Arizona
August 2008
My daughter Christine, her husband John, my grandchildren and I all flew to Phoenix Arizona.
We rented a car and drove to Sedona where we would stay for a week.
As we drove from Phoenix to Sedona, we were in awe of the countryside.
Being from the east coast, the scenery was wondrously different.
Christine's father Bud left Maryland on his Harley the week before and joined us late that day.
The next morning, we drove west to Clarkdale to ride on the Verde Canyon Railroad.
Before dawn the next day we took a ride in a hot air balloon.
This was a really cool experience.
We watched the sun rise from high in the air.
We then took a "Pink Jeep" tour, and we literally rode around in a pink Jeep for several hours.
The ride was a bit bumpy (actually it was very bumpy)
but it provided us the opportunity to stand on top of a number of the buttes.
And the views were breathtaking.
While in Arizona, we naturally wanted to see the Grand Canyon.
The first view we got of it was from a plane.
At last we got up close to the Grand Canyon.
It truly is magnificent.
Each day, after wearing ourselves out seeing the sights, we returned to our condo in Sedona.
