Vegas, Grand Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, Antelope Canyon and Back to CA – All Within 36 Hours

It started with an early morning flight out of Long Beach to Vegas.

Kevin, Kaycee and Elliott

Land in Vegas and pack 7 of us into a rental van.

Where to next? Dutch Bros Coffee of course! With a stop at Filipito’s Mexican Restaurant as well.

Then onward toward the Grand Canyon, about a 4 hour drive. Walk around the South Rim a little then get back into the van.

  • Kevin, Elliott, Kaycee, Jo Ann, Ty, Trent & Krystal

Next a two hour drive to Page, Arizona where Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon are.

Drive on some sketchy highways with not a car in sight in any direction.

When we got to Page, we stopped at a Denny’s for dinner. Denny’s is the type of restaurant that you don’t plan to go to, you just end up there. This case was no different.

The Denny’s was a sad scene. No one at the front to greet us and maybe took 3 or 4 minutes for someone to come by and seat us. Soft elevator music setting the scene. Half the restaurant closed off and a few quite patrons seated on the other half. One waitress taking care of all the tables.

I digress.

We get to our hotel and and get to bed as we have a semi early morning to make sure we can get on the road early enough to get back to Vegas to catch our flight.

The first stop is Horseshoe Bend which you can walk right up to and there’s not cost or entrance fee which I believe we heard will be changing in the future.

  • Horseshoe Bend
  • Kaycee and Elliott @ Horseshoe Bend

Then after that we had a guided tour by Ken’s Tours through Antelope Valley.

Then another 4 hours back to Vegas to catch a flight home and make it back in the evening, completing our 36 hour trip.

Really an awesome experience and especially to do it with Kaycee’s parents, brothers and soon to be sister-in-law.

Until next time!

Sabrosada Breakfast Burrito Review – A Damn Good Burrito

Sabrosada Fresh Mexican Food, 12500 Beach Blvd, Stanton, CA 90680

Kaycee’s side of her extended family always gets together at her Unlce Bob’s in Stanton off of Beach Blvd. Each time we drive to his house, we have to pass by Sabrosada Fresh Mexican Food which is on the corner of Beach and Lampson.

We’ve stopped at Sabrosada in the past before dropping off Kaycee’s car at the mechanic close by. Kaycee’s car needed to go back into the shop, so we decided to head over to Sabrosada again (darn) and this time I would be doing a breakfast burrito video review.

Their breakfast burrito is a traditional one with eggs, cheese, potatoes, ham and bacon and it is delicious. Came out piping hot and not too greasy like some of my more recent breakfast burrito reviews. Above average size and definitely filling.

Sabrosada also has this really good cucumber salsa that Kaycee and I love. If anyone is ever going there, we always tell them to pick up some extra cucumber salsa.

Overall, I give this burrito a 4 out of 5 burritos simply because I want to leave room for something to top it.

I think we are going to make it a thing to stop by Sabrosada before we take Kaycee’s car on weekend mornings over to the mechanic in future. Woohoo!

Until next time!
