"National Lampoon's Vacation" 40 Years Ago

It is hard to believe that it was 40 years ago (July 29, 1983 to be exact) that National Lampoon's Vacation was released. 

That summer, I took a vacation trip to the Southwest/Four Corners region that included Grand Canyon National Park; Durango, Colorado (I took my first ride on the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad); Four Corners Monument; and Zion National Park.

After I got home from the trip, I went over to the theaters in Manhattan Village to see the movie. The scene outside of the El Tovar Hotel at the Grand Canyon caught my attention as I was at that spot only days before. 

Time sure does fly!
