Starbucks Tracker: 8

Saturday, June 9, 2012

After a lazy day, catching up on The Glee Project and things like that, Brie and Annie decided to go on a little road trip. So packing themselves up in the car with a bag of snacks, they headed out to Starbucks! Because what better way to start a road trip than coffee and petite vanilla scones?

With Maroon 5 playing, coffees in hand and the sun shining, these two girls set their sights on Grand Canyon, because obviously this is something that needs to be seen. It might have been a two hour drive, but Annie was not likely to be bored because the Arizona landscape is quite a bit different from the Swedish one.




Brie managed not to get lost, which is very impressive, and the girls arrived nice and early at the Grand Canyon to enjoy the warm day before it turned stifling. They trekked up the path, following the growing crowds of fellow tourists, until they reached the canyon rim. That very first eyeful of the massive expanse had both girl sucking in a surprised breath.


 Pictures might be awesome, and quite a few was taken, but nothing can prepare you for the moment when you first see it, and Annie was quite awed to just stare and stare. And take pictures. With a gnome, because obviously for some people it makes sense to bring a garden gnome to Grand Canyon. People are awesome!


And after the visit to Grand Canyon came the much needed shopping so Annie now has a bag of assorted gifties for once she comes back to a rainy Sweden. After that came the oh so very important mission: food! Driving back to Williams the girls went looking for a place to eat and they sure did find a perfect place!



How could people pass this place? Well we could not and we are very happy that we didn't, because after some huge sodas and even huger hamburgers, we set out for the second part of the days adventures!

And that we will talk about later, because we need to start this day and soon we're meeting up with a friend for some time in the sun!
