I have wanted to visit the Grand Canyon since I was about 15 years old, maybe 16. The pictures and documentaries of the Grand Canyon have always looked beautiful, that’s probably one of the reasons why I wanted to see it. My husband on the other hand has been to the Grand Canyon. He was perhaps 15 when he went. For years we talked about going there and visiting it together. And after 27 years of talking about it, we finally went in March. It was a part of my husband’s birthday week. By the way, In case you’re wondering why I chose such a strange title for today’s blog, it’s because my husband came up with it somewhat sarcastically and it got the highest score for successful blog titles.
Anyway, back to the Grand Canyon. So this great big hole in the ground, the Grand Canyon is seriously way more than a big hole in the ground and well worth visiting. It’s beautiful and it’s absolutely majestic. It was without a doubt worth the wait and I would be willing to go back. What I didn’t realize is the Grand Canyon is actually on Native American Reservations. In all honesty, I had no idea. I guess I should have, but I didn’t. I have to say I’m having trouble coming up with the right words to describe the Grand Canyon aka for my husband a great big hole in the ground.
The size of this canyon is amazing! The different colors of each layer are amazing in and of themselves. There is a beauty to this canyon that can leave a person speechless, I know that’s what it did for me at least. I was in complete awe of this big hole in the ground, this canyon, this wonder that God made.
We did get to walk on the glass walking path (Skywalk). Unfortunately, you are not allowed to take pictures while you are walking and standing on that glass that is literally right over the Grand Canyon. That too was an amazing experience. Standing over the Grand Canyon like that. Looking as far down as you could. I was seriously in awe the entire time. The Grand Canyon is way more than a big hole in the ground as far as I’m concerned. It’s beautiful. It’s amazing. It’s God’s creation. I’m thankful that after 27 years of marriage I finally got to visit this big hole, the Grand Canyon, with my husband and enjoy the majestic beauty that only God can make. This is definitely a place I would highly recommend anyone visit.
