Where have I been??
Wow....I can't believe it's been almost a week and a half since I got home from Arizona. I'm just now starting to get back into the rhythm here. That three hour time change is a killer when you don't have a few days after your trip to re-adjust.
Kristyn and I had an amazing time in AZ. We drove all over the state and laughed the whole time. Of course the fun started before we even left the Detroit Metro Airport where I tried to catch my boob on fire with a match that broke as I lit it and flew down my shirt. Oh yeah, nice little scar there now.
On day two, we drove into Sedona and Kristyn(who really is a blond) asked if the ground was sunburned because the dirt/rocks were so red. Our catch phrase during the trip when she asked a silly question was "You're so pretty". By the end of the trip she was gorgeous!
We went to this little dive in Flagstaff for dinner called Crazy Bill's Steakhouse. Outside there was this giant cow statue and a marquee that said "Who put the noodle in the poodle? The fireman". I still don't know what the hell that means...but our steaks were delicious. And of course, the local drunks bought us drinks all night. Kudos to Nancy, the bartender, who was a doll.
On day three, we drove up through Painted Desert to go to Page, AZ. Along the way we saw a dead mule lying in a field on the side of the road. On the way back, he was eating grass. We were both pretty that day. I think Antelope Canyon in Page was our favorite place. To be able to walk through this slot canyon and see the sunlight shimmer down through the top...amazing. Painted Desert was gorgeous too. The name is perfect....I could have spent days there taking photographs.
On day four, we stopped at the Little Colorado River Canyon to take pictures, and buy jewelry from the local Native Americans. Of course, we didn't expect to see the wild horses...that was a bonus. And a bigger bonus was when the boy horse tried to mount the girl horse and she kicked him in the head. Bummer I missed that shot. Then they got shy and took off. I guess they didn't like an audience. We continued on to the Grand Canyon and Roximoon was right....it's surreal! It looks like a painting, it's so beautiful. There was even an isolated thunderstorm that moved over the canyon. It surprised me that all around the south rim, there were places that you could pull off and actually step right up to the edge....and fall off if you weren't careful.
Then there was the freak snow storm on our last day in Flagstaff. It dumped 5 inches of snow as we were leaving. We saw 8 accidents in 30 minutes on the way down the mountain. Talk about a white knuckle kinda day. Oh, and we killed a tumbleweed. Poor little thing, didn't have a chance.
The rest of our trip we spent at a resort in Scottsdale. We did take a day and go back to Sedona and to Jerome. What a gorgeous area, but then, it was all beautiful. I would certainly go back there again. And I'm sure I will. Kristyn was terrified of scorpions, and she was sure she was going to be bitten(she wasn't), so she made me carry my epi-pen everywhere we went. She's so pretty.
Today, while reading the news online, I came across this story and it made me smile. It's nice to see that there are still good people in this world.
Hope everyone has a great day!

I'm Home!
Ahhh....it was a wonderful trip...but at the same time, I'm glad to be home.
I've downloaded some of my pictures here , so feel free to stop by and see some of them!
I took almost 200 photos, so it may be a while before I can get them all on here. But the best are at the link!
I'm too darn tired to write more....
crap...I have to work tomorrow.
