Sedona, AZ

Adrienne and I share a goal of visiting all 50 states before we're 30.  It's a somewhat arbitrary goal, but it forces us to travel to new places.  I hadn't been to Arizona and it was beginning to feel somewhat hopeless that we'd have good reason to visit; we'd contemplated flying to Phoenix for a weekend just to check it off our list.

As luck would have it, my parents were planning on touring the Grand Canyon and exploring the South-Western US and would be using some of their time-share time in Sedona, AZ.  They asked if we'd like to come visit them in Arizona.  We obliged and spent a long weekend in Sedona and managed to cross Arizona off of the list of unvisited states.

My mom's sister Louise and her husband Tom spend their winters in Arizona, so they traveled into Sedona to visit.  In addition, my mom's brother Jim and his wife Kathy also used some time-share time in town... we had a mini-family reunion!

The highlight of the trip was the Pink Jeep tour throughout the greater-Sedona landscape (Adrienne might argue that the highlight was the trip to Nordstrom’s Last Chance, but that’s another story).

This is one of my favorites from the Jeep tour:

For the curious: Adrienne still needs Hawaii.  I need Hawaii and Alaska.
