Next up we drove down to the Grand Canyon. Having visited it a number of times we had never hiked to the floor. No time like the present.

I had promised Vanessa a little R&R after the hikes so we headed to Sedona and some vortex hunting. Not really, we just hung by the hotel pool and ate good food for the most part. We did however take a stroll to the Cathedral and check out the Mace.
