~:[CH14 - Day 363]:~ The Greatest Views on Earth
There are some great views in this country. When I took my road trip around Utah's Might 5, I saw many of them. As I've traveled around from state to state, I've collected a number of beautiful images to store away in my mind. However, the Grand Canyon ranks up there as one of the most beautiful views I've captured in my mind. While I do prefer the south rim, with only about a day, it was unreasonable to trek that way. We set off early and headed straight to Arizona. The first stop is a bit meh in my opinion, but they were still in awe of the beautiful canyon. However, by the second stock, they were truly impressed. Their eyes lit up as one called his friend to show him the view. During the drive, I was a bit tired and it felt a little isolated as they had fallen asleep, still yet, I used the time to reflect on many of the great places I've visited in my life and the many memories I collected. As I passed by the Hoover Dam or stopping at Barstow Station, a number of memories pass through my mind combined with some of the great views I've been able to see. Today, aside from simply the scenery, the eyes of them both was a view I'll never forget. When someone truly appreciates what they are able to do or see, it's evident and it's quite the memorable moment. My heart was overflowing already, but the views of the Strip also left them in awe as we walked from hotel to hotel before enjoying some time relaxing. It was a day of great views and memorable moments, but as I said, the greatest view was the view of their faces as they soaked in the beauty that surrounded them. At times in life, money is tight and we can't always do everything we want to do, however, we can do what we can to give those around us experiences that will fill their hearts with joy and create memorable experiences they'll never forget as those are truly the greatest views on Earth.
