If your built of somewhat more adventurous stuff, and aren’t the type that wants to lay on the beach all summer long, then I’ve got a great vacation suggestion for you.  Why not pile the family into the old jalopy, and head out to the Grand Canyon.  Now, before you get images of the Grisswolds heading of for a vacation disaster, you may want to give this a little more thought.  The Grand Canyon is really one of the most spectacular places to visit in North America, if not the world.  Plus, there’s enough different things to do there, that your bound to find something to keep the entire family happy.

Grand Canyon Tours offers a whole plethora of ways to explore and learn more about the canyon.  You can take rafts down the river, fly overhead in a helicopter, or rent ATVs and drive around the canyon in a remarkably up close and personal way.  While I’m not a big fan of ATVs, I think this would be a perfect way to see and experience as much of the area as possible within a short time period.  I like, that you get to be close to the environment this way as well.  It’s sure got to beat the heck out of riding a donkey   Although, horseback would be another pretty cool way to visit the canyon.  I’m not much of a rider though, and I know my wife is not too keen horse back riding.   Plus ATVs appeal more to the speed demon in me.
