The Grand Canyon is Calling...


Guess what my dear readers? I'm off on a big adventure! I'm so excited I can hardly stand it!





This Friday afternoon I depart for Flagstaff, Arizona to go white water rafting through the Grand Canyon for 14 days (my trip officially starts on the 13th). I'll be covering 225 miles of the Colorado River from Lees Ferry to Diamond Creek. I'm going with a group of 11 other rafters, the majority of which are river guides, so I'll be in really good company. Now I should mention that I've never rafted nor camped a day in my life but I thought it was high time that I experienced both. I guess I'm a "jump into the deep end" kind of gal!

It's really a trip of a lifetime and I'm beyond thrilled to have the opportunity to go. But don't fret! I'll be back before you know it and have lots of great stories and photos to share. Be well everyone! I'll miss you!

  6. If you encounter Pete Weiss say "hi" for me. He's my brother-in-law and he leads some of the river expeditions and I know for a fact he will be leading one starting on the 14th.

    Have a wonderful adventure.
