Friday morning Rob and Garth got up early and picked up the 12 passenger van we would take on our road trip. Our first stop was the outlet mall in Anthem (okay, we didn't get too far out of Phoenix before stopping) but after we all made a purchase or two ...
and grabbed some lunch we spent the rest of the day in Sedona.
There is no place on earth like the beautiful red rocks and blue sky of Sedona. As you can see it was dusted with snow and it was cold!
Garth's cousin, Royce, has a house in Sedona and we took advantage of the parking and bathroom facilities there. We then took a quick hike near his house to the top of Tea Cup, encountering snow and hail on the way which added to the adventure.
As the clouds raced across the sky and played peek-a-boo with the sun, the views of Sedona's rocks continually changed. The snow added its own special touches.
Last summer Anita and I went through all the pictures that we have together from over the years and realized that we have very few. We decided that we would remedy the situation while she was here this time, so be prepared.
Here are just a few more gorgeous shots from the top of Tea Cup.
Chimney rock is way in the background of this shot of Jeske.
Wouter had wanted to go down Slide Rock but unfortunately it was closed. We really wanted to see him brave the freezing water but alas he will have to wait until his next trip. Raquel and Dave came with us on Friday but after dinner in bitter cold Flagstaff, they took Dieter and went home.
For the first day of our road trip we had spent a bunch of money, enjoyed the beauties of Sedona and nearly frozen to death in Flagstaff (that's where we spent the night), what more could you want in a day?
