It's been awhile since I've blogged because I'm backlogged in blogging! Sorry about that guys! It's been hard to blog on the spot because of the lack of wifi at the places we are at. If you would like to see more updates real-time, you can follow us on Instagram @embracingourlifejourney.
Our second day at the grand canyon started off to a slow start which was totally fine by me. If you can’t tell by now through my blog, I love slow mornings. We decided by the recommendation of our RV neighbor Butch to eat an early lunch at the El Tovar restaurant at the nicest lodge in Grand Canyon. So, we went for an early lunch which was a great tip from Butch because we got seated right away and it was crowded at all! It was a nice break from eating in the trailer or even at just regular restaurants because El Tovar was a pretty fancy restaurant that was decorated like an old lodge. We ordered ourselves some yummy food and then we went on our way to Desert View Watch Tower which was about 30-40minutes drive.

Desert View Watch Tower is a great stop at the Grand Canyon National Park because it gives you a different perspective of the canyon and you get see how the canyon slowly changes into the desert view, hence the name “Desert View Watch Tower”. We told the girls we were going to see a castle because the watch tower kinda looks like a castle. They loved climbing up the stairs to the very top of the tower which was pretty cool. I really loved the little porthole windows at each level of the tower.
The biggest surprise and find of the day was this verse that was placed against one of the rock walls on one of the outside levels of the watch tower.
On the drive back to Trailer Village, of course we run into some Elk just walking down the road! Check out this video! This Elk literally walked right beside our van and then in front of it! Can you tell I’m still jazzed that we saw Elk so close! I’ve literally blogged about 3 times I think. We ended the day with enjoying our last Grand Canyon sunset.
What a wonderful verse to find in a beautiful place! Exciting about the elk. Fabulous memories being created each day. God bless and enjoy your family and his earthly creations. Terry Y.
