32 years and counting

We celebrated a little early this year and Sunday afternoon took off on a short road trip.
For our late afternoon adventure we drove to Flagstaff up through Payson.
I wanted to drive the new car up the road past Strawberry.
Spent the night in Flagstaff.
Up late for breakfast at the Crown King Railroad Cafe', of course.
Hiked Walnut Canyon, it wasn't too bad. They anticipate where you are going to run out of air and have benches with a view, to stop and rest.
Walked around down town Flagstaff, went to the art fair, took a nap on the grass by the train station, all before heading home.
We came back by way of Sedona.
Mike wanted to drive the new car down the canyon.
Stopped at the famous Cross Church in the red rocks.
I'm sure it's called something else, but it was beautiful.
Then off to home.
Between Camp Verde and just south of Black Canyon City, 30mph was our top speed. It took almost 2 hours to go 30 miles.
Quiet time to relax, visit and watch the crazies who were in a hurry to get home.
Ben had hambergers waiting when we arrived home and we all sat and watched some TV and just vegged.
It's good to have these times together.

Yes, the houses were built more for people my short and shorter. I could barely fit through one of the doors.
