Homeward Bound

The last major stop on our road trip was the Grand Canyon. Since it was on the way home (more or less) and Keizo only saw it for about 40 minutes before it was engulfed completely in clouds on our last trip, it seemed only right to stop by.

We had gorgeous weather...

...and like in Zion, a fantastic picnic lunch! The lunch at the Grand Canyon also featured leftovers from two dinners and the pancakes from the day before. Surprisingly, the pancakes were quite good cold. We finished off the leftovers, crackers, sliced cheese and avocados. The cooler was much lighter when we put it back in the trunk.


Yay! No clouds!

We walked a few miles along the rim taking in the sights before heading out of the park to catch one of the last showings of the day of the IMAX movie about the Grand Canyon. Then it was time to get in the car and head back to Scottsdale.

Our last stop of the trip was dinner in Flagstaff at a place called Bun Hugger's. It's right along the main road across from the Northern Arizona University campus. The menu focuses on hamburgers and fried accompaniments, but I enjoyed my greasy grilled cheese and cup of chili (maybe not the best choice for a car trip...)

Keizo tried their mushroom burger and fries, which I sampled. The service was not anything to write home about, but the food was a step above fast food.
