Day 9 started early I woke up at 4am and was on the road by 430 headed for the South Rim of the Grand Canyon.

I entered the park and got to first view just before sunrise and was able to watch the sun rise over the canyon. The simple majesty of the view reminded me how grateful I am to have all those that care for me and my family in our lives. With out the support of all those I love and who love me I wouldn’t be who I am today.

I then stopped at a few other views along the park road before hitting up the South Rim.

After the Canyon I headed East.  Along the route I stopped at Meteor Crater Arizona.

I ended the day stopping at my moms house in Belen, NM.  It was great to see my mom and She made Red Chili Enchiladas, fresh Guacamole and Margahritas on the rocks. She loves me.
