October 5th
Leaving the Grand Canyon, we were off to Flagstaff to begin the next leg of the trip – visiting attractions other than National Parks. Flagstaff, being along the infamous ‘Route 66′, is a place the boys wanted to see, and there was also a period we had to convince that driving from Chicago to LA isn’t quite in our plans, nor does Radiator Springs exists.
First stop though, is something pink, on four wheels, and flies .. well almost. And it gave us a ride to remember!
Broken Arrow
We stopped over at Sedona to go on a Pink Jeep tour on the ‘Broken Arrow’. Seated and well-strapped down, we were on our way to the red rocks on a Pink-coloured 4×4 Jeep. And what a ride it was, visiting breath-taking sites and scenery, and learning about the local vegetation and geological structures along the way, it was a ride that no theme park can every reproduce (and the boys would know).
Every turn is a new challenge to try to remain seated, but it wasn’t about keeping one’s behind firmly on the seat, it was a ride with twists and turns, and driving up and down rocks and steps at angles that almost defy physics, we were stationary on slopes that would otherwise send any other vehicle toppling over, and at some point, Michael (our driver & guide), said ‘Look! No hands!’. YAHOO… the boys shouted.
It was a ride never to be forgotten, and we thanked the guide, and exchanged contact numbers and email addresses with our fellow travellers, a mother and daughter team 
Great pix, phekthong – especially like the one with the whole family!
Boys must be having a whale of a time, with lots of stories to tell their friends : )
And you can experience the US elections too!
Where to next, after the desert area?
