Long Journey

by ElsieBAug 19, 2006
This is another layout for the Grand Canyon vacation album. The journaling explains.

Journaling:
I know someday you won't remember this at all, but I'll never forget it and will always feel bad about it. After you threw up on the road, we gave you chewable Dramamine and you passed out. When we got to the Canyon, we were all tired and very hungry and you were still extremely sleepy. I knew parking in the Village was bad so I thought we should just walk from our hotel. I didn't realize it was over a mile! You barely made it. I thought sure I'd killed you! Papi and I took turns carrying you when you just couldn't walk anymore. When we finally got a table at the Bright Angel Lodge restaurant, it was like we'd made it to an oasis. You gobbled your grilled cheese and French fries and I saw you come back to life!

I can relate to your story of misjudging the distance on your walk - I did that to DH when we were honeymooning in Cancun. I swore the restaurant was a block away, but we walked more than a mile and he was in such a bad temper when we got there (it was really hot out). Still, I was joking around and made him laugh, so we were no worse for the wear.
