24 Dates in 2024

24 Dates in 2024 -Date #14

Since we were already in Vegas, our pit stop before our actual destination, we couldn’t resist the allure of the Grand Canyon. It was date #14 of our 24 dates in 2024, and we were about to embark on a truly unique experience.

This Blog is going to be the shortest, ever! Because what can even be said about the Grand Canyon!?

I could hit you with a list of words that could describe visiting the Canyon, string them together, and hope you get a teeny glimpse into its magnificence, and I would fail miserably.

The Grand Canyon experience is indescribable. It’s a bit like motherhood. Try as you might to communicate what it’s like; nothing does it justice like living it. Everyone sharing that same space in time is wide-eyed, mute, or stuck on the verbal response of “WOW!!” because there is a loss of words. In some instances, kindred Canyon souls eke out an “Mm-hmm” or “You know.” Also, I have learned that pictures and videos are a massive failure, too.

Maybe the only thing that might visually capture is a National Geographic photo from a master professional photographer who waited ten days in the same spot to capture the 5 seconds that would birth the perfect picture. Even that is a distant second.

What I am trying to say is put the Grand Canyon on your bucket list. You will not regret it. Do some research, and if I were to recommend anything, I would suggest doing a small group-sized tour. If you can swing it, include that Helicopter ride. As someone who is terrified of heights, that ride will go down as one of the most thrilling, awe-inspiring experiences that I shared with Ken ( confession—and our boys, too!).
