weekend trip: canyon lake, az

This weekend was nice and relaxing. A few weekends ago we made a short drive to Canyon Creek Lake, AZ to check it out. I’m so glad we did. This past Saturday we set out prepared. We brought a cooler full of a picnic lunch and other goodies. Aurora really enjoyed feeding the ducks and just playing new the water. Marc and I enjoy the peaceful place we had found. We are defiantly going to be going back there more often. Sometimes it’s just nice to get away, even if it’s just for a few hours.

The drive in is so beautiful.




You know I must have really been enjoying myself. I loaded my photos onto my computer and realized that I didn't even take that many pictures, which is very rare for me. I was way to distracted by how peaceful it was there to grab my camera.

I hope you enjoyed your weekend as well! What were you up too?

Day Trip to Sedona.

Yesturday was a beautiful day in Arizona to take a nice little day trip. Our good friend, Sam, is in town and has never really been to this part of the country before. One of the most amazing places I've been to is Sedona, AZ. Just driving into this town is beautiful. I've heard tt is consider the very end piece of the Grand Canyon so I can only image what that must look like. We need to make a trek to the Grand Canyon sometime in the futre that's for sure.

Driving into Sedona




Anything we go we stop at Slide Rock Park. The water was rushing pretty hard, but on a calm day you'll see tons of people and family sliding down the smooth stones in the cool water.

I love the shops in Sedona, it's a total artist community. There are typical tourists shops as well as art galleries, handmade boutique, and some great food.

We've been having a blast, Aurora couldn't be having more fun, and I couldn't be more sore! The weekend isn't over yet, can't wait for more fun!

Enjoy everybody!
