The most beautiful place.....

Mark and I spent the week-end in Sedona, AZ and we both agreed with USA Today that is has to be arguably the most beautiful spot in America. My photos don't begin to do it one bit of justice but am posting them anyway!

We left early Sat. morning and made stops at two ancient Indian ruins, Montezuma's Castle and Montezuma's Well. Both were very interesting and quite remarkable. Following those tours we headed up to Sedona and the beautiful red rock country and home of Oak Creek Canyon. I had packed a picnic lunch and we ate and spent several hours exploring the creek and all its beauty. We checked into the Amara Resort and Spa around 3:30 and were thrilled with its luxury! (Thanks Megan and Andy!) We walked around uptown Sedona and all the tourist trap gift shops and found a place for dinner Sat. evening. Great western ribeye and atmosphere.

Sunday we did a bit more exploring, had a hearty breakfast at another great restaurant and took a trolley ride that gave us a chance to view and learn about all the mountains surrounding the area and all their unique names. We reluctantly headed back down to hot Phoenix around 1:30 and arrived around 3:30. I understand Phoenix set a new heat record for yesterday and may have done the same again today. It is scorching hot in many areas of the US, though.......

Today we are back watching Drew and it was very good to see his big smile this morning. Funny how you get attached to the little ones........

Anyway, Mark and I had a glorious week-end that we will remember forever! Hope yours was glorious, also.
