Jason and I left last Friday for a weekend trip to the desert. After seeing a House Hunters episode of Sedona, I had to see it for myself. The weather was great. They are about 10 degrees cooler on average than Pheonix. There was zero humidity and my hair has never been so straight! First off, country music singer Luke Bryan was on our flight to Pheonix! I'm not very calm around famous people and I tend to scream in their face (sorry, Jeff Gordon), but I was cool and collected when I saw Luke. Later, I found out he was doing a show with Tim McGraw in Pheonix that night. Well, I know Tim was on his private plane with Faith and the girls, but had it been him on my Southwest flight I would've been elbowing some people to get to him!!
We drove the 2 hours to Pheonix and stopped for lunch at In & Out Burger. Lord have mercy, that was the best burger I've ever had! I hope we don't get them in Nashville b/c I'll have to get a membership at the gym. When we drove thru Flagstaff I had to remind Jason that's where Clark Griswald had to drop off Aunt Edna when she died on the way to Wallyworld!!! Yes, this swing is in the creek behind our resort. Soooo relaxing!
This chapel is built into the side of the rocks. So cool. I said a prayer for some special people here.
We went to Sliding Rock State Park on Saturday. The water was 58 degrees but after paying $20 a car to get in the park, I was getting my moneys worth! Seriously, Sedona is not cheap. It is gorgeous though. As you can tell, I really didn't slide as much as push myself.
These crazies were jumping from the cliffs.
But this was more our speed :)
Jason bored while I shop.
These awesome loungers were on the back deck of the resort.
Sunday night we sat outside and watched the Heat bring it!
This was the view from the front deck.
I loved our room! It was quaint as you can tell.
On our way to Sedona we stopped at this scenic overlook. We didn't realize how much prettier it would get!
Montezuma's Castle was built by the Native Americans in the 1400s. Up until 1951 ladders were placed against the rock and visitors could go through the castle.
We had a great time and made some fun memories.

Awesome! Believe it or not Sedona is one place I have never been. I definitely want to one day. I'm glad you loved it!
I freakin love Sedona and Flagstaff! Ya'll didn't make it to the Grand Canyon?
I dream of an "adult vacation" like this one day. For some reason, I think Disney World, beaches and theme parks are more in the near future then somewhere QUIET and relaxing as this. But I can dream.....:)
I am just now seeing these. How fun and so beautiful!!! I want to go!
