Eye of the Beholder

We took a road trip over Fall Break. I wanted Leah to see the Grand Canyon and Sedona. I know trips to admire scenery are not at the top of the list for most kids but she seemed fairly excited about going to Northern Arizona. It was a pleasant car trip reminiscent of my childhood complete with singing (Christmas songs), lots of McDonald stops and a few arguments (mostly over the ear drops.)

Here's Sedona.

And here is the breathtaking (I know a cliche) Grand Canyon.

I asked Leah what the best part of the trip was. I was sure she'd say the Grand Canyon (she seemed genuinely interested in it) or she'd at least say the squirrel that we saw at the edge of the canyon, or the beautiful jewelry we saw in some of the shops in Sedona.

Alas, she was most in awe of Bedrock. A crazy little tourist trap just outside the entrance to the Grand Canyon. That's what she mentions when we talk about our trip.
