We all look at life and see how quickly it goes by. On the 18th, Rich and I will be celebrating our ten year wedding anniversary. Rich surprised me with a weekend away in Sedona. We left on Friday and returned on Sunday.
We spent Friday just walking around the town of Sedona browsing the shops. No child to worry about and no time to keep. Rich found a really nice pair of cowboy boots...he can't have them until Christmas. We wanted to find someplace different to eat, so we settled on the Barking Frog. As we pulled in the parking lot, we realized it was the same place Chrissy and Rob had their wedding reception...the old Casa Ricon. Food was great and ambiance was wonderful.
Saturday we decided to tackle a hike to Devil's Bridge. I was not sure how far I would be able to go, but determination kept me going. The views along the trail were breathtaking. The weather was perfect, crisp and cool. The last portion of the trail was a little rocky and upward. The natural bridge was stunning. I took the short path over to the beginning of the bridge and made my way out onto the top portion. I thought of my father(who is deathly afraid of heights) as I was standing on the top wanting to look down. What a rush! I was so glad I did not decide to turn around and head back to the car. Determination won again.
Rich and I headed back to the hotel in the afternoon to get cleaned up for dinner. We stopped at Chapel of the Rock before dinner and experienced a stunning sunset. The weather was rather windy and cold, but a sunset in Sedona is worth seeing.
Rich made reservations at Dahl & Deluccas for dinner. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner before dinner in the wine shop next door to the restaurant. Dinner was impeccable! I can't even go into detail or I will begin to drool. Highly recommended!
Sunday morning we took a short hike through Oak Creek Canyon and stopped at Tuzigoot National Monument. Rather impressive set of ruins outside of Clarksville. They had rooms with a view...even hundreds of years ago!
After a trek through Tuzigoot...we headed back to Anthem to have dinner at Mom's, or so I thought.....
