Yes, I was skeptical at first. I grew up going to the beach every summer so went I found out the family vacation was in the desert this year I was a little weary. But wow was I wrong. These past few days have shown me things that I could not have even imagined.

Because I am soon to be a freshman at Arizona State University my family decided to go to Arizona a little early. The past few days I have had the opportunity to travel through Arizona and see some other most beautiful landscapes. These include The Grand Canyon, Antelope Canyon, Lake Powell, and Horseshoe Bend.

Coming from the East Coast, I was shocked to see how different everything is in the West. But different in a good way. It was the first time I've seen a sky full of stars. Seriously, I had no idea how pretty the stars were until I saw them in Sedona, Arizona.

Even though there are no beaches in Arizona we still managed to find one on Lake Powell that was amazing. The water was 80 degrees and you were surrounded by beautiful rock formations. So if you are skeptical like I was, I can guarantee you that you will love a vacation in the desert. I believe that everyone should get to see the desert at least once so give it a try. I promise you will not be disappointed.
