11/7/2014 Lazy Float Down the Colorado River

(Page, AZ)

None of us had a problem jumping out of bed this morning and facing the day.  We were all pretty excited to get on the river.

Our hotel offered a free breakfast bar so Bonnie, Kenny, Sean and Bob took advantage of that.  I wasn’t particularly hungry so I organized our snacks and the rest of our stuff for the trip today.

We went to the place where we were supposed to catch the bus for our 10 minute ride to the river.

We had a little bit of time to spare so Bonnie tried on hats.

The ones in the picture below were just uncovered within the last two to three years.

I have a lot more pictures but they are essentially, more of the same.

We finished our trip and took the two hour bus ride back to where we started.  Before going back to the hotel we did stop to see the “horseshoe”.

Scenery on the way.

The colors could change from one mile to the next.

We finally got to that sweet spot.  Kenny was the brave one.  He was determined to get the perfect picture.

To think, we had just floated this portion of the Colorado River.

We had great plans of going out to eat dinner but finally opted to order pizza in.  It was a long day
