It is freaking phenomenal. The drive from Las Vegas to San Diego is going to be SO boring, but enjoy the desert and remember why you don't live there (at least I did). I want to go to Colorado so badly. I have a good friend who lives there and I've been toying with the idea of going and visiting in June. Maybe we will be there at the same time!NotRachemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05535369819272842179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-89694556172447264372015-04-27T10:24:06.497-04:002015-04-27T10:24:06.497-04:00That small plane tour sounds scary!

We plan to just walk around and check out all the free sights that we can. :) We are staying in the Grand Canyon Village at the South Rim, so we will not be near the sky walk. I don't think I would go on that anyway, though! I definitely need to do more research on the GC, considering we will only be there one day.Meg Go Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11707890742715926971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-42824499539707011312015-04-26T21:52:22.508-04:002015-04-26T21:52:22.508-04:00Adam and I have done two cross country road trips ...Adam and I have done two cross country road trips and I thought they were both incredible. I love the landscape in SW because it's so so different than anything we have over here on the east coast. I pretty much just stare in awe the whole thing we're driving through. Honestly, the only state that I have ever been truly bored driving through was Texas because so much of it is just farm land with nothing to see and no stops along the way. <br /><br />I agree with Kristen's tip about making sure you upgrade to a comfortable car. Adam and I have always gotten a luxury minivan. Lots of room to stretch your legs and lay out! <br /><br />I would also suggest bringing your compression socks if you're not planning to stop a lot along the way. I noticed that my legs would sometimes swell up if we were driving far without taking any breaks (besides 5 minute potty breaks).

If you are only in GC for the day, I would make sure you pick the side of the canyon with the "glass walk" - I think there would be more to see on that side. The side that Gunshow and I went to on our honeymoon was super duper beautiful but I felt like all we could was just walk around it. We wished we had stayed longer but we didn't do a lot of research about the GC! Vegas is super duper fun! You have to see a fountain show at the Bellagio! There are so many cool exhibits and things to check out- are you only there for a day?<br />Can't wait to hear more!!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04975156527926120864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-17286594257692639562015-04-26T17:35:11.663-04:002015-04-26T17:35:11.663-04:00Yes, and Paul is SUPER excited. :) It is coming qu...Yes, and Paul is SUPER excited. :) It is coming quickly, we're going in eary June!Meg Go Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11707890742715926971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-11499482786201090132015-04-26T17:29:14.176-04:002015-04-26T17:29:14.176-04:00Ahhhh back up plans.

I know Paul is SET on the GC though. I can look at our itinerary. We COULD skip Vegas and do Sedona instead, then go to SD from there. That is def an option. Paul doesn't even want to go to LV but I do. I figured he would never go to LV with me as a trip on it's own, so stopping there for the night would be a happy medium. I think I should research Sedona more and see if we should do that instead. THank you for your insights!

I drive a little Chevy Cobalt, so whenever we rent a car, we always just get the cheapest they have since it's pretty much the type of car I drive on the reg anyway. BUT it may be nice to spend a little bit more money and have some more room/comfort. I will definitely think about that- thanks for the tip!<br /><br />Oh I have already googled "best sushi places in San Diego" and have a list bookmarked. We LOVE sushi! Do you know of a good place to RUN in SD? Besides, like, everywhere??? :)Meg Go Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11707890742715926971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-16795749962538337982015-04-26T17:22:04.472-04:002015-04-26T17:22:04.472-04:00Thank you for the Denver tip.

This year will actually be better to do the Incline -- I guess they totally redid it last fall, and it's supposed to be a lot nicer -- no more jagged pipes to step over. As far as Denver-ish hikes, you might look into some around Golden, like North Table Mountain.

Make sure you rent a comfortable vehicle, since you will be spending a lot of time in it. :) I like the way you have everything planned out - big drive, stay a while, big drive, stay a while, small drive, stay a little. It's perfect. I have only been to Vegas and San Diego. There are a million things you could do in Vegas and I highly recommend eating Sushi in San Diego. Otherwise, I haven't been to the other places on your list and will be living vicariously through you. :)Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04749992004731099306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-72588195330729679172015-04-26T15:36:03.241-04:002015-04-26T15:36:03.241-04:00Sounds like a great trip and really 6 hours drive ...Sounds like a great trip and really 6 hours drive is not THAT long and i'm sure you will keep each other entertained.

Maybe this summer will be our year for it, too. I love Sedona, btw, but the first time we went to AZ we didn't see the Grand Canyon and that disappointed me. I liked having the time to see both a few years later (although my favorite canyon ever is the Zion in Utah). I love the southwest in general!Ali K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15736472530374069410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-40828685039609737322015-04-26T10:40:24.520-04:002015-04-26T10:40:24.520-04:00That sounds like an awesome trip!

Anyway, if you can somehow alter your plans to visit Sedona I highly recommend! Road trips are the best! I'll have my road trip video of vegas and utah up tomorrow, so maybe that will give you some good ideas?

If you had anymore time to do the Grand Canyon-- I would try and spend more time there. Ironically, it can be VERY crowded on the outskirts of the park--I don't mind driving a lot of vacation. It is a great way to see the US!<br />We pack a cooler with ice, and if we are doing the meandering kind of drive, pick up what we need for a picnic lunch or dinner along the way-- of course you do need a backup plan!Cherylhttp://whymomruns.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-22850633766093338542015-04-26T06:23:41.987-04:002015-04-26T06:23:41.987-04:00You won't ever disappoint Paul on your plannin...You won't ever disappoint Paul on your planning of this vacation because no matter what you will be together!
