The first stop of our Arizona-Utah road trip was the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, which is by far is the most visited side of the Canyon. That’s because it is the most accessible and provides the most amenities. As with all sides of the Canyon, the South Rim features astounding views of what took Mother Nature millions and millions of years to create. The post about our visit to the West Rim of the Grand Canyon can be seen here.

The Statue of Liberty Crown Tour we booked 4 months in advance because of the limited amount of visitors allowed per day. Approximately 240 people only are allowed to visit the crown each day. This tour included the following: access up to the Crown of the Statue of Liberty, priority entry into the Boarding Queue, which saved us wait time at the departure point and access to the grounds of Liberty Island and Ellis Island.
I really enjoy our short New York trips. One time we visited NYC at Christmas Time. The other time we spent time in Chinatown and Little Italy. This time we were there for a Broadway show and the Statue of Liberty Crown tour.
Dave and I were looking forward to see The Book of Mormon musical for a while. Finally, The Book of Mormon musical arrived at the Opera House of the Kennedy Center in DC. Dave bought the tickets in advance for the first row of the balcony.
This is a picture of The Book of Mormon Proscenium (the stage opening) and Scrim (special effect theater curtains). I was wondering what they exactly mean, and I found the explanation from the playbill.com site: “The Proscenium, which is inspired by contemporary Mormon temples and other religious architecture, is filled with illuminated stained glass windows that transform in color throughout the evening, and is topped by the gilded (and rotating!) statue of the Angel Moroni. This frames our entire evening, attributing an important pageant-like quality to the story. The Show Scrim and the architectural panels installed above each of the audience boxes are inspired by galactic views of the universe, combined with an inspirational greeting-card-style sunrise to create an imagined vision of Mormon heaven.”
