The Grand Canyon


Last weekend, Gramma and Papa took us to the Grand Canyon on our annual road trip. We stayed in this very rustic log cabin for three days and two nights one the North Rim. It was absolutely gorgeous. You could see the Canyon from our doorstep. We didn't hike a lot, as Gramma and Papa aren't exactly in the best of shape. (Neither am I for that matter.) But we did take lots of pictures. ^.^


It was very dry up there, not because of the aridity, but because Gramma bought sparkling water instead of regular - it's too nasty to drink. Thus, the consumption of Coke was rampant, until we ran out of it.

It was a really fun trip.

Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas!

I'm sorry I haven't posted recently, I've been busy. Today, my brother, sister, and I travelled from our lovely NY home to Grandma's house, which is not in the stereotypical woods setting. She and Papa live in Las Vegas.

Yeah.

JEEZ it is hot and dry out here. Granted, they live in a freakin' desert, what can you expect, but this is pushing it. We spent the afternoon in the pool, ate a nice grilled steak dinner with baked potatoes and corn on the cob, and generally had a blast. I love grandma's house.

Happy Birthday To Me!

Today's my birthday. Yay! I'm now 17.

Dad taught me how to drive today. Scary thought, no? I didn't leave the neighborhood. Which was okay by me. I did not hit any cars, pedestrians, or anything. Except one or two curbs. But that's cool.

I plan on going shopping with Trish later on and maybe meeting Rishabh before he goes back to India on Monday. Nothing big, just a low-key kinda day.
