Just got back guys, and boy oh boy, flying just isn't for me!!
It won't stop me from going places, but yuck, I prefer to keep my feet on the ground!
I've flown alot in the past, but just don't care for it. Our flight, both coming and going, were delayed, we missed connecting flights, storms, turbulence..........all I can say is, I was happy to get there and happy to get home!
I'm what you call a "nervous flyer"

Lots of pics are coming.............so, I hope you enjoy! All I can say for Arizona is, if you haven't seen it, your really missing out!!
It has a beauty that you just don't see every day!

Well, here we are on the plane........I had a can of pringles to help calm me.......



and here is Jerry playing terrorist with a small plastic knife that they gave us with our snack! ( I told him there's nothing funny about terrorists)


Just him being goofy again.



This is my view when I finally had enough nerve to look out the window. It's kind of cool to be up on top of the clouds for a change.


In between the clouds, you could see tiny little farms...

First night after Jerry got done with his business, we took a drive around the town. Scottsdale is actually where we were at.








Of course we saw this and had to take a pic while out driving!



Jerry and the rental car




We found a casino, so had to go in and "donate" our money!

We stopped at this reststop out in the middle of the desert one day on our way to Sedona, and we tried to take a pic of ourselves. The mountain range in the background was breathtaking!!!















I thought this little cactus was cute!

Well, as far as Sedona goes, if any of you have ever been there, it is one of the most beautiful places that God ever created! The mountains there are just wonderful......

I tried to catch the sign, but was too quick!



Coming into the town, there was a chapel that I had heard about and wanted to stop at. Whether your religious or not, it gives you goosebumps!


It's very small, but very moving......


We went in and lit candles for all our dear departed loved ones......it brought me to tears, but tears in a good way.


Sorry these came out so dark inside.


These were outside


The view from the church! This is actually someones house we were told!!!!!


The moutain range around Sedona was so so so so so beautiful! The mountains are a red color!

My little sister and her husband and their baby to be live there. In Glendale. We are going there in November when she has the baby. We went in February and it was really nice. I couldn't go during the summer months because I hate really hot weather. I couldn't imagine living there. I like the cold. Sedona is a beautiful place too.

There's no place like home
You are making me homesick!!! I absolutely LOVE Arizona!! Never actually lived there, but have had family there for years (grandparents, parents, sister, brother, aunts/uncles, etc) and spent enough time out there that it feels like home to me. It looks like you had a really nice time!

I'm so glad you got a picture of my house! (just kidding)

Wow, it looks like you had a ton of fun! I'm glad your back. Please forgive the virtual kitty party at your house. 8-Bit shall have to buy you a new bag of flour.

Looks like you had a great trip! What breathtaking scenery! So glad that you're back. I don't much like flying either (that's an understatement - I have to be doped up on Gravol just to get the courage to get on a plane - strange thing for an air force brat). We all missed you, Susie!
