Thanksgiving 2012

We spent the first couple of days at home, doing the usual kind of thing...

 

fruit turkeys!

real turkeys!

...and then we hit the road.  We visited the Painted Desert and Petrified National Forest,

 

...and then onward to Sedona!

 

 

 

To anyone who is planning a visit to the Southwest and plans to go to Arizona, I highly recommend a stop in Sedona.  This area could have been (perhaps should have been) made into a National Park.  It is just beautiful. 

As it is, there are plenty of state parks to hike and bike and climb in, and a river I hear is good for swimming in (haven't tried that yet), and plenty of other stuff to do.  We've barely scratched the surface.

Thanks for the visit, Granny and Papa!
