like a DMV visit.
Hey, remember when I visited SF to look unsuccessfully for a job in Oakland* and we had to go to the police station and the DMV, neither of which could even help me at all?
Good times, man.
ETA: Dude. That was actually a completely different SF trip when I lost my license at the Grand Canyon. Wow, my relationship with that city was ill-fated from the start.
I had no sandwich! I had sushi. And chips. And some donut holes.
I am shocked and appalled to see more than one pastrami sandwich with mayo on that blog. And I love mayo!
Speaking of blogs, last night my mother asked me (1) what's Twitter, and (2) if I read blogs. I was like, isn't everything a blog now??
Hey! Speaking of the Grand Canyon, what's near enough by it to combine into a vacation for non-outdoorsy types, aside from Las Vegas? (My parents and I are talking about a family vacation, and I had to remind my mother why Banff probably isn't the right place for us....)
I'm just finishing up a bowl of oatmeal. A sandwich is a possibility for dinner, though.

I blame the Grand Canyon.

Paging megan walker!
(Who had a long trip through the SW last fall, and had many recommendations.)

There's lots of stuff in Arizona alone -- Desert Museum in Tucson, Petrified Forest, Devil's Canyon, and just driving through the landscape. I LOVE Arizona.
I had a salad for lunch but will have a mozzarella-tomato-prosciutto sandwich for dinner.
The official site actually looks pretty good:

I had a T-day leftover lunch. I made turkey breast with veggies, mashed potatos, and dressing this weekend. I should have made gravy, but it was still yummers.
I may actually accomplish getting 4 months of invoices for a vendor approved for payment. This has been a curse on many of my days.

Well, my trip was pretty outdoorsy. You could do a non-active, but scenic loop through Zion (the Utah park you can best see without hiking via the great shuttle bus system), Page/Lake Powell, and the Grand Canyon. Monument Valley is gorgeous and more about driving tours than hiking, but it's a bit out of the way if you are flying into Vegas.
But I think I would revert to my first trip to Arizona/New Mexico (a family trip in 6th grade) and suggest doing a loop that would involve Flagstaff (cute town), Sedona/Red Rock country, Jerome (ghostown), and Montezuma's Castle (cliff dwelling). If you pass through Williams, you must have the pie at the Pine Country restaurant (facing the train station with the trains that take you to the Grand Canyon).
