Our Trip to Sedona, AZ

I know it has been a couple of weeks now, but I wanted to tell you about our trip to Sedona, AZ. Alex and I had a fabulous time at our friends Julee's wedding! Our mornings consisted of eating breakfast at our hotel and then heading out for a hike. Sedona is a fabulous place to do hiking. :) The weather was amazing. Overcast, in the high 70's.

Friday, was a long day. I arrived in Phoenix around 1pm and Alex's flight from Japan wasn't due to land until 7pm, so I decided to go to the movies at a nearby mall...yes all by myself...to kill some time. Once Alex finally landed we headed to Sedona (a 2 hour drive) and checked in around midnight.

Saturday, wedding day for Julee and Patrick. We got up ate breakfast, did a quick hike and got ready for our couples massage at a nearby spa. It was amazing!!! We got done just in time to get dressed for the wedding and catch the shuttle to what was going to be an interesting ride to the wedding site. Our driver was crazy. He had the music on loud, kept turning around to talk to us while almost driving off the road. I think I almost had a heart attack a couple of times. Needless to say, it was all worth it when we pulled up to this amazing house in the middle of Sedona; surrounded by mountains everywhere. :) The wedding was a beautiful evening and the food was Julee's favorite. Mexican food...REAL MEXICAN FOOD!!!

Sunday, we got up for breakfast and then off to brunch in at the Red Rock Cafe. After brunch we changed into hiking attire and went on a 3 hour hike with another couple and it was a blast. :) We ended the evening shopping and having dinner at Savannah's (Steak and Seafood), I HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Monday, we got up early and drove to the Grand Canyon, spend the day there hiking, eating ice cream and enjoying the most amazing views. It definitely was some amazing husband and wife time. :)

Tuesday, we headed to the airport and arrived back in Houston...soooo excited to see our sweet baby Emerson. We missed him terribly. Grammie did an amazing job with him all week and spoiled him with lots of Thomas the Train toys. :) What a great vacation!
