Trip Part 4

Okay, I'm back from dinner. Here are some more from Newport.
 A random guy dragging this massive wooden cross.
 Uncle Gary took all of us to the Nethercut Museum. This guy has a bajillion cars that are all in pristine condition. They are all road ready too! Here am I with my favorite, the Rolls Royce Phantom. Scott is with a sweet one that I don't remember the name of.


On the top couple floors they have these instruments that are self playing. There was a massive organ, some violins, complete orchestras, etc. We got to listen to just about all of them. It was so cool.

When we left California, we went to the Grand Canyon the southern rim. 
 There were a bunch of elk in our camp site and they were totally chill. Later that night we had one literally in our site where our tents were. He was taller than our car by several feet.
 That night we found out we were pregnant. In a very classy campground bathroom I peed on a stick, and Scott and I tried to read it with a headlamp.
 We then made our way to Paige Arizona. This spot is called the horse shoe. On our way to and from the horse shoe we went lizard hunting and found a lot.

 There had been thunder storms and rain, so our trip to the Glen Canyon Dam was postponed until later that day. We occupied our time with another small hike to this place called "Hanging Gardens". Jared and Scott had ran ahead which left Rebekah and I to somehow find our way there. Let's just say the trail was not well marked.
 We finally got to go on the tour of the dam. Here is a retired generator.
 There's the dam! We went all the way down to the bottom where the green is. We rode an elevator down and our ears popped.
 Lake Powell
 Our camping friends Jared and Rebekah

Our campsite...in dirt. lol. That night since we were leaving the next day we decided to go swimming. Not only did we go swimming, but we went in Lake Powell with stars. It was quite romantic yet creepy because we couldn't see very much with no lights!
 We then paid a LOT of money to go to the famous Antelope Canyon. It's own by the Navajo Indians (that's why it cost so much). There were hundreds of Europeans and then us in these caves.
 The crazy truck ride to and from.
