Sedona Setting

June's wonderful birthday "experience" started out with an early lunch at In-N-Out -- one of our favorite Arizona haunts. We then drove on to Sedona, about 120 miles from where we are staying. A beautiful drive thru all kinds of saguaro cactus, then into dry brushy areas, then into juniper trees, and finally into the red rock country of Sedona, after passing thru Verde Valley. Tom had made arrangements for us to stay at Boots and Saddle Bed and Breakfast...a spot he found on the internet. Boy, did he do good! It was an incredible place, and he picked the best room, Sacred Feather. We walked around downtown
Sedona area, and then relaxed a bit before an amazing Italian meal at Dahl & DiLuca. Here are some pictures of our room...notice the open shower, and the hot tub on our deck...

Here are some scenes from the Sedona area, although somehow the pictures do not do it justice...it is redder than the pictures show.

This is called Coffeepot...

Friday morning we were treated to a special gourmet breakfast. We shared a table with Mike and Brenda. Mike was also there celebrating his birthday (a surprise trip planned by his wife!). We enjoyed our visit with them very much. Mike is a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and is 2nd in command in charge of security at the upcoming Olympics in Vancouver!

Our Sedona adventure was a wonderful "experience" and made getting older much easier to take...and much more fun!

Tiger Tales

It is being reported that Tiger IS here in beautiful Wickenburg, at The Meadows doing some rehab for sexual addiction. He was flown in by private helicopter.
We've been too busy soaking up Vitamin D to blog....enjoying wonderful, sunny weather so far. January 14 we are heading to red rock country - Sedona. Stay tuned as we will have pictures to post from there.

Hasta luego.

Cardinal Game

Since Tom and I believe in giving each other "experiences" for gifts, and we were heading to Arizona the first of the year, he received tickets to the Cardinals/Packers game on January 3. (My sister gave her husband tickets as well, so we all headed to Glendale and the University of Phoenix stadium.)

Making their big entrance.....

A packed house, with a surprisingly large number of Packer fans! Fortunately the Cardinal fans are cordial and respectful of people supporting their team. Since both teams had made it to the playoffs, and Minnesota won their game,

Arizona played mostly second string guys. We got to see Kurt for only one quarter. Larry Fitzgerald played most of the game. In spite of the 33-7 score, it was a fun day and a great experience to see the stadium. In Phoenix, unlike other places, they roll the grass field outside the stadium for sun between games.

So, Sunday January 10 the Cardinals play the Packers once again, in Phoenix...and I guarantee it will be a different game!!! GO CARDS!
