I hesitate to admit that one of my favorite movies from the
80’s is National Lampoon’s Vacation. Clark Griswold takes his
family across the country to Wally World with one of the stops being the Grand
Canyon. They have run into several roadblocks along the way, including
running out of money, so after taking cash from the cash drawer at the Inn at
the canyon, they have only a fleeting moment to take in the magnificent
view. Click here
for a trip down memory lane (in Japanese, I think). Caroline and I often
joke about this when we are flying from place to place on vacation and not
taking enough time to soak in all that a location has to offer. I tell
you all this because last week, we had our first visit to the Grand
Canyon. We had several hours to view the canyon from different vantage
points along the south rim and stayed through sunset to watch the canyon change
colors. I know we all over use the word awesome, but I can’t really think
of a better word. No matter how many pictures you have seen, there is no
way to know the full beauty without standing in front of it. I love
knowing the God that created a world that can still surprise me.
