Another stop on my touristy tour of AZ with my mom and aunt visiting from Norway. We took in the sights on the South Rim on either side of an awesome helicopter tour noted in a separate photoset. Had dinner at the Arizona Room, and when heading to the car just about to head for home, Mom slipped in the parking lot, causing a huge gash in her knee. I pulled out my first aid kit but could easily see that medical care would be required. The clinic was already closed, so I wrapped her knee up in some gauze and an ace bandage. Got some ice from the restaurant, and proceeded to get to FMC in just under an hour. Two hours and 17 stitches later, we hit the road again, heading for the valley, finally arriving back at about 1:30am. An awesome trip with a slightly sour ending. Could've been a lot worse though!
