On the way to Phoenix for Tiffany's graduation! May 2009

So for Memorial Day weekend, I left for Phoenix. Scott decided at the last moment that he didn't want to go. All because he could not find his power adapter that plugged into the cigarette lighter so he could use his lap top. So I left at 4 am and went to pick up Trina to go with me. She was going to help Tiffany drive back home as Tiffany can't drive the whole way herself yet.

Tiffany was waiting till she graduated to move back up to Utah since her divorce. Trina and I had a fun trip down. We came across an accident that blocked the road for quite a while so we ended up in a caravan, turning around and taking a turn down a dirt road to bypass the accident and get back on track.

A whole lot of nothing! Pretty in its own way, though

We even stopped at the dam and took some dam pictures... but to Trina's disappointment they didn't have much at the dam gift shop. Sorry once again for the dam jokes. 

Glen Canyon Dam. What a view!

So after a little break at the Dam we got back on the road. We noticed the temperatures getting warmer as we got closer. On the way we stopped to take a few pictures of the Grand Canyon.

A quick stop and on our way again. The rest of the trip down was pretty uneventful. We even got there without getting lost or taking a wrong turn! We got there about 4 or 5 in the afternoon, a nice leisurely trip down. It was a nice trip, and unstressful. When we got there we called Tiffany who gave us directions to their house. After we got things out of the car, we cleaned their pool a little and had a nice, cool and relaxing swim with Kaydance.

After a long swim to cool down and relax, we just sat and chilled for a while before crashing for the night. Of course, Trina and I had to log on to our lap tops and harvest our crops on FarmTown! ha ha.
