Awoke at 6ish to the sounds of Brian mumbling, "Let's go!" And off he drove while we continued to sleep in our beds. He drove safely to the Grand Canyon, AZ. What a beautiful sight! We walked to a few vistas and drove to the watchtower. Then, off to Four Corners, NM. Wild horses grazed lazily along both sides of the highway until I decided to take a photo. Then they disappeared! After paying $3 per person to be able to say we visited Andrew's chosen spot to visit, we successfully took our pictures and ate fry bread.
