Arizona

I've been to Arizona three times.

I was 10-years-old the first time. My dad drove us to AZ to visit my grandparents. (More about that trip later.)

I went back when I was a junior in high school and stayed with my grandparents during spring break. This was also the first time I flew by myself. I think it was a United flight - I remember changing planes in Denver.

My last trip to Arizona was just over a year ago. My parents now spend the winter in AZ - just down the street from where my grandparents had their place. (I'm not sure I will follow this tradition; besides I am way too young to think about retiring.)

Arizona has 7 entries in the "book," but sadly I have only been to one.

The Grand Canyon

My mom would be thrilled if I visited them again in Arizona, but not thrilled to drive me around to the other 6 places I need to visit.
