When I first signed on to do this trip, Nicole and Kate told me that we were going to be camping and sleeping at churches.

Colin on the other hand, said that Colorado is the best. Instead of writing about why Cali is better, I’m going to give pros and cons of what I find in both states….

I have x amount of minutes to get my point of view across and it’s up to me to make the audience understand what I am talking about. The better…
Little known fact, the Grand Canyon use to be called the big canyon until an explorer said that this was not big, this is grand! Today we got the day off and visited the grand canyon. It was amazing!
