Bye Arizona! See you soon!

We got breakfast at hotel and then we were off to the airport for our journey back home.



Gonna miss the cactus!
Got a fabulous burrito at the airport!


On the plane to Minneapolis.


We had a three hour layover so we ate at Ike's.  I had a chicken flatbread with Gouda and John had a bacon cheeseburger.  This food was awesome! Plus, the booths had storage under your seat for luggage!!





We took our time and then walked to our gate.

The best. Gate. Ever!

iPads, charging stations and push iPad to order drinks and food!  So I had some wine!







And finally in the plane to Grand Rapids.  Awesome vacation, can't wait to do it again with my best friend! :)

Day 6, Sedona

We woke up late, 5:30am, it was one of the latest mornings for us, as we woke up early every day for our activities.  This morning we were going to Cathedral Rock, one of the most famous places in Sedona.

Last sunrise!




Cathedral, one of the most photographed sites in Arizona!!  Elevation 4921.  





And away we go!

Century Tree

More beauty...


Getting closer! 


View down...

Reached the peak to see the other side!!



There are no words!!!


Then I hung out on a ledge!



Caught this rainbow!

We stayed up top about an hour and just enjoyed the views.


Then on the way back down, I took pics of the rocks I climbed when there was no trail!  John kept calling me Mountain goat.




After our hike we went to breakfast at Coffeepot!  I loved the mugs!
I has a bacon, mushroom, avocado.omelette and John made a version of a Keane, eggs, gravy, biscuits, and corned beef hash.  It was pretty tasty.



We went back to the hotel, showered and packed up and said bye to Sedona.


Another fantastic morning!

Day 5, Sedona

We woke up to a beautiful sunrise!  


We headed to the store to get more water, as we actually ran out.  We had bought 5 gallons on Sunday.  We went to breakfast at Cafe Jose... We both had huevos rancheros... Yum!!
... And then off to The Grand Canyon!



It was under two hours to get to the South Rim.


We started off at Yaki Point...amazing!




... And we went on that ledge, lol!


Then we went and stood on this platform!!!  It was breathtaking!


That's John waving!

We took the free shuttle to South Kaibab.
There is a squirrel hanging out!





We then got back on the shuttle and took it to Powell Point.


Next up, we walked to Hopi Point.


And it was my favorite part.



Then our last stop was Pima Point.  We had great views of the Colorado River there!




We then took the shuttle back to our cars and headed to Tusayan to eat lunch.  

We found this highly reviewed place, Plaza Bonita.  I had a pork burrito and John had chicken burrito.  

On our way back we stopped at the Indian market again and I got some cute animal jewelry.  Then we went to Uptown Sedona to walk around and get some souvenirs. 

You name this rock... Lol...


Me with a javelina!  They had Javelinas on parade!  Kinda like Herky on parade!


Happy hour!


We ate leftovers that we had accumulated over the week.


We headed to Oak Creek after for a stargazing event.  Unfortunately, it was really cloudy and it had to be cancelled but not before we saw Saturn through the telescope!!  That was so cool.

Another glorious vacation day!
