The Grand Canyon

One year my family and I went on a trip to the Grand Canyon for Christmas. The beginning of the trip was very boring. The drive there took two days; at one point of the drive we were on the rode of 14 hours. The whole drive I was listening to music and sleeping. Before we got to the Grand Canyon we stayed in Laughlin, Nevada for a day or two, but went right back on the rode. I can remember when we were about half an hour away from the Grand Canyon, and the movie Forrest Gump ran threw my mind. We were on the rode that Forrest was running on when he decided to run back and forth across the country. It was pretty cool cause that is my favorite movie.
When we got to the Grand Canyon we stayed in a hotel down the rode. On the fourth day we went to go on a hike on the south side of the Grand Canyon. I took many pictures of the Canyon with my family. At one point my dad took me to the edge of this cliff thinking there was other cliffs at the bottom, but when we looked down there was a straight drop to the very bottom of the canyon. Surprisingly my dad, the one who is afraid of heights, stays by the edge and takes pictures of it. I thought he was crazy. Just the scene of the Canyon was just beautiful. When we went there it was just before they built the walk way that goes out off the edge of the canyon. Without a doubt I would have gone out there and walk on it.
This this trip was really fun to go on with my family. Even though it was pretty boring in the beginning I still had a lot of fun.
