for those that don't know, the hubby and i took a little trip this past weekend...

last year, we brought the baby but this year it was sans kids....

love our kids dearly but it was a nice break...

nice to get a little extra sleep...eat a nice, hot meal uninterrupted...have some adult conversation...

all in the lovely town of Sedona...

such a different experience this year without the baby...

still the amazing views...

but, we actually got to enjoy more of what sedona has to offer...hiking, mountain biking etc...

just taking in the views--not having to worry about a hungry, tired baby...

anyways, i wanted to post just one post but i realized that i have far too many photos...

on our second day there, we took a little road trip about 3 hours north of sedona to a little city called Page...

i wanted to go here because i was very intrigued by pictures that i had seen of these slot canyons... stunning images of nothing quite like i've ever seen before...

a sandstone canyon carved by water....

red in color, where the light peeks through...

such an amazing thing to see!

(unfortunately, it was cloudy so we didn't get to see those amazing sun rays but that light was still there...)

this canyon was called Antelope Canyon...

located on Navajo land...so we had to get an official tour guide to take us there...

there was a 4 mile stretch of off road...what a crazy ride....

i thought the car was going to fall off the axle... we honestly wondered how many cars they go through or just car repairs in one year alone...

once we arrived... we got our tour and were then given time to just snap away...

and i did just that....

what a sight to behold..

it was worth the drive....

stay tuned for the rest of our trip...
