The Grand Canyon

It was an accident. He had mentioned driving to the Grand Canyon earlier, but it was a joke. Not enough time, not enough daylight. Nobody wanted to be in the car that long anyway. Miles passed. Arizona’s ponderosa pines floated by the window as music lulled us into our individual thoughts.

Then we were at the crossroads. Wait, where were we? A consult with map, and it turned out we had a missed a turn a while back. We were going to see the Grand Canyon after all.
