They warned us about rattesnakes and scorpions in Arizona, but no one said ANYTHING about dinosaurs! This thing would have totaled the Saab.

OK, Here's my final "road trip" entry. I just couldn't let the blog go without including some shots of the grand canyon and Vegas. I've been busy in SF interviewing for jobs, taking ballet classes, shopping for furniture, and spending some time on the local beach, which is a gold-mine for sand dollars. We're moving into our place downtown on the 1st, and getting our "stuff" delivered from storage on the 8th. I'm *very* much looking forward to not living out of my suitcase. Our apartment is a cute, railroad-style one bedroom. It's modest, but has a few of the features we like....a dishwasher, a small back porch, bay windows.... It's pretty, and has a huge kitchen right in the middle of the apartment. I like this blogging thing, but not sure if the mundane details of our daily lives are interesting enough to write about on a regular basis. Regardless, enjoy the canyon shots. We arrived right before sunset, when the light shifts to brilliant golden and red tones. We drove from the canyon to Vegas, and arrived there around 1 in the morning. Stayed up at the casinos until about 5:30, napped until later that morning, and drove straight through to San Francisco. I also included some shots of the Mojave desert in CA.
