It was the end of May and we had packed up our Teardrop Camper, our cooler filled with food and water, and the new truck was all gased up! We have never been to the northern part of Arizona and I looked at the map one last time before we headed up to the Grand Canyon. Our first offical trip in the Teardrop, Lucky’s first trip to a National Park and we all were excited about the Grand Canyon.
The weather was great! 80s for the highs, 40s for the lows at night. Our trip was an easy 5 hour drive and we made it to our camp site with plenty of day light left to set up camp, make lunch and make our way up to the canyons edge before sunset. We had lots of fun, watched two movies at night on Adrienne’s new tablet in our camper, Lucky loved the whole time being able to hang out and it was just the right amount of time for our camping trip.

I think it would be fun to come back to the area during the fall or early winter. Too many people during this time of the year and it really is a tourist destination from all over the world. Going back in the off season might make for a less rushed vacation.
With the upcoming 2024 Summer Olympics, officially the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad and commonly known as Paris 2024, is coming to Paris, France. Travel and research go hand in hand along with daily event planning and Paris. Don’t think you can just wing it and see the good stuff. It was 10 days and we were very disciplined to make sure to follow the schedule. But having fun is always the goal. I thought I would share some of our photos and describe the site and attractions of Paris so there is a few pictures below. This was our first trip to France and it was our Honeymoon.
We spent 10 days in Paris and we still didn’t get all of the things we wanted to do done. So have fun if yoou are going to visit this summer. Brush up on all the pleasantries to be a better shmuck of a tourist than the normal ones they see from America that can’t even say good day when they go into a cafe or store.
With a well planned out day, and each event writen down, it is possible to see a lot, eat great food, experience Paris, take a million photos and have fun.
But think of the details and make your plans to allow travel on the metro or walking.
As you can see we planned for everything!
