Train Ride to the Grand Canyon

 

In 11/3/2007, my mom and I went to the Grand Canyon located in Arizona.  My mom won this train ride to the Grand Canyon at an auction at the beginning of the year, and we had a year to do this ride.  I got some time off from work before the holidays.

We drove to Williams, Arizona to get the train.  It takes half a day to get to the Grand Canyon.

The train ride was a lot of fun.  There was a history talk about the train and the Grand Canyon.  Also, there was music being played.  At one point there was an armed robbery show that took place.

When we got to the Grand Canyon, we found our tour bus we were taking for the day.  They drove us around the park and stopped many times to see the view.  It was beautiful.  They also provided us lunch at the cafe, and we got to go into the gift shop.
