A few years ago, we found an old VHS with this video on it. Its from Christmas 1990. I was 8 years old, and its flagrantly obvious why I became an electrical engineer. Its a great to see these old videos.

Trip to Williams

December 22nd, 2009

We began our trip to Williams last July when we booked our reservation for the Polar Express. A week ago, we decided to extend our trip by a day by staying Saturday as well as Sunday. Saturday night, we stayed at the Canyon Country Inn. It was a very cool house turned hotel. It is located right on Route 66 making it within walking distance of my new favorite coffee house, American Flyer, which by the way is half coffee house, half children’s play area, and half bike shop. Yes I know that adds to 1.5, which is why its such a cool place to enjoy a hot beverage. Sunday, we drove up to the Grand Canyon and toured the area. Aubrey got to learn how to drive on ice, the keyword being momentum. Ethan loved playing in the snow, so much that we are planning a trip back to Flagstaff/Williams for snow and sledding. We returned just in time to check into our next hotel, the Grand Canyon Railway Hotel, and eat dinner before the Polar Express. The Polar Express was cool way to spend the evening. We read the book, drank hot cocoa, and sang Christmas songs. Ethan even received a Christmas bell from Santa Claus. We headed home the next day to spend it with Grandma Lisa making peanut butter balls. We finally made it home Tuesday night, just shy of 10pm. I am sure Aubrey will have more to say soon. Below are some photos highlighting the trip.
