Weekend Getaway!

Lucky me!  My sister was available for an overnight trip to Sedona.  It was amazing!  I came home feeling as if I'd just returned from a vacation.

I have to pass Krispy Kreme to get to Lori's house, so it has become tradition to eat doughnuts before every road trip.


Second stop, Alcantara Vineyards. Google Maps sent us down a questionable dirt road into what looked like the middle of nowhere, but it did eventually lead to a lovely winery. So welcoming and peaceful! We sat outside and enjoyed a cheese plate with our wine tasting.










The chapel on the propery was being set up for a wedding. What a beautiful setting!



We stopped in Cottonwood for lunch at the Tavern, and a wine and chocolate tasting at Fire Mountain's tasting room. Somehow I didn't get any pictures!  

Our suite in Sedona was amazing!  We settled in and relaxed a bit before heading out for dinner.  This is the view from the master bedroom.




Dinner at Vino de Sedona.  Huge selection of wines, of course.


Back at the suite, we rearranged the furniture to more comfortably watch TLC while drinking wine and eating chocolate.


Morning walk before breakfast!  What kind of tree is that?



Quiche and scone breakfast at Creekside Bakery. They do have a great view!


Pool Time!





The Red Rock Jeep Tour ROCKED!  So much fun.  We even hand rain and thunder for a bit.  Amazing how quickly the rushing water dissipated.  


Imagine living here!  No phones, no lights, no motor cars....




 Stunning views.



Standing on a minor vortex. The energy is phenomenal!  Oh, wait.  That's just us.


One more winery - Oak Creek Vineyards. 


That was fun.  Let's do it again!
