We are now on the road back East. We really hate to see our time in the Southwest come to an end. We have had just an incredible time! Max even cried a little bit last night when he realized that we were leaving this amazing part of our country. It is so great that our kids are old enough to really partake in everything that we want to do. We have done our share of hiking this week and have had no complaints or dragging behind. Everyone can keep up. Yesterday, we drove through the mountains to Sedona from Flagstaff.
We stopped long enough to see some gorgeous views of the valley and to do some shopping at the Native American outdoor market. After a 4 mile dusty hike in the red rocks of Sedona, we stopped at the beautiful home of my friend, Leah's, aunt. We had a short but nice visit with Mary Kay and Gary while enjoying the amazing views from their rooftop deck. We then headed out on a two hour Pink Jeep adventure. The jeep tour was fantastic!! We all loved every minute of the scary, thrilling, and whiplashing ride, up and down steep rocks and crevices, to places that no vehicle should ever be able to go. Not one of the kids was ever scared and hated to see the ride come to an end. What an experience!
This morning, before leaving the Flagstaff area and heading to Texas, we stopped at the Walnut Canyon National Park and hiked down 185 feet below the rim of the canyon to explore some old cliff dwellings.
Cold and windy but beautiful and interesting. The rest of our day has been driving, driving and driving...
