Memorial Day in Sedona


For a little getaway we took a road trip to Sedona, Arizona for the long holiday weekend. What a gorgeous place that rightfully earns it's nickname of "Most Beautiful Place in the America". We did some challenging and ultimately very rewarding hikes with breathtaking views--perhaps a little more than we should have with a 3 year old and a baby--but they were both troopers. Sasha loved scrambling up all the red rock. Jack chilled in the Bjorn. On one of the hikes we foolishly left our drinks in the hike backpack that we had to abandon halfway up because the crevices became too narrow and awkward for it. It was super hot and we were all very, very thirsty by the time we came back to it. The picture at left shows Sasha thoroughly enjoying her first IBC Root Beer at the end of this hike. She kept talking about "beer" meaning "root beer" the rest of the trip. "Just one more sip of beer before bed." and "When we get back I'm going to drink all of the beer." It sounded so wrong!
We spent the mornings kiddie poolside at the hotel going between the pool and the hot tub. Jack loved the water and was a great traveler for the 7 hour trip thankfully.
