We got up at seven thirty this morning. It was so cold last night there were icicles hanging from an outside faucet at the Auto Camp. It was nine thirty by the time we left Williams for the Grand Canyon. We rode for two hours over a bumpy dirty road before we got to the gate of the National Park. It was just eleven thirty when we got our first view of the canyon. There is no use trying to describe it. We just stood and looked for awhile, then I took some pictures. Then we got our cottage on the Canyon Rim and went to lunch. After lunch we went for a ride along the rim. We got back at about three thirty, then we went to look over the things in the Hopi House. We came out and watched the people coming up along the trail from the bottom. I met a very nice young Dutch man who was seeing America. At five thirty we saw some Indian dances in front of the Hopi House. At six I went after the pictures I had taken to be developed and they came out beautifully. We had supper about seven fifteen. After supper we went and bought some big pictures for souvenirs. To bed at nine o’clock.
Jane's Notes: LIttle did she know that 16 years later she'd have a little girl named Janie born on this day.
