I have been taking time to upload tons of pictures to photobucket so i can share the beauty and fun soon!
We saw the beauty of the Sedona Red Rocks and a California Condor that flew over!
Then to Montezuma's Castle, which DH really wanted to see and i knew nothing about but it was fascinating as well as beautiful!
spent the night in Flagstaff and the next morning we were off for Meteor crater, Petrified Forest/Painted Desert National park, then all the way up to the Four Corners! WOOHOO!!! lol and how different the desert is there in so many ways, like one area was Ponderosa Pines as far as one could see! Just beautiful huge evergreens! And the smell of fresh outdoors!! Grasslands, bushlands, the Seguaro cactus area, as far as one could see! it was all so absolutley BEAUTIFUL!! and before we left the state, we made it to the Grand Canyon!!! BREATHTAKING! and at 8000' it was still QUITE chilly at noon when we arrived.
oh we saw a roadside Dinosaur Tracks tour and it was soo neat seeing the different dino tracks and tail trails, petrified eggs and even petrified um, well, poop! lol
DH and i both LOVED our whole trip, even with the TONS of driving, to get from SW Arizona to the NE corner and back down again... LOTS of driving!! lol but it was all soo worth ALL we saw and did! Didn't spend all that much money either, which is ALWAYS nice to come home with money in your pocket! lol
Give me a bit more time to get my pictures all uploaded since i wrenched my back muscle and cannot sit at the computer for too long before it stiffens again. i got some done last night and thought i could share as i go lol bear with me, please! :D

WOW, Shirley, we went to Sedona and the Grand Canyon last year and isn't it just sooooo breathtakingly beautiful!!! Thank you for sharing your trip and bringing back the memories...I have a pic of that same Sedona Red Rock...lol
Wow Shirley - Those sure bring me back some wonderful memories of when we drove to OK to see DD when DSIL was in the AirForce! Beautiful photos and so happy you got to enjoy this worldly beauty!
Just got back from a week at the beach - it was even hot there 85 - but then we got home today at 108! Dont think I'll complain about 85 again. Lots to do but will get some pics posted first of next week - cleaning and re-organizing the tent trailer for our next trip then into moth balls for a few months for it. Hugs and so glad you had a great vacation!
