LEAVING FOR SEDONA AND PRESCOTT FOR A FEW DAYS


I found this spectacular video of this bartender on the internet - wow is all I can say. 


 
I found some photos off the net.  This top one is a photo of the room we stayed in about six years ago at Bell Rock Inn.   We booked another stay there this time but it might have been renovated and not look the same.

First off we will go to Prescott for three days and then Sedona for two.  I have been wanting to get back to this area for a visit since 2004.  We have been twice before.  My husband's father died on Valentine's day 2004 in Sedona, and that is the last time we were here.





The first time we visited my back was bothering me so I couldn't hike.  The second time was for his father's death, so there wasn't much recreation time going on.



These mountains, as you come around a curve and see the first ones, take your breath away - they are so beautiful.


My first hike, the first time I was here was out to Bell Rock along this path.



I have never been here when it snowed - 

How incredibly beautiful these mountains are with snow.  I'll have to definitely visit some time in winter.


Speaking of snow - we are moving to Wrightwood, Ca - a mountain town - around the middle of June.  I'm so excited that I had to go on vacation first to make the time pass quickly.  I'll have a lot to blog about once I'm moved.

Sedona is one of my favorite places. I remember coming around that curve and seeing the mountain for the first time. It did take my breath away! Can't wait to hear about your trip and see some photos.

Sedona is one of those places I have to go to again. I remember being there as a drive through in 1972. We stopped by a stream and walked on its paths and waded in the water for a while. We admired the beauty and then moved on to Jerome. Jerome we explored. In depth. Rerunning those few days would be a real treat.

Thanks everyone. Will be there tomorrow and I hope to get a lot of photos. Having fun in Prescott right now.

Annie - I like Jerome and we may stop there while in Arizona.

I remember buying some greeting cards in a gallery there years ago.
