Here was the sunset on the drive out of the Grand Canyon. It was beautiful! Headed out to Page and checked into the La Quinta which was my absolute savior. The hotel is dog friendly!!!! Thank goodness….and like super dog friendly, no extra fees for a pet, you can leave the pet in the room while you go explore, and we even saw like 4 other pups in the hotel. Oh, and we got free breakfast.. Score! After my experience…

Yup, that’s the A-frame and why didn’t I get invited to that adorable holiday party!?!? Ok, I’ll walk you through the cabin cause I never…
I ain’t afraid of no ghost! Jerome… once a thriving copper mining town. Today a thriving ghost town! Jerome has also become a popular destination for artists and has a large artist community. The town was founded in 1876 and shortly became known as the wickedest town in the west. Four fires destroyed the town and each time the city was rebuilt, most of the structures standing today are ones rebuilt from the 1894 and 1899 fires. Old New State Motor…
