In case you didn't catch that - WE TOOK A LIMO TO IN-N-OUT BURGER. A LIMOOOOOO!! Hahaha!

Drive to Marble Canyon, night at Cliff Dwellers Lodge

Day 3: Board the raft and begin floating!!!! There weren't a lot of stops this day - a lot of floating and enjoying rapids.

Sunrise at Cliff Dwellers' Lodge

Day 4: Rafting!

Our home for a week

Hike up to the "mystery skeleton." Which isn't even there anymore.

Giant cave! So cool!

From inside the cave

Hike up to some food storage thing. I didn't go.

Food storage thing

Day 5: This is the day I figured out that the pad they gave us to sleep on was less comfortable than the ground. Slept much better after that realization.

Our guides: Tim & Jeff

At Phantom ranch. Only flush toilet on the trip. I went twice.

I knew it! Flash flooding is a legitimate concern!

Camp for the night

 Day 6:

Breakfast at the campsite

What?! They have these in the Grand Canyon?!

Hiking to another little waterfall by our campsite.

My changing room

One lady on our trip made us paint a toenail in preparation for the biggest rapid the following day. Whatever.

Dinner! Tuna steaks! Did I mention how great the food was on this trip?

Day 8: Our last day on the river :(

Eric's favorite stop. So gorgeous.

Look at this water!!!!!

Tunnel to next set of falls

Day 9: The Helicopter Ride and trip back to Vegas.

Here it comes!!

I'M IN A HELICOPTER!!!!!!

I was too busy screaming to take many pictures

Thought I was going to die on this airplane...

....but I actually fell asleep right away

Day 10: Back in Vegas....I have no pictures. I'm pretty sure we slept a LOT.
Day 11: Mark met up with us and we headed for Hoover Dam.

Eric was so excited to see this thing

On the penny slots later that night

Big winner!

Day 12: consisted of us wandering around, killing time while we waited for it to be time to go to the airport.

Putting money on the ponies

The end. That was not as quick as I thought. It was fun though. Even with the lack of showers and toilets in the Grand Canyon. Definitely AWESOME.
