After twenty years, we returned to Monument Valley (MV) for a visit. What made our time extra special was the opportunity to share it with our oldest son Chris who is embarking on his own adventures throughout the southwest. Glorious!
Chris just started his own vacation of almost four weeks, to explore the southwest and take photographs of the red rock canyons. We are nearly finished with our trip, and it worked out that we could meet at MV.
We had all day together on Thursday from breakfast through dinner and we enjoyed taking a couple of drives in the canyons. In the morning, Ted drove through the main part of Monument Valley, as Chris and Sue took some pictures. Here’s a pic that Chris took of all three of us on the famous John Ford Point where Mr. Ford directed some John Wayne movies filmed in Monument Valley.
In the afternoon, Chris drove with Sue to the Valley of the Gods, about 30 minutes away. During that time, Ted walked to a mesa rim trail, sat in the wind, and played his guitar for an hour. These times were special for both Sue and Ted in their unique ways. Here’s Sue’s panoramic pic of Monument Valley.
