Exploring Williams, Az – Day One

Posted in Family, Outdoor Adventures, and Photography

We decided that we needed to take a little break from our normal routine, so a camping trip was planned. We needed to head away from our immediate area as it was just too hot to be camping here – especially dry camping which is our norm for our area.
