Cowboy Pastor
The silhouette of the "cowboy Baptist pastor", as we called him, who led the sunrise service at Sunset Point, Bryce Canyon.We made it to Las Vegas! We had a wonderful Easter morning, and actually managed to get up early enough for an amazing sunrise service at Bryce Canyon. It was, beyond a doubt, the most unique and freezing cold sunrise service either of us has attended. It was about 16 degrees out, with chilling wind gusts throughout the service. I must admit, I started to be completely unable to focus on the "devotion" part of it, as my legs were beginning to freeze! However, we thoroughly enjoyed it.
After the sunrise service, we drove to Las Vegas. We descended from about 8,000 feet of elevation at Bryce Canyon to about 2,000 in Las Vegas (I think...). It was very interesting to go from a freezing cold morning to 70 degree weather in Vegas! Once here, we walked a bit down the strip with Tucker. Then we got all dressed up to go out on the town! It was lots of fun seeing all of the sites and lights of Las Vegas.
We have just stopped at a Starbucks for Tony to finish his paper for school, then we're headed to Flagstaff for the night. After that, we'll be hitting
Sunrise
Beautiful view of the canyons at sunrise. the road pretty hard to get to TN.
