On Saturday, Sunday and Monday evenings evenings we said some of our last goodbyes - to Rob and Joy Sage, to Ken & Fureya Walicki and Jason & Maria Teven (and Julian and Magdalena of course) and then to Pete & Kathy LeNoache and John Dunne. Even Dave shed a couple of tears at leaving such dear friends. Dave hurt his back on Saturday (not actually moving furniture but swinging Linden around) so that has put a damper on some of our activities.
So we finally hit the road on Wednesday afternoon about 5:15 p.m. (it took a little bit longer than I thought to clean out my office!) But we made it to Needles, CA on Wednesday night.
On Thursday afternoon we arrived at the South rim of the Grand Canyon. Quite spectacular - just like the photos;-> We spent some time looking over the edges and at the visitor's center. Linden was seemingly more impressed with the rock edges on the pathways - great for balancing and jumping.
One of the photos here shows an unusual flying creature - it seemed like a cross between a moth and a hummingbird - as it hovered like a hummingbird to suck nectar out of the butterfly bush - but it was clearly not a bird. So hopefully one of the wildlife biologists in the group can provide an answer here.
Friday is Zion National Park.

Glad to hear the travels are showing everyone a good time!
I think we had a picture on our wedding website from that same spot on the rim of the Grand Canyon!
