We took a day trip last Friday to Sedona, where we spent the morning hiking around the beautiful Red Rock State Park. The sky was perfectly blue and the rocks a brilliant red.
After lunch and shopping in downtown Sedona, we checked out the scenery from the Chapel of the Holy Cross, a narrow church that straddles two giant rocks and offers lovely vistas.
Back in Phoenix the next day, Grandma and Grandpa and I visited Taliesin West while the boys enjoyed an afternoon of swimming and hiking with Kent.
Our final day in Phoenix was spent doing what we loved best -- being outside. We hiked to the top of South Mountain again for a picnic and played in the pool most of the afternoon.

Our vacation was a lovely escape. Back home, it snowed shortly after we arrived, and we endured extra long commutes on our first day back to school and work. The temperature hovered around 0. Grant is already planning our next trip -- to warm and sunny California.
