30th Anniversary Trip – Part 3 – Grand Canyon
Our final destination of this trip was the Grand Canyon. This was about 2 hours north from Sedona. We took the scenic route out of Sedona. This route was a 2 lane road up the mountain to Flagstaff, the further north we went the more snow we saw. We got back on the interstate around…
30th Anniversary Trip – Part 2 – Sedona, AZ
On Friday morning we got up and headed almost 2 hours north to Sedona. Getting out of the city we were able to see the surrounding mountains and all of the cactus that grow in that region. It also got colder the more north we went. We arrived early to Uptown Sedona. The area looks…

Beautiful and Terrifying
Planning the Trip, one of my favorite parts! Julie usually writes most of these blogs, but I wanted to give my side of the story for our recent Arizona trip. We had our 30th Annniversary coming up in April of 2023, and we had been discussing for some time what to do. We don’t usually…

Sunset in Orange Beach
I love to watch a pretty sunset. If you have vacationed in Orange Beach, then you know that during the summertime the sun does not set over the water. It sets over land, and with all the high rise condos you can’t really watch it or get pictures of it. So when we vacation there…
Pete’s in Orange Beach
We recently spent a few days in Orange Beach, Alabama. This is a place we visit often so we are always looking for new spots that may have opened up since the last visit. On this trip we were staying across the street from this building that was not there on our last visit. We…
