Sedona and the Grand Canyon!

Darius and I took a weekend trip to Sedona and the Grand Canyon on his birthday weekend. The weather was perfect, a nice cool down from the three-digits we are used to! We stayed in Sedona overnight and after walking around a bit uptown, we saw Jonah Hex. Ehhhh. I had higher expectations. We woke up early on Sunday, and made it to the Grand Canyon in time for our 10am Bright Angel Bike Tour. It was awesome! We had our own personal tour guide, which was an accident...he was suppose to guide all 8 of us but we asked him so many questions during the first stop that the others went ahead without us! So he stuck with us and gave us a Grand Canyon education :).


Near Bell Rock and right up the street from our hotel.

Look!

The scenery in Sedona is great! Imagine driving down the road and seeing this everyday!

Ready to go on the bike tour!

Can you see the Colorado River ?




Hermit's Rest is a gift shop and snack bar near the canyon.


The Abyss! He got a little too close to the edge for Darius and me

Dresses, Pottery and Sangria, Oh My!

Yay! Jessie and Jim are getting married! AND Jessie asked Carina and I to be in her wedding!Sooooo...Jessie, Carina and I went to the Bridal Expo in PHX a couple of weekends ago and to David's Bridal a couple of days ago so Jessie could pinpoint the styles she likes. Carina and I are also scoping out bridesmaids dresses in Jessie's color--royal blue!
After David's Bridal, we went to As You Wish to paint some pottery and contemplate the dresses we saw that day. The cool thing is that they allow you to bring your own alcohol! So we sipped Sangria, painted and chatted until the place was ready to close!









We really like this dress! Does it come in royal blue????




At As You Wish....

What color should I paint the baseball gloves...?


Three Sangrias coming right up!

No one talk! We need to concentrate!

He said WHAT???

Say Sangria!
