To break up hours and days of driving, my mom and I are spending a couple of day in Sedona, AZ. It's absolutely spectacular, in a way that every time I see the red rocks I start giggling. Driving down the windy mountain road was a total blast since the speed limit was 15MPH for a reason. And about halfway down you get your first look. Not just amazing mountains, but color! Holy crap! Mom remains way less impressed than me.
Today was uber-leisurely. Spent some quality time by the pool reading my book. Sitting on the balcony reading my book. Generally avoiding the car. Although sitting by the pool was a little weird. Partially because I am the youngest by a lot. (It also makes the cutest person in a swimsuit). I am a grad student who can't afford to drink the time-share kool-aid. There are people from freakin' Phoenix who own multiple timeshares in Sedona, which is only an hour or so away. And all they can talk about is how great it is to time-share. I wonder if the time-share comes with matching tracksuits. That said, I can't knock it but so much, because the place we are staying is super-nice.
We drove up to the airport mesa to watch sunset. Which was pretty gorgeous and very close to moonrise. Tomorrow we do the Grand Canyon, and hopefully some other hiking on Tuesday. Ha! I make mom hike!
