In the morning, Amanda and Dave got 10 donuts for two people. They strategized two donuts each, but then 6 donuts was a better deal, and THEN the generous donut man just kept piling free donuts into the bright pink box. The apple fritter and apple pie donut were obviously incredible and the glazed was excellent, the measuring stick of donut store quality. Driving into the Grand Canyon, they hit traffic on the single lane road. They discovered it was because enormous, shaggy, antlered ELK were slowly plodding in front of car with tourists hanging out of their minivans to capture the beasts on their phones. Amanda and Dave finally arrive. An afternoon at the Grand Canyon! Hurrah! Standing at the edge, leaning on the railing, the canyon was so vast it was almost incomprehensible. It was a bright evening and each layer of red, brown, tan, or white earth was crisp. Walking west with the canyon to our right, they stopped every hundred feet to stare into the abyss. After much searching, they found a perfect triangular rock for canyon viewing! Sitting on the edge of that rock, they felt very alone at this massive tourist attraction. From there, it was almost sunset and Amanda kept insisting "we see what’s around that bend.” Around the 4-5th bend, it opened up to a wide view of the Grand Canyon with a bright peachy, orangey, pinky sunset. Amanda strategically offered to take a photo of a couple with the successful result of them taking a photo of them! See photo above! Dave insisted that they go back to the triangular rock to “watch the sunset.” They half stomp-walked, half ran to the triangular rock before it got dark. Upon arrival, Amanda decided she wanted to see the canyon upside down. So she got on her back and scooted to the edge until her head was dangling into the canyon. It reminded her of throwing your feet up at the apex of a swing so that your head below your body can see the horizon reversed. However, since the view was already inconceivable, seeing it upside down was mind boggling. “Dave you gotta try this!!! Whole new perspective!! Dave you wanna try??” See photo of this nonsense in the gallery. Dave insisted that he did not and took Amanda's hand to pull her up to a seated position. As her head righted itself to above her heart and all the blood drained from her brain, she noticed an enormous ring in her face, Dave was on one knee, and saying many, very nice things. Amanda was so, so, so surprised, emphatically said YES and demanded to hear all of the stories behind the ring decision, purchasing, who knew, what happened, EVERYTHING! She was also very careful not to fling her new beautiful ring into the canyon. Amanda was basically in shock and could only say “YoU dId GoOd JoB dAvId” for the rest of the walk back to the sheep limo (another good story). They celebrated with a delightful dinner of endless soup and breadsticks at the Olive Garden (extra olives).
