Sedona Part I

There was much anticipation for our 10 day vacation this year to Sedona. We only go on a "big" vacation every few years, so we tend to get pretty excited when we leave the state of Missouri. Thanks to credit card air travel points and a generous gift of timeshare from my parents we set out on our great western adventure.

We were so uptight and nervous about Weston's first airplane ride (it was 3 1/2 hours!) that we took NO pictures of him on the plane. Isn't that terrible? We were too busy stuffing fruit snacks in his mouth and playing with stickers that we did not get the camera out once.

But this is what we saw once we arrived in Sedona...



It is BEAUTIFUL there! It reminds me of Colorado (sort of), but RED. And warm! We had a very tired (and understandably cranky) toddler on our hands when we arrived, so the first thing we did was go get ice cream and let those little baby legs run around.



It took us a few days to acclimate to the time change and we often woke up at 5 a.m. before Weston started chirping...we had a nice little balcony that was perfect for early morning reading.


And lastly for Part 1 of our vacation posts, we went to a cute little festival at Talapaque (a shopping area) for our first full day. We enjoyed the music and architectural structure of this little area and Weston enjoyed pushing his stroller and getting a balloon elephant.



Bear with me on the whole "lay out" of posting...I'm obviously not a veteran blogger yet. And I haven't told anyone I have a blog yet, so I can't ask for help. If you're reading this already, it is purely by happenstance that you made it here. Stay tuned for more vacation pics...
