Advances in technology allow us to avoid commercials, if we choose. We fast forward through ads on television shows we watch from our DVR. We set pop-up blockers on our computers/ And we stream our playlists to avoid radio advertising. All of this causes advertisers to work harder finding ways to get our attention and sell a product.

With all of the marketing that goes on around us everyday, it can be pretty easy to tune out all of the ads floating around us. On a daily basis, most people see ads in the form of billboards, commercials, online banner ads, mailing offers, or print ads.

After a quick breakfast at at the Pine Country Restaurant, our day began at the Williams Depot at 8:30 am with a Wild West Shootout with the Cataract Creek Gang. If the (fake) bullets didn’t kill you the desperadoes’ bad jokes certainly could have. While my husband Paul and I rolled our eyes at the corny comedy, our kids, Nathan and Lucie, enjoyed the gun play immensely and debated if the cowboys were using real bullets or not.

Visiting the Grand Canyon has been on my travel bucket list since I was a little kid and saw the “Grand Canyon or Bust” episode of the Brady Bunch. I’ve been waiting for my kids Nathan and Lucie to get a little bit older. Now that they’re 11 and 8, it seemed like the perfect spring break family trip to drive to Arizona from our home in Colorado.
