I miss this

I was going through my pictures, so I could write some posts up over at My Road Less Traveled By, and I came across this picture.  Man, I miss this.  Here in Chicago, it is cold and everything is dead.  This was our view driving in from the resort to downtown Sedona.

Packing

The weirdest thing is happening right now.  I am blogging, and without me asking, Bill is packing up the suitcases.  I almost fell off the couch in amazement.  I love my husband, but he usually is not this helpful.  It is nice.  I figured I would blog a bit and then pack.  We pretty much have to get up in the morning and leave, so the packing really needs to be done tonight.  He even started the last load of laundry.  I think we need to go on vacation more often.

While in Arizona, we bought a lot of postcards to show Madison where we have been. We have also bought her some of the area books. However, I have been downloading our pictures to the computer (don’t have them on Flickr yet though), and we have a lot of really great photos. You can check out my prior post about the view from our room for the pictures I got a chance to upload at this point. As you can tell, I think we may have some postcard quality pictures. We have been all over the area and to the Grand Canyon, so we have lots of great pictures.

Did you know that you can get some cheap postcards from Vista Print? I am considering do this with some of our best photos. They would hold up much better than just printing them out when we get home. I have also seen some people use these postcards for invitations for parties too. All you have to do is use the code BlogPostcards100 when you check out, and you can get 100 free postcards. Pretty nice, huh? (I am also considering getting some of their other products like their magnets and such and customize them with some of our pictures).

Our View Of Sedona

In my last post, I said we had an awesome view from our room.  Well, since it is light now, I could get some pictures.  These were taken about 8 am this morning.  Wouldn’t you like to wake up to this?

Rain, rain, go away

I thought we left the crappy weather in Chicago. However, it looks like we brought it with us. I have been up since 4 am, but I wanted to post that we made it here! I love it! Our hotel is nicer than my house. I took a few pictures for you all.

Here’s the kitchen:

The dining area:

The living room:

Our bedroom:

And lastly, the bathroom:

I can’t believe we are going to be staying in this room for a week! So what do you guys think? Nice, huh? We have a great view, but since it is dark, I’ll get a picture in the morning.

Today has been a really long day. Our plane got delayed and our flight was like being squished in a sardine can. However, we got here, the kids are doing great, and I almost feel like we are on our honeymoon again. Unfortunately, we both are severely jet lagged right now. Bill fell asleep almost instantly after we got here (which is why I am on the internet right now). I brought a couple of books to read, but I’d rather be playing here.

I hope to post a little more later in the week and let you know what we have been up to!
