Happy July 4th!

We just got back into town from a overnight stay in Sedona. Overall, it was a nice getaway. We arrived at around 1pm just in time to catch a nice afternoon monsoon downpour. It was the first rain we had seen in a long time (it's been a brutal June here in Phoenix).

We stayed at a nice B&B called the Baby Quail Inn. We really liked the atmosphere of the place, but there was one BIG problem...the mattress was UNcomfortable. It's really sad because we enjoyed everything else about the place, but it's hard to think about staying there again when you spend the night tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

The owner seemed to have been somewhat involved in the Hollywood scene back in the day and he showed us a little "museum" room of old photos of himself on shows like Mary Tyler Moore. He was 83, but was still in great shape.

After we checked out, we drove towards Flagstaff and the Sliderock state park. After awhile driving, we finally happened on a fairly remote stretch of the creek where I could take my shoes off and wade in the water. Man was it cold.

I will upload some pictures once Noemi downloads them from the camera.
