We love a Road Trip!  So we took off super early Friday morning and took in some sites before we pack up and leave AZ. 
                                                         A stop off in Sedona

The main road we were going to take out of Sedona was blocked because of the wildfires.  It was sad to see the smoke. 

 Our 2nd time admiring the Grand Canyon.  Pictures don't do it justice!  It is truly an inspiring landscape!
 
 Owen was super nervous about getting anywhere near the edge.  I think he may have a fear of heights.  He would totally panic when Meg got anywhere near the edge!

                                                            The Hoover Dam!





 Then it was off to Vagas!  Owen and Pascal like to watch a show called Pawn Stars on the History Channel.  So we took Owen by the shop so he could see it in person!  He thought this was super cool!
                   Checking out the store.  They were actually taping later that day.





A visit to the Riverside National Cemetery





Then it was off to The Ronald Reagan Library.  This was our first visit to a Presidential Library and it was amazing.  Truly a great experience, we are excited to see some other Presidential Libraries in the near future.



 I didn't know that in each library they re-create the Oval Office.  Each president gets to pick their own color scheme.  Ronald Reagan chose a South Western theme.
 I asked Meg when leaving what is one thing you learned about Ronald Reagan.  And she said, "He loved jelly beans!"  and that is true!  He loved them!

 This was super cool!  You got to walk through the old Air Force One.  It is set up just like it was when Reagan used it. (Nixon, Ford, Carter,  Bush, and Clinton used it as well.) 

                                                        President Reagan's resting place.


 
 
We covered many hours and miles on this trip and were able to see some amazing landmarks and gorgeous scenery but the most beautiful site of the whole trip is in the video below!
Enjoy!
