Day 4, Sedona

Happy 9th anniversary to us!  How do we celebrate?  With a balloon ride over the red rocks!

The van picked us up at 4:25am... And away we went to the launch site!


We watched as they got the balloon ready for us!




It was gorgeous!  Just breathtaking and a smooth ride!


We watched the sun rise!



There were several other balloons out that day:). It was gorgeous!




Then we landed!  We watched them deflate the balloon and then we were taken to a park for mimosas and a light breakfast!


We went back to our hotel, got changed and headed for a hike on Fay Canyon.





It was breathtaking here!


John kept telling me to look to the right for an arch.. And most people miss it because it looks like its part if the mountain, but I found it!!!


So we took a detour off the trail and hiked to the arch.  It was a very pebbly trail, but the end result was amazing!!!


I made it!  It was a pretty hard hike, but so thrilling!






We then made our way down and John started calling me a mountain goat.  He then told me we would do Cathedral before we left cause he knew I could do it!!

We continued on the trail and ended at this Snake.  We were gonna climb it but it was 90 plus degrees and time to hike the mile back!






So beautiful!  We went back to the hotel and got cleaned up and had some leftovers.  It was getting really cloudy out, so I snapped some more pictures!




We went to Uptown Sedona and dinked around looking at all the shops.  We stopped at The Cowboy Club for beers and cactus fries, with prickly pear sauce.  They were delish!  Another place recommended by Jimmy!



We ended up going to The Crooked Goose for dinner.  The salads were fresh and our meals were amazing!  I got the special, which was a red rock pasta with chicken, steak, shrimp, mushrooms in a caper tomato sauce.  Perfectly paired with a Cabernet Sauvignon. John got the fish special and some onion rings.    Definitely coming to this place again!


Another great day in Sedona!   I feel so blessed and happily married!
