Arizona -part 3 Sedona

1/18/2019 -Sedona

Sedona is definitely an amazing place.  Feels so different than the dated parts of Route 66.  Amazing skies and views.  The architecture is beautiful.  Everything seems so clean and new.   There are rules about what colors you can use on your house and you are only allowed one 60 watt bulb on the outside of the house.   This really gives the town a nice feel. There are loads of vortexes here. You can feel the good energy. Definitely feels like a healthy place to be. 

Patrick bought himself a real cowboy hat.  He never spends money but found one that looked and felt great.  So he bit the bullet.  I think it was a good choice.  

Started this morning with a pink jeep tour.  Bonnie our driver took us to diamond gulch.  Beyond off roading we went down cliffs.  It was a dose of home school.  In addition to learning about the geography of the area we also learned about the animal habitats and behaviors of the packrat (they like shiny things) the red tail hawk and how they charm the rattle snake, the tarantula hawk who is actually more of a wasp, and the badger.     Nora said “it was educational but bumpy-like my education”. 
Kate said “it was aggressive”
Patrick described it as “it vibrated the bones and it reignited the outdoors”
John called it thrilling with beautiful views of the red rock.  

Passed a billboard that said 
“Adulting is soup and I am a fork”. This brought some discussion.  Kate and Patrick seem to be stuck on a version of a song that says “he was a moth she was a lamp, can it be any more obvious”


A drive to Jerome, a haunted mining town. Dinner at the asylum was expensive and food was ok but the kids were entertained by the haunted feeling. We colored on. The paper on the table.  There is a book full of stories from guests about their haunted experiences.  We drove up to what seemed like a haunted junkyard.  Full of old trucks and folklore.   Whole town had an eerie feel. Scariest part to me was the dirt roads on the edge of the mountain!
