Off The Beaten Path

I had the opportunity to go with my parents to visit a section of Arizona that is, lets just say, less populated than others. We stayed in Holbrook and visited a few cool things around there.
I got to explore a little bit on the Navajo Reservation, which was cool and absolutely beautiful since it was mostly just undisturbed nature. We also got to do some work in the Snowflake, AZ Temple. It was such a pretty temple too! The pictures we took were'nt spectacular because it was SO windy there, BUT they have their charm : )
On the way home we visited the famous meteor crater. It is the world's most well-preserved meteor crater, as well as the first crater to be proved as an impact crater, rather than one made from a volcano. You know how sometimes, you'll go somewhere and you end up with a crappy tour guide that only knows the 10 facts he learned from reading a script? Well, we were way excited because our guide was not like that at all! He made that huge hole in the ground sound like Disneyland. Seriously, though, I really do love stuff like this and our tour guide made it even more awesome!
We also stopped in Lake Havasu and got to see the real London Bridge! It's crazy to see such an awesome, old, and dignified piece of architecture in a place like Havasu, which is, well...kinda ghetto. Ya know, the place where people go to get drunk and run around like crazies! : )
Anyhow, we enjoyed our little trip, which was pretty much spontaneous and got to see some cool things along the way.
