Today is our 7th anniversary!

We are traveling today. We started out heading east out of Grand Canyon National Park and stopped at the Desert View Watchtower to get a different persepective of the canyon. This is also a place where you can actually see the Colorado River flowing through the canyon.

(inside the 4-story watchtower)

We then continued toward Colorado and stopped at the four corners monument (the only place in the US where 4 states come together: Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona).

After a 5 hour total drive, we arrived in Mancos, Colorado. We chose this place because Echo Basin Ranch Resort is equidistant between two places we want to see: Cortez, CO (home of Mesa Verde) and Durango, CO (home of the Durango/Silverton Railroad). Echo Basin Ranch is also a horse ranch and Marina loves horses, so I figured she would love it here. Boy, did I figure right. We picked a spot right against the pasture fence and she has been fascinated all evening!
