.
