Spring Break '08 destination confirmed

We have decided that we will head to Phoenix for Spring Break this school year. We are still in the planning stages but we intend to focus mainly on National Park's sites.

Last year, we took the RV to Arkansas and meander through Tennessee on the return trip. The year before that we toured Florida, meandering through Georgia and South Carolina on the return home.

I don't know exactly what our itinerary will be for this trip yet, but if we create one with a general outline of where to be each day, it provides us with enough structure to have a lot of fun.

Things I know we want to do: Petrified Forest, Hubbell Trading Post, Canyon de Chelly, the Four Corners (the image is the marker in the center of the concrete site at the end of a lonely road,) a drive through Monument Valley and, of course, the north and south rims of the Grand Canyon.

But there are so many more places to see: Zion, Arches, Mesa Verde, Canyonlands, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reefs, Natural Bridges, and so many others. We really wanted to do the new Skywalk in the northwestern area of the Grand Canyon.

If you're interested, I'll post plans as we get closer. Jocelyn lived in AZ for a long time. She's an Arizona State grad. I've only traveled through, never for tourism. This will be everyone's first time to the big hole in the ground except for Jocelyn. She's says that the kids will love this.

Looks like my problem will be in trying not to do too much.

Any tips? Have you been there? I welcome any suggestions.
