Nothing is set in stone though (I get the idea that husband is not too keen about Flintstone’s Bedrock City… It’s on the way to the Grand Canyon!) There are definitely places not on here (but are on our TO DO list) that we’d like to visit so continue to follow us as the year progresses!

Awesome itinerary! I’m in Gilbert. I’ve decided I need to get out A LOT more. We are homebodies that need some adventure. I’ve read a few of your posts and this will be a great resource for us.
