Grand Canyon, Goosenecks, and Monument Valley

We have had a fun few weekends.  This weekend I headed down to the Goosenecks and Monument Valley with some friends.  This is my favorite picture from Monument Valley.  You have to enter the Navajo Nation to really see the beauty.  Even though its the off season the entry fee was pricey!  $5 per person rather than per car.  I was surprised by that, but enjoyed the views anyways.
 These are probably the most pictured monuments in the area.  They are (left to right) the Left Mitten, Right Mitten, and Merrick Buttes.  They are gorgeous.
 This is a quick glimpse of the Goosenecks Park.  The formation is created by the San Juan River.  I want to go back with Chris to hike down to the river... they say its possible.  
 Two weekends ago we went down to Flagstaff, Arizona.  Our official motivation was my birthday, but we could resist visiting the Grand Canyon while we were there.  We used our timeshare to stay at a Wyndham Resort.  The suite was "deluxe" and very spacious.  Its hard to see how truly GIGANTIC this tub is.  I had Chris lay in the tub to show that it could easily fit two Chris' with extra room.  The funniest part of our trip was trying to enjoy a relaxing bath in it.  The hot water ran out before the jets were even covered.  We went old school and heated water on the stove top.
 I got a few great shots of Chris at the Grand Canyon.   I wanted to share this one with you because it makes me laugh whenever I see it.  He's a keeper for sure :)
 Us enjoying the sights.
It was a really fun  weekend away even though we missed City like crazy.  If anyone hasn't picked up on it yet, City truly is my first born ;) Call me crazy, but I'm a proud parent when it comes to our puppy.  Thankfully, we don't dress him up!
